Chapter 2 Connect & Login

2.1 Switch to End Node

Use a standard Cat.5/5e Ethernet cable (UTP/STP) to connect the Switch to end nodes as shown below.
Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of the device to
which is connected.

Please refer to the LED Indicator Specification.The LINK/ACT/Speed LEDs for each port lights on when
the link is available.

Default Value

Default IP address

192.168.2.1

Default user name

admin

Default password

1234

2.2 Login

Open a web browser and go to the switch’s IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.2.2. Your

computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the switch. For the default IP address this is any IP

address in the range 192.168.2.x (x = 3 – 254). You can modify the IP address of your computer if you
need.

1. Enter the switch’s IP address (192.168.2.1) in the URL bar of a web browser. IE 7 or above is

recommended.

2. At the following screen login with the default username “admin” and password “1234”.

3. You will arrive at the switch configuration window as shown below:

Chapter 3 Switch Configuration

The PoE smart switch software provides rich layer 2 functionality for
switches in your networks. This chapter describes how to use the
web-based management interface (Web UI) to configure the switch’s
features.

The left column shows the configuration menu. The top row shows
the switch’s current link status. Green squares indicate the port link is
up, while black squares indicate the port link is down. Below the
switch panel, you can find a common toolbar to provide useful
functions. The rest of the screen area displays the configuration
settings.
