6 300 Series Managed Switches
S TEP 3 Set up the IP configuration on your computer.
a. If the switch is using the default static IP address of
192.168.1.254, you must chose an IP address in the range of
192.168.1.1-192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.
b. If the IP addresses will be assigned by DHCP, make sure your
DHCP server is running and can be reached from the switch
and the computer. You may need to disconnect and reconnect
the devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from
the DHCP server.
N OTE Details on how to change the IP address on your computer
depend upon the type of architecture and operating system you are
using. Use your computers local Help and Support functionality and
search for “IP Addressing”.

Active-X plug-in when connecting to the device, follow the
prompts to accept the plug-in.
S TEP 5 Enter the switch IP address in the address bar and press Enter. For
example, http://192.168.1.254.
