How to Start an AT-GS950/24 WEB Management Session

DHCP and ATI Web Discovery Tool

The AT-GS950/24 Gigabit Ethernet Smart switch is managed through a web browser interface only. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

The switch does not have a local console connector, which means that you cannot learn what the switch’s management IP address is on a web browser without first knowing what the address is. Once the IP address is known, you can enter it in the browser.

When the DHCP feature is enabled, a DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address which is not advertised over the network. As a consequence, you do not know what IP address has been assigned to the switch.

Note

The new IP address assignment from the DHCP server may take one to two minutes before the process is completed.

Fortunately, there is an ATI Web Discovery Tool available that resolves this issue. It detects the MAC address, IP address and other information of the AT-GS950 series switches that are present on your local area network.

Note

The ATI Web Discovery Tool is available for download on the

AT-GS950/24 product page at alliedtelesis.com.
