ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed Switch
Configure the Switch
ProSAFE Web Managed Switches are Plug-and-Play, so they can be used without any
configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other devices, and
you’re done. You can also configure and manage additional advanced features of the switch
either by using your computer’s web browser or by installing the ProSAFE Plus Utility on your
Windows-based computer.

either by using your computer’s web browser or by installing the ProSAFE Plus Utility on your
Windows-based computer.
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or
DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that
is connected to the same network as the switch (on-network). However, it is also possible to
configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are using to configure it,
and not connected to the network (off-network). See the following sections for details about
the different options for configuring your switch.

Access the Switch Using a Web Browser
You can access and configure the switch directly through its web-based management
interface by entering the switch’s IP address in the address bar of a browser. When using
web browser setup, the simplest way to configure the switch is not connected to your network
(off-network). You can also configure the switch with it connected to your network, router, or
modem, (on-network), but you must be able to determine the IP address of the switch if your
network uses DHCP.
