Follow these instructions to set up your smart switch.

Prepare to Install Your Smart Switch

• Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter and a CD ROM drive.

• Before proceeding with the smart switch installation, familiarize yourself with the contents of the Resource CD, especially the manuals.

First, Install the Smartwizard Discovery Utility on a PC

1. Power on your PC, let the operating system boot up completely, and log in as needed.

2. Insert the Resource CD for the Smart Switch Series into your CD-ROM drive. The CD main page shown below will load.

Next, Connect Your Smart Switch in the Correct Order

Note: 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 it to your network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch will default to 192.168.0.239 for its IP address. To configure the switch before connecting it to your network, set up the PC with an IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect the PC to the switch. Then, use the Smartwizard Discovery utility as illustrated below to configure the switch.

1. Connect the smart switch to your network.

Now, Configure the Switch with the SmartWizard Discovery Utility

1. Double click the SmartWizard GearDiscovery icon on your desktop or

in Windows Start menu Programs to run the utility and view this screen.

2. Power on the switch.

3. Verify that the PC with the SmartWizard GearDiscovery utility is on the same subnet as the switch.

2. Click Discover to find your switch in the network.

The SmartWizard GearDiscovery utility finds the switch and displays its MAC Address, IP Address, and model number. If you cannot configure your switch, verify that the cable connections are secure, that the IP address configuration of the PC is in the same subnet as the switch, and click the Discover button.

3. Click to select the line displaying the details of your switch. If there are multiple smart switches in your network, be sure to select the one you want to configure.

4. Click Web Access to view the switch log in screen.

After you log in to the switch, the main Web Access menu displays.

Use the configuration menu options to configure your switch.

Power Over Ethernet Option

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.

For each powered on computer connected to the smart switch with a securely plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding smart switch LAN port status light will be lit.

Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.

In most cases, computers should be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP. For help with this, please see the animated tutorials on the CD or the Reference Manual Appendix C on the CD.

If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure the switch and computer are configured with valid IP addresses.
