WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch

Start Here

Please refer to the WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration

Manual for instructions on advanced configuration options. The CD provides a link to this

manual, or you can download it from http://www.netgear.com/support.

Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes.

First, Perform the Intial Setup

Caution: Do not connect the WFS709TP Smart Wireless Switch to your network before

you run the initial setup for these reasons:

• The switch boots up with a default IP address which could interfere with your

network.

• The DHCP server on the switch is first enabled and then disabled after setup is

complete. If you connect the switch to your network before completing the initial

setup, the DHCP server is active on your network.

1. Connect the WFS709TP Smart Wireless Switch to your computer.

a. Unpack the box and verify the contents.

b. Prepare a PC with an Ethernet

adapter. If this PC is already part

of your network, record its TCP/IP

configuration settings. Configure

the PC with a static IP address of

192.168.0.200.

c. Connect an Ethernet cable to the

PC (point A in the illustration).

d. Securely insert the other end of the cable into one of the Fast Ethernet Ports on

the WFS709TP (point B in the illustration).

e. Connect the power cord for the WFS709TP.

f. Turn on your computer, open a Web browser, and connect to: http://

192.168.0.250.

2. Enter the following information:

• System name—a user-defined name for the switch (up to 64 characters).

• VLAN 1 IP address & subnetwork mask—the IP address that the switch will use

to communicate with other switches and with access points.

• Default gateway—default gateway on the switch’s planned subnetwork (default

gateway and VLAN 1 IP address must be in the same network).

• Role—enter one of these roles for the switch:

• Master (if this will be the only switch on the network)

• Local (if this will be managed by a master switch)

• Country code—two-letter code for the country in which the switch will operate

from the dropdown menu. (This determines the 802.11 wireless transmission

spectrum. You are responsible for assigning the correct country code and for

changing it if the switch is moved to another country. Improper country code

assignment can disrupt wireless transmissions. Most countries impose penalties

and sanctions for operators of wireless networks with devices set to improper

country codes.)

• Master switch IP (if the switch is local)—enter the IP address of this switch’s

master switch.

• Admin user password—for login into the switch (up to 32 characters). You must

enter this password in order to further configure the switch; there is no factory

provided password.

• Date and time—time, date, and time zone (if you are going to use an NTP server,

later on the switch will pick up the date and time from this server).

3. Click Save & Reboot.

The switch will reboot (can take up to 2 minutes). After reboot you will probably not

have network connectivity on your PC. Reconfigure your PC to match the settings

you just configured for the switch and then proceed to the access point configuration.

Note: Later, if needed, you can reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its

original TCP/IP settings.

Access Points Compatible with this Switch

The WAGL102 or WGL102 Light Wireless Access Points work only in conjunction with

the WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch. In order to complete access point

installation, the WFS709TP Smart Wireless Switch should be already configured and

available on your network.

For instructions on advanced configuration options for WAGL102 or WGL102 Light

Wireless Access Points, please refer to the WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch

Software Administration Manual, which can be downloaded from

http://www.netgear.com/support.

Several other NETGEAR access point products can be repurposed to work with the

WFS709TP. Refer to the NETGEAR support site for a list of which NETGEAR access

points can be repurposed, and for instructions on how to do so.

Caution: Once you upload the firmware that enables you to repurpose a NETGEAR

access point, you cannot revert back to the old firmware and will no longer be able to use

this product as a stand-alone access point.

Configure the Switch for the Access Points

1. Connect the WFS709TP Smart Wireless Switch to your PC using an Ethernet cable to

one of the Fast Ethernet Ports (see diagram in previous step 1).

2. In the Web browser of your PC:

a. Enter the IP address of your master switch (see previous step 2).
