Access the ProSAFE Plus Utility and Your Switch
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or
DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use the computer on
which the ProSAFE Plus Utility is installed and that is connected to the same network as the
switch.
The ProSAFE Plus Utility automatically discovers any ProSAFE Web Managed (Plus)
switches in your network.
To configure the switch using the ProSAFE Plus Utility:
1. Cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that manages IP address.
2. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
3. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection. The computer and the switch must be on the
same layer 2 network.
4. Launch the ProSAFE Plus Utility using the desktop icon or tile.
