How the software is accessed in the PoE Switch

This section shows how to log in to the switch's configuration web page.

To configure the software in the switch, the correct IP address needs to be set on the computer.

Access to the switch's software is through a browser, (such as: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.).

Follow the steps to access the switch's settings.

Note

The settings shown are settings for PC, (Windows 7 - Windows 11). Windows and names may vary between different versions of Windows. Unfortunately, we cannot provide support for settings of your computer.

Note

IP address of the switch (factory setting): 192.168.2.1

Password (factory setting): admin

Notice

The address of the PoE switch is: 192.168.2.1 and username and password are: admin/admin The IP address in the switch is static (fixed) and therefore the computer's IP address and subnet mask must be static.

  1. Open settings and go to Network and Internet -> Advanced network settings. Open more network card options.

  5. Set the computer's IP address and subnet mask as shown in the figure below. By default, the product's IP address be 192.168.2.1. You can set any IP address as long as it is not the same as your switch's IP address and is in the same network segment as your switch's IP address. Press on OK to apply the TCP/IPv4 settings you just made. Now you can connect to your switch using a web browser (Chrome, Edge or Firefox).

LLDP configuration

Table 4. LLDP configuration.

Letter, number

Explanation

G

LLDP stands for "Link Layer Discovery Protocol", which is a network protocol standard used to discover and communicate information about network devices connected to the same Ethernet network. The protocol allows devices such as switches and routers to send and receive messages containing information about the device's identification, capabilities, and connection topology.

G.1

RX and TX are abbreviations used in electronics, communications, and computer networking to indicate the direction of data flow between devices. RX: The abbreviation "RX" stands for "Receive" or "Reception". It indicates that the device is receiving data or signals from another device. When a device has an RX input, it means that it is designed to receive data or information from a transmitting device. TX: The abbreviation "TX" stands for "Transmit" or "Transmission". It indicates that the device is transmitting data or signals to another device. If a device has a TX output, it means that it is designed to transmit data or information to a receiving device. These abbreviations are especially common when it comes to data communication, such as in the context of network cables where there are specific RX and TX wires that allow for two-way communication between devices.
