Installing
Tools required:
• Phillips screwdriver (if using rack-mount brackets)
• Computer with Ethernet interface and a modern web browser
• Ethernet cable
• Optional: A USB Micro-B adapter (not included) is necessary to use the console
interface.
To set up any of these switches:
1 Remove the switch from the box.
2 Optional: Install the rack-mount brackets. (See next pages for diagrams.)
If mounting the switch in a standard 19" AV rack, attach the switch’s rack-mount
brackets. If not mounting to a rack, make sure that the switch is physically
mounted near power and network connections (for example, a backbone switch
or firewall/router).
3 Connect power to the switch.
4 Connect any port on the switch to your network where a DHCP server and the
internet can be accessed. You are now ready to configure the switch with an IP
address in your network range.

Logging in through the network
You can log in to the switch’s interface using a web browser on a computer that’s
connected to the network.
To log in through the network:
1 Connect the managed switch to a power source. The PWR LED lights up and the
fans power on.
2 Connect the switch to the network or directly to the router, then connect your
computer to the same network.
3 Open the network router’s interface to find the DHCP table, then look for the
host name matching the model and MAC address of the switch and note the
corresponding IP address.
4 In a web browser, enter the IP address you took note of in step 3.
5 Enter the username and password. (The default username is admin and the
password is password.)

Console into the switch
Pakedge MS Series switches have a USB Micro B console port that serves as an out-
of-band management point of switch access. This can be useful when network access
to the switch is not available. A USB console driver installed by your operating system
may be required before you can access the console.
To download and install the console driver:
1 Go to
pkdge.co/consoledriver .
2 Follow that page’s instructions for downloading and installing the driver.
To console into the switch:
1 Connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the switch, then
connect the other end to your computer.
2 Open your chosen terminal emulator software (PuTTY, Terra Term, or Serial for
MacOS), enter the COM port that your adapter is using, then set the following:
Baud Rate: 115200
Character Size: 8
Parity Code: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None

Resetting the IP address through the console
You can reset the switch’s IP address through the console. This can be helpful in case of
missconfiguration.
1 Console into the switch as described above.
2 Type “show network” and press Enter to see the current IP address and protocol
mode.
3 To change the switch’s network connection method, type “network protocol” and
either “dhcp” or “none”.
4 To change the switch IP address, type “network parms” and then enter the
<IPaddress>, <subnet mask>, and, optionally, the <default gateway> and press
Enter.
The switch is now accessible from the newly configured IP address.
Restoring factory defaults through the console
You can restore the switch’s factory defaults through the console, if the switch it is not
functioning properly.
1 Console into the switch as described above.
2 Type “erase startup-config” and press Enter.
3 Type “reload” and press Enter. The switch reboots and restores the factory
default settings.
