5/8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch (TL-SG608E is used for example)

Installation

For simplicity, we will take TL-SG608E for example throughout this guide. The images may differ from your actual product.

Connection

Configuration

The switch is plug and play. To configure the switch, you can use the Web-based GUI or the configuration utility. The utility is only supported on Windows now.

Using the Web-based GUI

1. Find out the IP address of the switch.

· By default, the switch receives an IP addess from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can find out this IP address on the DHCP server.
· If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

2. Configure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in the same subnet.

· If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
· If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, configure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

3. Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar and press Enter. Before proceeding with further configuration, you need to set up username and password by following the prompts on the page (if prompted to log in before setting username and password, use admin for both the username and password).

Now you can configure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further information, refer to the User Guide. 
Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch, and you can find this guide on the product Support web page.

Note:

If the switch gets a new IP address from the DHCP server, your connection to the switch will be lost. Enter the new IP address in your browser to access the switch again. 

Using the Configuration Utility

1. Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support and search the model number of your switch. Download the Easy Smart Configuration Utility from the product Support web page on your PC.

2. Decompress the downloaded file, run the installation wizard and follow the prompts to install the Easy Smart Configuration Utility.

3. Double click the Easy Smart Configuration Utility icon on the desktop, and the utility Home page will display a list of TP-Link switches on the local network.

4. Click the Settings icon to find out IP parameters of the switch.

· If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.

· If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, configure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

5. Double click the switch that you want to configure. Before proceeding with further configuration, you need to set up username and password by following the prompts in the configuration utility (if prompted to log in before setting username and password, use admin for both the username and password).

Now you can configure the switch using the configuration utility. For further information, refer to the Easy Smart Configuration Utility User Guide. Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch, and you can find this guide on the product Support web page.
