The switch initializes its configuration for typical industrial EtherNet/IP
applications. The switch then redirects you to the logon page for the
Device Manager Web interface. You can continue to launch the Device
Manager Web interface for further configuration or exit the application.
IP Assignment Mode The IP Assignment mode determines whether the switch IP information is manually assigned (static) or is automatically
assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The default is Static.
We recommend that you click Static and manually assign the IP address for the switch. You can then use the same IP address
whenever you want to access the Device Manager Web interface.
If you click DHCP, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the switch. As long
as the switch is not restarted, the switch continues to use the assigned IP information, and you are able to use the same IP
address to access the Device Manager Web interface.
If you manually assign the switch IP address and your network uses a DHCP server, be sure that the IP address that you give to
the switch is not within the range of addresses that the DHCP server automatically assigns to other devices. This prevents IP
address conflicts between the switch and another device.
IP Address The IP address and associated subnet mask are unique identifiers for the switch in a network:
• The IP address format is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be from
0…255.
• The subnet mask is the network address that identifies the subnetwork (subnet) to which the switch belongs. Subnets are
used to segment the devices in a network into smaller groups. The default is 255.255.255.0.
This field is enabled only if the IP Assignment mode is Static.
Make sure that the IP address that you assign to the switch is not being used by another device in your network. The IP address
and the default gateway cannot be the same.
Default Gateway (optional) The IP address for the default gateway. A gateway is a router or a dedicated network device that enables the switch to
communicate with devices in other networks or subnetworks. The default gateway IP address must be part of the same subnet
as the switch IP address. The switch IP address and the default gateway IP address cannot be the same.
If all of your devices are in the same network and a default gateway is not used, you do not need to enter an IP address in this
field. This field is enabled only if the IP assignment mode is Static.
You must specify a default gateway if your network management station and the switch are in different networks or
subnetworks. Otherwise, the switch and your network management station cannot communicate with each other.
NTP Server The IP address of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between
computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
User Enter the user name.
Password, Confirm Password The password for the switch can have up to 63 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case-sensitive, and can have
embedded spaces. The password cannot be a single digit, it cannot contain a ? or a tab, and it does not allow spaces at the
beginning or the end. The default is switch.
To complete initial setup, change the password from the default password, switch.
This password is also used as the Control Industrial Protocol (CIP) security password. We recommend that you provide a
password to the switch to secure access to the device manager.
Advanced Settings
CIP VLAN The VLAN on which Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is enabled. The CIP VLAN can be the same as the management VLAN or
you can isolate CIP traffic on another VLAN that is already configured on this device.
IP Address The IP address and subnet mask for the CPI VLAN if the CIP VLAN is different from the management VLAN. The format is a 32-bit
numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be from 0…255.
Make sure that the IP address that you assign to this device is not being used by another device in your network.
Same As Management VLAN Indicates whether the settings for the CIP VLAN are the same as the management VLAN.
Telnet, CIP and Enable Password (optional),
Confirm Password
The password used for Telnet and CIP security.
Same As Admin Password Sets the password used for Telnet and CIP security to the same user password specified under Network Settings.
