Accessing the Management Configuration Interface
After powering the switch for the first time, the Network Smart Switch can be configured using a
Web browser. To access the switch, the management computer and the switch must be set to the
same subnet. The IP address of the management computer must be configured manually. The
switch's default IP address is 192.168.1.200 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
The Network Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing and monitoring how it works.
This management software is not required for the switch to function. The ports can be used
without the management software. However, the management software enables the setup
of VLAN, Trunking and additional features. The use of these features can also improve the
efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the
performance of the network.

Smart Switch Web Configuration Guide.

1
Gigabit Ethernet Ports: These 16 twisted-pair RJ45 ports support auto-negotiable
10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX cross-over detection functions for true "plug and
play" capability.
Note: Not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
2
Power ON/OFF LED: An LED illuminates to indicate the switch is receiving power.
3
System Status LED: This LED will illuminate solid green when the system is loading and will
blink to indicate the system is ready.
4
Port Status LEDs: Of these 32 LEDs, 16 illuminate orange for 10/100 Mbps LEDs
connection status and blink to indicate activity on each port. When the switch discovers a
1000 Mbps connection, the other 16 LEDs will illuminate green for connection status and
blink to indicate activity on each port.
5
MiniGBIC: The MiniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) ports are connection points for
MiniGBIC modules so the switch can uplink to other switches using optical fiber. When the
MiniGBIC ports are active, the LEDs adjacent to the ports will react to interface traffic.
