NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility
What Is the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility?
The ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility, also referred to as the ProSAFE Plus Utility (or just
the utility), lets you discover and configure ProSAFE Web Managed (Plus) Series Switches
(visit netgear.com/business/products/switches/web-managed) on your network.
The utility runs on Windows-based computers. You can install the utility to customize and
manage one or more switches for your network. The utility is located on the resource CD that
comes with a switch. You can also visit netgear.com/support/product/PCU to download the
latest version of the utility.
Instead of using the ProSAFE Plus Utility, you can also access and configure a ProSAFE
Web Managed (Plus) Series Switch directly using a web browser and the switch’s web
browser–based management interface. For more information, see the ProSAFE Gigabit Web
Managed (Plus) Switches User Manual or a user manual that is specific to your switch model.
You can download manuals by visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com.
Some switches allow you to turn off the ability to manage them using the ProSAFE Plus
Utility, only allowing them to be managed through the web browser–based management
interface. If you do so, you can still use the ProSAFE Plus Utility to discover the switch in the
network and determine its IP address, but you can only use the web browser–based
management interface to configure and manage the switch. You can reenable the full
capability of the ProSAFE Plus Utility from the web browser–based management interface.
Install the ProSAFE Plus Utility
You can install the ProSAFE Plus Utility on any computer that runs a Windows operating
system (OS) and that is on the same network as the switches that you want to manage. If an
earlier version of the utility is present on your computer, installing a newer version replaces
the older version. Newer versions of the utility are backward compatible and support all
previously released ProSAFE Web Managed (Plus) Series Switches.
Note: The ProSAFE Plus Utility requires Adobe Air. If you want to manage a
model FS116E or model JFS524E switch, the ProSAFE Plus Utility
also requires WinPcap. If Adobe Air and WinPcap are not detected
during ProSAFE Plus Utility installation, you are prompted to allow
them be installed.
