To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
1. Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu.
2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.
3. If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the Default
Gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address
(0.0.0.0) in this field.
4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN
contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you will need to
enter the VLAN Name of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the
Switch. The Switch will allow management access from stations in the same VLAN.
