Applying AC Power
NETGEAR Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing
AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord,
select a grounded 3-pronged AC source that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off
power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate AC source, use the following procedure to
apply AC power.
1. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the
back of the switch.
2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to the 3-pronged AC source.
When applying power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel is green.
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”.
Managing the Switch using 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.
