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.

192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and
subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.
