Managing the Gigabit Smart Switch Eco Fanless through the Ethernet Port
Before you communicate with the switch, you must first configure its IP address or know the IP address of the switch. Then,
follow the procedures described next.
1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC, using a qualified UTP CAT5 cable with an RJ-45
connector.
NOTE: If a PC directly connects to the switch, you have to set up the same subnet mask between them. However, the subnet
mask may be different for the PC in the remote site. See Figure 3-6 for default IP address information of the 24-Port
Gigabit Smart Switch Eco Fanless.
2. Run a Web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 5.
