Configuration
The switch is plug and play. To configure the switch, you can use the Web-based Using the Configuration Utility
GUI or the configuration utility.
The utility is only supported on Windows now. 1. Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support and search the model number of your
switch. Download the Easy Smart Configuration Utility from the product
