LED Descriptions
The LEDs on the front panel provide users with switch status checking and
monitoring. There are three types of LEDs as follows:
•System LED:Indicates if the switch is powered up correctly or not.
•Mode LEDs: Indicates the mode of all ports on the switch. Users can press the
Mode button sequentially to switch between the two different modes
(Link/Activity/Speed mode and PoE mode).
•Port Status LEDs: Indicates the current status of each port. Users can check
these LEDs to understand the port status in different modes, after changing
the mode by pressing Mode button.

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration of Switch
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 configuration procedure is as follows:
Note:
The factory default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.253
The factory default Subnet Mask of switch is 255.255.255.0
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+Rand 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, so
as 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.
