Establishing a Remote Connection to the Web Browser Interface
The AT-GS950/8 switch is shipped with a pre-assigned IP address of
192.168.1.1.
After your initial login, you may want to assign a new IP address to your
switch. To manually assign an IP address to the switch, refer to
“Configuring an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address” on
page 10. To configure the switch to obtain its IP configuration from a
DHCP server, refer to “Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client” on
page 14.
Whether you use the pre-assigned IP address or assign a new one, you
must set your local PC to the same subnet as the switch.
To start a web browser management session, do the following procedure:
1. Start your web browser.
2. In the URL field of the browser, enter 192.168.1.1 which is the default
IP address of the switch. See Figure 1.

Configuration of IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address
This procedure explains how to change the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address of the switch. Before performing the procedure, note the
following:
A gateway address is only required if you want to remotely manage
the device from a management station that is separated from the
switch by a router.
To configure the switch to automatically obtain its IP configuration
from a DHCP server on your network, go to “DHCP Client
Configuration” on page 18.
To change the switch’s IP configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System
folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select IP Setup.
The IP Setup Page is displayed. See Figure 5.
Figure 5. IP Setup Page
3. Change the IP configuration parameters by observing or entering new
information in the following fields:
System MAC Address - This parameter displays the MAC
address of the switch. You cannot change this parameter.
System IP Address - Displays the current IP address of the
switch. To change the IP address, enter a new IP address.
When DHCP is enabled, you cannot change this parameter.
System Subnet Mask - Displays the current subnet mask of the
switch. To change the subnet mask, enter a new subnet mask.

Note
Changing the IP address ends your management session. To
resume managing the device, enter the new IP address of the switch
in the web browser’s URL field, as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
5. After you log on to the switch with the new IP address, select Save
Configuration to Flash from the main menu on the left side of the
page to save the new IP address to memory.
Caution
If you do not select Save Configuration to Flash, the IP address
will revert to its original setting when you power cycle or reboot the
switch.
