NETGEAR GS908E User Manual

Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the
Switch
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server
that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that is connected to the same
network as the switch.
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool lets you discover the switch in your network and access the local
browser interface of the switch from a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer.
To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network, and
access the local browser interface of the switch:
1. Download the Switch Discovery Tool by visiting netgear.com/support/product/gs908e.aspx#download.
Depending on the computer that you are using, download either the Mac version or the version for a
64-bit Windows-based computer.
2. Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these on the computer
that you use to configure the switch.
3. Unzip the Switch Discovery Tool files, double-click the Setup.exe file (for example,
NetgearSDT-V1.1.115_Win_x64_Setup.exe), and install the program on your computer.
The installation process places a NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool icon on your desktop.
4. Reenable the security services on your computer.
5. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
6. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection. The computer and the switch must be on the same Layer 2
network.
7. Open the Switch Discovery Tool.
To open the program, double-click the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool icon on your desktop.
The initial page displays a menu and a button.
8. From the Choose a connection menu, select the network connection that allows the Switch Discovery
Tool to access the switch.
9. Click the Start Searching button.
The Switch Discovery Tool displays a list of Smart Managed Plus Switches that it discovers on the
selected network.
For each switch, the tool displays the IP address.
10. To access the local browser interface of the switch, click the ADMIN PAGE button.
