Conguration
The switch is plug and play. To congure the switch, you can use the Web-based
GUI or the conguration utility.
The utility is only supported on Windows now.
Using the Conguration Utility
1. Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support and search the model number of your
switch. Download the Easy Smart Conguration Utility from the product
Support web page on your PC.
Using the Web-based GUI
Note: If the switch gets a new IP address from the DHCP server, your connection to
the switch will be lost. Enter the new IP address in your browser to access the
switch again.
1. Find out the IP address of the switch.
By default, the switch receives an IP addess from a DHCP server (or a router
that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can nd out this IP
address on the DHCP server.
If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the
static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
2. Congure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in the
same subnet.
If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to
obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, congure your PC’s IP
address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as
255.255.255.0.
Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in the
address bar and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name and
password.
3.
Now you can congure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further
information, refer to the User Guide.
Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch,
and you can nd this guide on the product Support web page. Now you can congure the switch using the conguration utility. For further
information, refer to the Easy Smart Conguration Utility User Guide.
Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch,
and you can nd this guide on the product Support web page.
Double click the icon on the desktop, and the
utility Home page will display a list of TP-Link
switches on the local network.
3.
2. Decompress the downloaded le, run the
installation wizard and follow the prompts to install
the Easy Smart Conguration Utility.
4.
If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a
DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP
address automatically from the DHCP server.
If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address,
congure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x
(”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as
255.255.255.0.
Click to nd out IP parameters of the switch.
Double click the switch that you want to congure. Log in with admin as both
user name and password.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Why is the Power LED not lit?
By default, the Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally.
If the Power LED is not lit, please try the following:
A1: Make sure the power source is ON, and PoE-in ports are connected to power
sourcing devices.
A2: Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the
input voltage of the switch (specic range refers to Disclaimer No.3).
A3: Make sure the electric current of DC out/port 8 is within the proper range
(specic range refers to Disclaimer No. 4).
Q2. Why is the Link/Act LED not lit while a device is
connected to the corresponding port?
Please try the following:
A1: Make sure that the cable connectors are rmly plugged into the switch and the
device.
A2
: Make sure the connected device is turned on and works normally.
A3
: The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet). The actual distance
varies under dierent voltage and electric current. When higher electric
current is in need, the transmission distance is shorter.
