If the Link LED does not go on when the network cable is connected to the port, see “Diagnosing With the LEDs” in chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”. To disconnect: Press the small tab on the plug and pull the plug out of the jack. RJ-45 connector 100-ohm unshielded or shielded twisted- pair cable: • Category 3, 4, or 5 for 10 Mbps ports • Category 5 only for 100 Mbps ports • Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000 Mbps ports Maximum distance: 100 meters Configuring the Switch Initial Configuration The ProCurve Switch 1800-8G can be managed through a Web- browser interface that you can access from any PC or workstation in the connected network. For initial configuration, you may want to assign an IP address to the switch that is compatible with your existing network. However, you first need to access the Web interface using the switch’s default IP address. The following procedure shows how to access the Web interface and change the switch’s IP address: 1. Place the switch close to the PC that you will use for configuration. It helps if you can see the front panel of the switch while working on your PC. 2. Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel of your switch, start your PC (if it is not already running), connect power to the switch and when your PC has finished its start-up sequence, verify that you have a link by checking the LEDs on the front-panel of the switch (see “LEDs” on page 1-2 for more information). 3. Set your PC’s IP address to be on the same subnet as the switch. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, so the PC and switch are on the same subnet when they both have addresses that start 192.168.2.x. If the PC and switch are already on the same subnet, proceed directly to step 4. Otherwise, you must manually set the PC’s IP Configuring the Switch Changing PC’s IP Address address to 192.168.2.x (where "x" can be any number from 1 to 255, except 10). If you are unfamiliar with this process, see “Changing PC’s IP Address” on page 3-2. 4. Open your Web browser and enter the address If your PC is properly configured, you will see the login page of your switch. If you do not see the login page, check your settings and repeat step 3. 5. There is no default password, just click the Login button to access the Web management interface. 6. From the menu, click SYSTEM, then IP Address. On the IP Address page, enter the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address for the switch, then click on the APPLY button. No other configuration changes are required at this stage, but it is recommended that you configure an administrator password before logging out. From the menu, click SYSTEM, then Password. On the Password page, fill in all the fields before clicking on the APPLY button. No t e If you cannot remember the switch's IP address or password, you can restore the factory default settings by following the procedure described in the "Troubleshooting" section. Changing PC’s IP Address To change the IP address of your PC: 1. On Windows® XP, go to Start, Settings, Network and Dial-up Connections. 2. Right-click the connection icon of which the IP address you want to change, and then click properties. Configuring the Switch Where to Go From Here 3. In General tab, under Components checked are used by this connection, click to select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties to open Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box. 4. In Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click to select Use the following IP address. 5. In IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway, type your intended information. 6. Click OK to save the changes and quit.
