Configuring the Switch
Smart Managed Plus switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used
without any configuration. You can also configure and manage additional
advanced features of the switch either by using your computer’s web
browser or by installing the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility on your
Windows-based computer.
Web Browser Access
You can configure a switch when it is connected only to your computer
(o-network), or connected to your computer and your network
(on-network).
¾ To use your web browser to configure your switch:
1. If you are configuring the switch o-network, record your computer’s
TCP/IP configuration settings, and then configure the computer with a
static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and with 255.255.255.0 as the
subnet mask.
Note: If you are unsure how to do this, visit netgear.com/support and
search for Static IP address on computer.
2. Plug the switch into a power outlet and connect your computer to the
switch using an Ethernet cable.
3. If you are configuring the switch on-network, connect the switch to
your network with another Ethernet cable.
4. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch.
If the switch is o-network or connected to a network with no DHCP
server, use its default IP address, http://192.168.0.239. If the
switch is connected to a network with a DHCP server, use the IP
address that the DHCP server assigned to the switch. If you are unsure
how to determine the IP address of the switch, you can use the ProSAFE
Plus Configuration Utility.
5. Enter the password.
The default password is password.
6. Click the Login button.
You can now configure additional options for the switch in the web
management interface.
7. When you finish configuring an o-network switch, return your
computer to its original TCP/IP settings and connect the switch to your
network using an Ethernet cable.
ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility Access
The ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility runs on Windows-based computers.
Visit netgear.com/support/product/PCU to download the utility.
¾ To configure the switch:
1. Double-click the ProSAFE Plus Utility icon.
The configuration home page displays a list of Smart Managed Plus
switches that it discovers on the local network.
2. Select the switch that you want to configure from the list.
3. When prompted, enter the password.
The default password is password.
4. Use the utility to configure the switch settings.
For a description of Smart Managed Plus features, see the ProSAFE Plus
Switch Utility User Guide. You can access the user guide through links
on the Help tab of the utility.
