These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using 
static IP addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before 
connecting it to your network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch will 
default to 192.168.0.239 for its IP address. To configure the switch before 
connecting it to your network:
1.   
Set up the PC with a Static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect 
the PC to the switch. Then, use the Smart Control Center Utility to configure 
the switch.
2.   
Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
Use category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 
RJ-45 connector to make these connections.
3.   
Connect the switch to your network.
4.   
Power on the switch.
