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 defaults 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 Smart
Wizard Discovery utility as illustrated below to configure the switch.

Troubleshooting Tips

Following are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.

Be sure to power on your PC and smart switch in the correct sequence.

Follow this sequence:

1. Turn off the smart switch and computer.

2. Turn on the smart switch and wait two minutes.

3. Turn on the computer.

Ensure 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.

Ensure the network settings of the computer are correct.

In most cases, computers should be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via
DHCP. If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure the switch and computer are
configured with valid IP addresses.
