Web UI may be the best option. Each switch must
be assigned its own IP address, which is used for
communication with the management PC. However,
if you wish to manage multiple D-Link switches, DNA
may be the best option. You do not need to change
the IP address of your PC 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.
Web User Interface
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® Internet
Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
You need the following equipment to access the
Web UI of your device:
•
A PC with an RJ-45 Ethernet connection
•
A standard Ethernet cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports
on the switch's front panel and to the Ethernet
port on the PC.
2. Configure the PC's IP address to be in the same
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 a 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 the switch's
IP in the device list.
4. Log in to the switch. To do this, enter admin as
the default user name and password and click
OK.
D-Link Network Assistant (depend-
ing 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. You can
download the DNA APP from http://tools.dlink.com/
intro/dna/.

1. Select "Free Download" button to download the
DNA APP
2. Click 'ADD TO CHROME' button on the right hand
side of the search results.
3. Click 'Add app' button in the pop up window to
install the D-Link Network Assistant in Chrome.
4. When the installation process completes:
(Option 1) Click the 'LAUNCH APP' button in the
upper-right corner of the window to start DNA.
(Option 2) Click the 'Apps' icon in the upper-left
corner of the Chrome browser and click 'DNA' in
the Apps list to start DNA.
Note: for managed switches, users need to
enable D-Link Discovery Protocol (DDP) and
create a user name and password to be able to
log in to DNA.
Console
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 should be 115200 baud.
•
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. When
