Then, Prepare to Install Your Smart 
Switch
1.  
Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter and a CD ROM drive.

Next, Install the Smart Wizard 
Discovery Utility on a PC
1.  
Insert the resource CD into your CD drive.
2.  Run the Setup program to install the Smart Wizard Discovery.
3.  The Installation Wizard will guide you through.

Next, Connect Your Smart Switch in the 
Correct Order
These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using static IP 
addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before connecting it to your 
network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch defaults to 192.168.0.239 for its IP 
address. 

To configure the switch before connecting it to your network, set up the PC with an IP 
address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect the PC to the switch. Then, use the Smart 
Wizard Discovery utility as illustrated below to configure the switch.
1.  Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel. 

Use category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 
connector to connect.

2.  Connect the smart switch to your network.
3.  Power on the switch.
4.  Verify that the PC with the Smart Wizard Discovery utility is on the same subnet as 

the switch.

Now, Configure the Switch with the 
Smart Wizard
1.  
Click Start > Programs and run Smart Wizard

2.  Click Discover to find your switch in the network.

3.  The Smart Wizard Discovery utility finds the switch and displays its MAC Address, 

IP Address, and model number. If you cannot configure your switch, verify that the 
cable connections are secure, that the IP address configuration of the PC is in the 
same subnet as the switch.
