Access the Switch
Smart Managed Plus switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used without any
conguration. You can also congure and manage additional advanced features
of the switch either by using your computer’s web browser or by installing the
ProSAFE Plus Conguration Utility on your Windows-based computer.
Web Browser Access
You can congure a switch when it is connected only to your computer
(off-network), or connected to your computer and your network (on-network).
To use your web browser to congure your switch:
1. If you are conguring the switch off-network, record your computer’s
TCP/IP conguration settings, and then congure the computer with a static
IP address of 192.168.0.210 and with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
If you are unsure how to do this, visit netgear.com/support and search for
Static IP address on computer.
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch.
If the switch is off-network or connected to a network with no DHCP server
(such as a router), use the switch’s default IP address, http://192.168.0.239. If
the switch is connected to a network with a DHCP server, use the IP address
that the DHCP server assigned to the switch.
If you are unsure how to determine the IP address of the switch, you can use
the NETGEAR Insight mobile app, ProSAFE Plus Utility, or NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool.
3. Enter the password.
The default password is password.
4. Click the Login button.
You can now congure additional options for the switch in the local browser
interface.
5. When you nish conguring an off-network switch, return your computer to
its original TCP/IP settings and connect the switch to your network using an
Ethernet cable.
