Connect Your Smart Switch
If you have a DHCP server in you network, see Connect the Switch to Your
Network.
If you are using static IP addresses in you network, first see Configure the
Switch with a Static IP Address, and then see Connect the Switch to Your
Network.
Configure the Switch with a Static IP Address
If you are using a static IP address in you network, configure the switch IP
address before connecting the switch to your network. The default IP address of
the switch is 192.168.0.239.
Note: If you are using a DHCP server in your network, this procedure does not
apply to you; instead, go directly to Connect the Switch to Your Network.
1. Set up the computer with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
2. Connect the computer to the switch.
Connect the Switch to Your Network
1. Connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front
panel.
Use Category 5 (Cat 5) or better Ethernet cable terminated with an RJ-45
connector to make these connections.
2. Connect the switch to your network.
3. Power on the switch.
4. Verify that the computer with the Smart Control Center Utility is on the
same subnet as the switch.

Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you might have.
•Be sure to power on your computer and switch in the following sequence:
1. Turn on the switch and wait about two minutes.
2. Turn on the computer and connect to the switch.
•Make sure the Ethernet cables are plugged in.
For each powered-on computer connected to the switch, the corresponding
switch LAN port status LED is lit.
•Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
In most cases, computers should be configured to obtain an IP address
through DHCP. If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure that the
switch and computer are configured with valid IP addresses. For more
information, see the software administration manual.
