• Rack-mount kit for installing the switch in a 19-inch rack
• Installation guide
• Smart Switch Resource CD with Smart Wizard Discovery and User’s manual
• Warranty/Support Information Card
Then, Prepare to Install Your Smart Switch
Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter and a CD ROM drive.
Next, Install the Smartwizard Discovery Utility
on a PC
1. Insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Select the \Software folder or click ‘install’ from Browser auto-executed after inserting
the Resource CD.
3. Run the Setup program to install the Smartwizard Discovery.
4. The Installation Wizard will guide you through.
Next, Connect Your Smart Switch in the Correct
Order
These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using static IP
addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before connecting it to your
network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch will default to 192.168.0.239 for its IP
address. To configure the switch before connecting it to your network, set up the PC with an IP
address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect the PC to the switch. Then, use the
Smartwizard Discovery utility as illustrated below to configure the switch.
1. Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel. Use category 5
(Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make
these connections.
2. Connect the smart switch to your network.
3. Power on the switch.
4. Verify that the PC with the SmartWizard Discovery utility is on the same subnet as the
switch.
Now, Configure the Switch with the Smart-
Wizard
1. Run SmartWizard from the Windows Start menu Programs
.
2. Click Discover to find your switch in the network.
3. The SmartWizard Discovery utility finds the switch and displays its MAC Address, IP
Address, and model number. If you cannot configure your switch, verify that the cable
connections are secure, that the IP address configuration of the PC is in the same subnet as
the switch, and click the Discover button.
