Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide

Accessing the Web Quick Start

To access the Web Quick Start:
1Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher Ethernet cable to connect the switch directly to a PC that has a web
browser.
2Connect the switch to an AC power source.
If the green power LED is lit, the switch is receiving power.
3Enable the PC’s NIC that is connected to the switch, if not already enabled.
4Verify 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.
5Use 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. 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.)
