Get Connected
Plug the power cord of the switch into an outlet.
Preparing Your Switch
Using the Mobile app: Connect the switch to an existing wireless network. This could be a wireless access point
(shown above), wireless router, or mesh extender. You will need something to act as your DHCP server (a router or
switch as shown above). Once connected, proceed to the "Get Configured" section to download the app.
Using the Web User Interface (UI): Connect a computer via Ethernet cable to one of the switch ports. Make sure your
computer is on and proceed to Web UI Setup instructions under the "Get Configured" section.
