60 WSS setup methods
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
• Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher Ethernet cable
If the PC is connected to the network, power down the PC or disable its network interface card (NIC), then unplug the
PC from the network.
Accessing the Web Quick Start
To access the Web Quick Start:
1 Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher Ethernet cable to connect the switch directly to a PC that has a web
browser.
2 Connect the switch to an AC power source.
If the green power LED is lit, the switch is receiving power.
3 Enable the PC’s NIC that is connected to the switch, if not already enabled.
4 Verify that the NIC is configured to use DHCP to obtain its IP address.
You will not be able to access the Web Quick Start if the IP address of the NIC is statically configured.
5 Use a web browser to access IP address 192.168.100.1.
This is a temporary, well-known address assigned to the unconfigured switch when you power it on. The
Web Quick Start enables you to change this address.
The first page of the Quick Start Wizard appears.
Note. You can use a Layer 2 device between the switch and the PC. However, do not
attach the switch to your network yet. The switch requires the PC you attach to it for
configuration to be in the 192.168.100.x subnet, and uses the WSS Software DHCP server
to assign the PC an address from this subnet. If you attach the unconfigured switch to your
network, the switch disables the WSS Software DHCP server, if the switch detects another
DHCP server on the network. If the network does not have a DCHP server, the switch’s
DHCP server remains enabled and will offer IP addresses in the 192.168.100.x subnet in
response to DHCP Requests.
Note. If you are configuring a 2350, do not press the factory reset switch during
power on. Pressing this switch on an unconfigured switch causes the switch to
attempt to contact a WLAN Management Software server instead of displaying the
Web Quick Start. (Other switch models also have reset switches, but the reset
switch simply restarts these other models without clearing the configuration.)
