Smart Managed Plus switches are plug-and-play so you do not need to congure
them. You can also congure and manage additional advanced features of the

switch either by using a computer’s web browser or by installing the ProSAFE

Plus Conguration Utility on a Windows-based computer.

Web Browser Access

You can congure a switch when it is connected only to your computer

(off-network), or connected to your computer and your network (on-network).

To use your web browser to congure your switch:

1. If you are conguring the switch off-network, record your computer’s
TCP/IP conguration settings, and then congure the computer with a static

IP address of 192.168.0.210 and with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

If you are unsure how to do this, visit netgear.com/support and search for
Static IP address on computer.

2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch.

If the switch is connected to a network with a DHCP server (which usually is a
router), use the IP address that the DHCP server assigns to the switch. If the
switch is off-network or connected to a network without a DHCP server, use
the switch’s default IP address, http://192.168.0.239.

If you are unsure how to determine the IP address of the switch, you can use

the NETGEAR Insight mobile app, ProSAFE Plus Utility, or NETGEAR Switch

Discovery Tool.
