and it makes the initial set up of multiple switches easy.
Please refer to the following installation instructions to
get started with the Web UI, DNA, console port, Telnet,
and SNMP management interfaces.
1. Web User Interface (depending
on the purchased model)
Once the switch has been successfully installed, you can
begin configuration, monitor the LED panel, and display
graphical statistics using a web browser. Supported
browsers include: Microsoft
7.0 and higher, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
You need the following equipment to access the Web UI
of your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
• A standard Ethernet cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in
switch's front panel and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.
2. Configure the PC's IP address to be in the network
segment as the switch. The switch's default IP
address is 10.90.90.90, with subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
For example, to connect to the switch using the default
settings, your PC should have an IP address in the
range: 10.0-255.0-255.0-254 and a subnet mask of
255.0.0.0.
3. Open the web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90/
in the address box.
Note: The Web UI can also be accessed through
DNA, by clicking IP in the device list.
4. Log in to the switch. The device's Web UI user
authentication window will be different depending on
the switch model. For Smart Managed switches, enter
the password 'admin'. Press OK to enter the main
configuration window. For Managed Switches, leave
both the user name field and the password field blank
and click OK.
5. Optional Step (for Smart Managed switches only).
Before entering the Web UI, the Smart Wizard will
guide you through configuring some functions, such
as password settings, SNMP settings, and system
settings. If you do not wish to change anything, click
Exit to exit the Wizard and enter the Web UI. For a
detailed look at the Smart Wizard's functions, please
refer to the Smart Wizard introduction in the user
manual.

2. D-Link Network Assistant (depending
on the purchased model)
D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) is a program that is
used to discover switches which are in the same Layer
2 network segment as your PC. Please refer to the
following steps to get started with DNA.
1. Go to http://tools.dlink.com/intro/dna/
2. Select "Free Download" button to open DNA download
page for download
Note: for Managed Switch, users need to enable D-Link
Discovery Protocol (DDP) and create a user name and
password to be able to log in to DNA.
3. Console (depending on
the purchased model)
To connect to the switch's console, use the supplied
cable to connect to the switch's console port. This
cable is a RS-232 serial to RJ-45 connector cable
designed for use with the switch. A terminal emulation
program is required to connect to the console port on
the switch. These are widely available and can be easily
downloaded from the Internet.
Using following steps to connect to switch's console port:
1. Connect the RS-232 serial interface to the serial port
of the management PC.
2. Connect the RJ-45 interface to the console port of the
switch.
3. Open a terminal emulation program on the
management PC and configure the properties of the
connection as follows:
• The speed (baud) can be 9600 or 115200 bps
(depending on the purchased model).
• The data bits should be 8.
• The parity should be None.
• The stop bits should be 1.
• The flow control should be None.
4. Connect to the switch and the Command Line
Interface (CLI) should be available.
4. Telnet (depending on the
purchased model)
To connect to the switch using Telnet, a Telnet client
is required. This may be included with your operating
system, or can be easily downloaded from the Internet.
For example, in recent versions of Microsoft
the Telnet client has been removed from the software
installed by the operating system. It can be activated by
using the 'Turn Windows features on or off' menu in
the Programs and Features tool in the Control Panel.
Before connecting to the switch, ensure that your PC has
an IP address in the same range as the switch. Follow
the instructions in the Web User Interface section for
more information on how to do this.
