The following information applies when configuring a Netgear ProSafe Smart Switch XS712T for the first time and includes enabling jumbo packets.

## Initial setup

> ⚠️ **Note**  
> ⚠️ Before attempting to run the **Smart Control Center Utility**, ensure you have the required Admin rights.


    **To start using your Smart Switch for the first time:**


1. Install the **Smart Control Center Utility** on a computer with a network card. (This also installs Adobe Air.)
2. Configure a network adapter on the PC to be on the `192.168.0.x` subnet.
3. Start the **Smart Control Center Utility**.
4. Switch to the **Adapter** tab and make sure the network adapter you just configured is the one selected. If not select it and apply your change.  
The application restarts.
  :check_mark:** Tip**: If the application doesn't restart and always defaults back to the same adapter, reconfigure that adapter as you did in **Step 2**.
  On the **Network** tab your new Smart Switch is displayed in the **Device List**.
5. Select the Smart Switch and click the **Web Browser Access** button.

## Configure the switch


    **To configure the switch:**


1. Log in to the switch via a browser (using either the Smart Control Center Utility or navigating to the default URL of the switch[http://192.168.0.239/](http://192.168.0.239/)), using the default password `password`.
2. On the **System Information** page, if required, set the **System Name**, **System Location** and **System Contact** fields.
3. On the **IP Configuration** page:
  1. Set the **Current Network Configuration Protocol** to **Static IP Address.**
  2. Change the **IP Address** to `192.168.10.239` and click **Apply**.
    :info: **Note**: Web Browser Access only works when the PC connecting is on the same subnet (`192.168.10.x`) so this step will disconnect you.
4. Log in to the switch at its new address ([http://192.168.10.239](http://192.168.10.239)).
5. Click the **Switching** tab.
6. On the **Port Configuration** page, select all ports, set the **Maximum Frame Size** to **9216** and click **Apply**.
