To make use of the management features of your Tiger Switch, you must 
first configure it with an IP address that is compatible with the network it 
is being installed in. For simplicity, this should be done before you 
permanently install the switch in the network.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Place your Tiger Switch close to the PC that you will use to configure 
it. It will help if you can see the front panel of the switch while 
working on your PC.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel 
of your Tiger Switch. Connect power to the switch and verify that you 
have a link by checking the front-panel LEDs. (See the Hardware 
Description on page 2 for more information on the LEDs.)
3. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet 
mask is 255.255.255.0. If your PC has a different IP address from the 
switch but is on the same subnet (i.e. the PC and switch both have 
addresses that start 192.168.2.x ) you can skip directly to step 4. 
Otherwise, you must set your PC’s IP address manually. If you are 
unfamiliar with this process, see “Changing a PC’s IP Address” on 
page 7.
4. Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.2.10. If 
your PC is properly configured, you will see the login page of your 
Tiger Switch. If you do not see the login page, please check your IP 
address and repeat step 3.
5. Enter the default password "smcadmin" and click on the Login 
button.
