• 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.

Utility on a PC

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.
2. Power on the switch.
3. Verify that the PC with the Smartwizard Discovery is on the same subnet as the
switch.

Troubleshooting Tips
Here 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. Turn off the smart switch and computer. First, turn on the smart
switch and wait two minutes. Next turn on the computer.
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.
