Use the NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Utility to
Access the Switch
The NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Utility runs on Windows-based computers and lets you
customize and manage the switch for your network. 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 a computer that is connected to the same
network as the switch.
Note: The ProSAFE Plus Utility requires WinPcap and Adobe Air. If WinPcap and Adobe
Air are not detected during the ProSAFE Plus Utility installation, you are prompted to
allow them to be installed.
To install the ProSAFE Plus Utility and access and configure the switch:
1. Download the ProSAFE Plus Utility by visiting netgear.com/support/product/PCU.
You must use ProSAFE Plus Utility version 2.5.3 or a later version.
2.
Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these
on the computer that you use to configure the switch.
Note: Instead of disabling security services, you can also configure your computer’s
security software to allow broadcast UDP packets to go through UDP remote and
source (local and destination) ports 63321 through 63324. To allow this traffic, you
can create a rule in your computer’s security software.
3.
Unzip the ProSAFE Plus Utility files, double-click the .exe file (for example, ProSAFE
Plus Utility 2.5.3.exe), and install the program on your computer.
The installation process places a ProSAFE Plus Utility icon on your desktop.
4.
If you temporarily disabled any security services, reenable those services.
Note: We recommend that you restart your computer after installing the ProSAFE
Plus Utility.
5. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
6. 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.
