Access and Configure the Switch Using the ProSAFE Plus
Utility
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.
Note: You can also access and configure the switch directly using a web browser. See
Access the Switch Using a Web Browser on page 16.
To access and configure the switch using the ProSAFE Plus Utility:
1. Cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that manages IP
addresses.
2. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
3. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection. The computer and the switch must be on
the same Layer 2 network.
