B.2. Accessing the Web Page
Web Browser is a useful tool to configure the managed PoE switch. When you have
problems in accessing the default IP address http://192.168.1.1 of web page, one of the
most possibilities is that the PC might have different subnet IP settings from 192.168.1.x. In
this case, you must change PC IP address to the same subnet as the web page, and
configure your PC address to the same subnet as the web management.
Setup your computer for Web management
The Concept of Subnet
In the TCP/IP environment, network devices must be on the same subnet in order to
connect to each other. This means that your computer must set to the same subnet and
subnet mask as the switch in order to configure the switch through PC web browser.
To find out the IP address information for your computer, please run Command Line
window in WinNT/2000/XP, and enter “ipconfig”. (or enter “winipcfg” in Win9x).
For example, if one IP address is 192.168.1.1, the other IP address must be 192.168.1.x
(x can be any number between 2 and 254) to be in the same Class C subnet.
For the same subnet mask, usually 255.255.255.0 is used for all Class C subnet.
Configure you computer’s IP address
Before accessing the switch through web browser, please follow the instruction below to
configure your computer’s IP to the same subnet as the switch. If the PoE switch IP
address is at defaut
, it should have the following factory default value:
Default IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To set your computer IP address in the same subnet as the switch, please follow the steps
to change the computer IP address:
