IP
The IP address of the switch is set to 192.168.0.4 (or 192.168.0.3 for the AMS-1208P) by default. The IP address can also be
obtained via the DHCP server for VLAN 1. To manually configure a custom IP address, you can change the switch default
settings to values that are compatible with your network. We also recommend configuring DNS servers and a Default
Gateway, allowing the switch to obtain time and date information.
To configure switch IP settings, select Configuration > Quick Setup > System > IP from the navigation menu.
