Configure the Network Settings on the Administrative
System
If you choose not to use the Smart Control Center to configure the network information on the
switch, you can connect directly to the switch from an administrative system, such as a
computer or laptop. The IP address of the administrative system must be in the same subnet
as the default IP address on the switch. For most networks, this means you must change the
IP address of the administrative system to be on the same subnet as the default IP address
of the switch (192.168.0.239).
The method to change the IP address on an administra
tive system varies depending on the
operating system version. You need Windows Administrator privileges to change these
settings. The following procedures show how to change the static IP address on a computer
running a Microsoft Windows 7.
To modify the network settings on your administrative system:
1. Op
en the Control Panel and click Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click the L
ocal Area Connection link.
