The switch will attempt to acquire an IP address if there is a DHCP server in the network. If the switch cannot
acquire an IP address through DHCP, it uses the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, with a subnet mask
of /24.
●
If the switch is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254/24, you must choose an IP address for the
computer in the range of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.

Preparing Your Switch
Using the Mobile app: Connect the switch to an existing wireless network. This could be a wireless access point
(shown above), wireless router, or mesh extender. You will need something to act as your DHCP server (a router or
switch as shown above). Once connected, proceed to the “Get Congured” section to download the app.
Using the Web User Interface (UI): Connect a computer via Ethernet cable to one of the switch ports. Make sure your
computer is on and proceed to Web UI Setup instructions under the “Get Congured” section.
