Figure 7: Installing a SFP Module into a SFP Port
WARNING: Infrared radiation as used for data transmission within the fiber optic,
although invisible to the human eye, can nevertheless cause damage.
To avoid damage to the eyes:
never look straight into the output of fiber optic components –danger of blinding!
cover all unused optical connections with caps.
commission the transmission link only after completing all connections.

3. Initial Configuration of Switch
3.1 Initial Switch Configuration Using Web Browsers
After powering up the switch for the first time, you can perform the initial switch
configuration using a web browser. For managing other switch features, please refer to
the Web interface user guide for details.
To begin with the initial configuration stage, you need to reconfigure your PC’s IP address
and subnet mask so as to make sure the PC can communicate with the switch. After
changing PC’s IP address (for example, 192.168.1.250), then you can access the Web
interface of the switch using the switch’s default IP address as shown below.
The initial switch configurations are as follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Login: admin
Password: admin
3.2 Initial Switch Configuration Procedure
The initial switch configuration procedure is as follows:
1. Power up the PC that you will use for the initial configuration. Please make sure the
PC has the Ethernet RJ45 connector to be connected to the switch via standard
Ethernet LAN cable.
2. Reconfigure the PC’s IP address and subnet mask as below, so that it can
communicate with the switch. The method to change the PC’s IP address, for
example, for a PC running Windows® 7/8.x/10, is as follows:
Step 1: Type “network and sharing“into the Search box in the Start Menu
Step 2: Select Network and Sharing Center
Step 3: Click on Change adapter settings on the left of PC screen
Note: Users can also skip step 1 to 3, by pressing WinKey+R and type ”ncpa.cpl”
command to get to step 4 directly.
Step 4: Right-click on your local adapter and select Properties
Step 5: In the Local Area Connection Properties window highlight Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click the Properties button.
Note: Be sure to record all your PC’s current IP settings to be able to restore them
later.
Step 6: Select the radio button Use the following IP address and enter in the IP
for the PC (e.g. any IP address not in use, and in between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.254), Subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0), and Default gateway
that corresponds with your network setup. Then enter your preferred and
Alternate DNS server addresses.

Step 7: Click OK to change the PC’s IP address.
3. Power up the switch to be initially configured, and wait until it has finished its
start-up processes.
4. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable, and
check the port LED on the switch to make sure the link status of the PC’s is OK.
5. Run your Web browser on the PC; enter the factory default IP address, to access
the switch’s Web interface.
If your PC is configured correctly, you will see the login page of the switch as shown by
Figure 9 below.
Figure 8: Web Interface login page
If you do not see the above login page, please perform the following steps:
- Refresh the web page.
- Check to see if there is an IP conflict issue.
- Clean browser cookies and temporary internet files.
- Check your PC settings again and repeat step 2.
6. Enter the factory default username and password in login page.
Click “Login” to log into the switch.
