Installation Guide
These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using
static IP addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before
connecting the switch to your network. If there is no DHCP server, the switch IP
address will default to 192.168.0.239.
1. Set up the computer with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and
connect the computer to the switch. Then, use the Smart Control Center Utility
to configure the switch.
2. Connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
Use Category 5 (Cat 5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an
RJ-45 connector to make these connections.
3. Connect the switch to your network.
4. Power on the switch.
5. Verify that the computer with the Smart Control Center Utility is on the same
subnet as the switch.
