Preparing Your Switch
Using the Mobile app: Connect the switch to an existing wireless network. This could be a wireless access point
(shown above), wireless router, or mesh extender. You will need something to act as your DHCP server (a router or
switch as shown above). Once connected, proceed to the “Get Congured” section to download the app.
Using the Web User Interface (UI): Connect a computer to one of the switch ports with an Ethernet cable. Make sure
your computer is on and proceed to the Web UI Setup instructions under the “Get Congured” section.

The switch will attempt to acquire an IP address if there is a DHCP server in the network. If the switch cannot
acquire an IP address through DHCP, it uses the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, with a subnet mask
of /24.
●
If the switch is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254/24, you must choose an IP address for the
computer in the range of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.
