The utility allows operators to centrally manage entire networks of the Easy Smart Switches, which include TL-SG105E/TL-SG108E/TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE. Among of them, TL-SG105E and TL-SG108E can only be configured with Easy Smart Configuration Utility while TL-SG1016DE and TL-SG1024DE can also be managed on their Web-Management page.

The setting figure will be shown as below:
Figure 2-9 Switch Setting
You can configure the switch’s Device Description, DHCP Setting, IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway on this page. The login User Name and Password are required to complete the configuration. By default, they are both admin.
When the switch IP Address is not in the same subnet with host IP Address, it can be discovered by the utility, but you cannot login the utility management page. Therefore, it needs to set the switch IP Address in the same subnet with host IP Address, which allows you to login the utility management page and configure the switch.
Clicking Apply can only make the new configurations effective before the switch is rebooted. If you want to keep the configurations effective even the switch is rebooted, please select the checkbox behind Save Config.
