If you are using static IP addresses in your network, configure the switch IP
address before you connect the switch to a network.
1. Configure a computer with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
2. Plug the switch into a power outlet and connect your computer to the
switch using an Ethernet cable.
3. Open a web browser and enter 192.168.0.239 in the address bar.
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239.

Your settings are saved.
Connect the Switch to a Network
1. Connect devices to the RJ-45 network ports on the switch front panel. For
model MS510TXPP only, you can connect PoE and non-PoE devices.
For 5G and 10G connections, use Cat 6, Cat 6a, or Cat 7 Ethernet cables
terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
2. Connect an RJ-45 port or SFP+ port on the switch to a network that
includes a DHCP server.
Note: In a small oce or home oce network, connect the switch to the
LAN port of a router that, in turn, is connected to an Internet modem.
If you use an SFP+ port, you must insert an SFP+ transceiver module, which
is available from NETGEAR.
