GS700TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual
1-8 Getting Started with Switch Management
v1.0, December 2007
You must work from the same network segment that contains the switch (i.e., the subnet mask
values of switch and PC host must be the same) and you must point your browser using the switch
IP address. If you used the SmartWizard Discovery utility to set up IP address and subnet mask,
either with or without DHCP server, use that IP address in your browser window.
If you are starting with an “out of the box” switch and are not using the SmartWizard Discovery
utility, you must initially configure your host PC to be on a network segment to match the default
parameters of the switch, which are:
• IP address: 192.168.0.239
• Subne t Mask: 255.255.255.0
You can change the network parameters to match those of your network (this procedure is
described in Chapter 3, “Managing System Settings”). Your host PC network parameters must
then be set to match your network.
Clicking Web Access on the SmartWizard Discovery utility or accessing the switch directly
displays the screen shown below.
.
Use this screen to proceed to management of the switch covered in Chapter 2, “Introduction to the
Web Browser Interface”.
