If the Power LED does light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the
power source is functioning correctly. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix A
“Troubleshooting”.
Step 8: Managing the Switch through a Web Browser or the
PC Utility for Initial Configuration
The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it
works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the ports
without using the management software. However, the management software enables you to setup
VLAN and Trunking features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the
improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, you can configure the Smart Switch using a Web
browser or a utility program called SmartWizard Discovery. For more information about managing
the switch, see the Software Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD.
Note: When the device powers up, there is a default IP address already configured on the
device. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
