Connecting the Switch to a Network. EnGenius EGS5110P, EGS2110P, EGS2108P

Connecting the Switch to a Network

Discovery in a Network with a DHCP Server

Use this procedure to setup the Switch within a network that uses DHCP.

5. Open a web browser on your computer. In the address

bar of the web browser, enter 192.168.0.239 and click

Enter.

1. Connect the supplied Power Adapter (cord) to the Switch

and plug the other end into an electrical outlet. Turn the

Power Switch on the back of the device to the ON

Position (for EGS2108P and EGS2110P). Verify the

Power LED indicator is lit on the Switch.

6. A login screen will appear. By default, the password is

password. Enter the current password of the Switch

and then click Login.

7. Once logged in, click IP Setting under and select DHCP.

2. Wait for the Switch to complete boot up. It might take

a minute for the Switch to complete boot up.

8. Click Apply to save the settings.

9. Connect the Switch to your network (DHCP enabled).

3. Connect one end of a Category 5/6 Ethernet cable into

the Gigabit (10/100/1000) Ethernet port on the switch

front panel and the other end to Ethernet port on the

computer. Verify that the LED on Ethernet ports of the

switch are green.

10. On the DHCP server, find and write down the IP address

allocated to the device. Use this IP address to access

the management interface.

4. Once your computer is on, ensure that your TCP/IP is set

to On or Enabled. Open Network Connections and then

click Local Area Connecton. Select Internet Protocol

Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). If your computer is already on a

network, ensure that you have set it to a Static IP Address

on the Interface (Example: 192.168.0.10 and the Subnet

Mask address as 255.255.255.0).

Discovery on a Network without a DHCP Server

This section describes how to set up an EnGenius Gigabit

PoE or PoE+ Smart Switch in a network without a DHCP server. If your network has no DHCP service, you must assign a static IP address to your Switch in order to log in to the web-based switch management.

4. Once your computer is on, ensure that your TCP/IP is set

to On or Enabled. Open Network Connections and then

click Local Area Connecton. Select Internet Protocol

Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).

1. Connect the supplied Power Adapter (cord) to the

Switch and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

Turn the Power Switch on the back of the device to

the ON Position (for EGS2108P and EGS2110P). Verify

the Power LED indicator is lit on the Switch.

5. If your computer is already on a network, ensure that

you have set it to a Static IP Address on the Interface

(Example: 192.168.0.10 and the Subnet Mask address

as 255.255.255.0).

6. Open a web browser on your computer. In the address

bar of the web browser, enter 192.168.0.239 and click

Enter.

2. Wait for the Switch to complete boot up. It might take

a minute or so for the Switch to complete boot up.

3. Connect one end of a Category 5/6 Ethernet cable into

password. Enter the current password of the Switch

and then click Login.

8. Once logged in, click IP Setting under the System

Setting and select Static IP to configure the IP settings

of the management interface.

If your Computer is already on a network, ensure that you have set it to a Static IP Address on the interface

(Example: 192.168.0.10 and the Subnet Mask address as

255.255.255.0.).

9. Enter the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway

10. Click Apply to update the system.
