8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch

Conguration

The switch is plug and play. To congure the switch, you can use the

Web-based GUI or the conguration utility.

The utility is only supported on Windows now.

Using the Conguration Utility

1. Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support and search the model number of

your switch. Download the Easy Smart Conguration Utility from the

product Support web page on your PC.

Using the Web-based GUI

Note: If the switch gets a new IP address from the DHCP server, your

connection to the switch will be lost. Enter the new IP address in your

browser to access the switch again.

1. Find out the IP address of the switch.

By default, the switch receives an IP addess from a DHCP server (or a

router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can nd

out this IP address on the DHCP server.

If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses

the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

2. Congure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in

the same subnet.

If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC

to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.

If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, congure your PC’s IP

address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as

255.255.255.0.

Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in

the address bar and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name

and password.

Now you can congure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further

information, refer to the User Guide.

Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your

switch, and you can nd this guide on the product Support web page.

Now you can congure the switch using the conguration utility. For further

information, refer to the Easy Smart Conguration Utility User Guide.

Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your

switch, and you can nd this guide on the product Support web page.

Double click the icon on the desktop, and the

utility Home page will display a list of TP-Link

switches on the local network.

2. Decompress the downloaded le, run the

installation wizard and follow the prompts to

install the Easy Smart Conguration Utility.

If the switch uses an IP address assigned by

a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP

address automatically from the DHCP

server.

If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP

address, congure your PC’s IP address as

192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and

subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

Click to nd out IP parameters of the switch.

Double click the switch that you want to congure. Log in with admin as

both user name and password.
