Access the Switch Using the ProSAFE Plus Utility
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.
By default, the switch management mode allows management through the ProSAFE Plus
Utility. For more information, see Change the Switch Management Mode on page 45.
Note: You can also access and configure the switch directly using a web
browser. See Access the Switch Using a Web Browser on page 6.
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. Double-click the ProSAFE Plus Utility icon.
The configuration home page displays a list of Web Managed (Plus) Switches that it
discovers on the local network.
Note: To use the ProSAFE Plus Utility, you must 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
