IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the
switch in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are three
methods to choose from. In each case, your computer must be on the same
network segment as the switch. After you have connected and logged in you
can give the switch its fixed network address. (See Network, page 124.)
The Local Console
The easiest way to assign an IP address is from the local console. Refer to First
Time Setup, page 31, for details on the procedure involved.
IP Installer
For computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with the IP
Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the Download area of our web
site. Look under Driver/SW, and the model of your switch. After downloading
the utility to your computer, do the following:
1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run
IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:
