How to run TP-Link Easy Smart Configuration Utility in any OS with Java
Pre-requisites:
* Windows machine to "extract" the java JAR file
* Easy Smart Configuration Utility v1.0.2.16.exe (or up)
* Java JRE 7 with a graphical UI
* One (or more) TP-Link Easy Smart Switches:
- TL-SG108E
- TL-SG1016DE
- TL-SG1024DE
Instructions:
1) Extracting the JAR file: Execute the install in a Windows machine. After the installation the JAR file is on directory "\TP-LINK\Easy Smart Configuration Utility\" with the name "Easy Smart Configuration Utility.exe" (forget EXE extension, is a mixed file with binary header and a JAR container). Copy JAR file to your destination machine. You can uninstall the tool in the windows machine if you like.
2) Execute the tool using this command: java -Xmx300m -jar "./Easy Smart Configuration Utility.exe". If you like to use the 64bit java runtime add "-d64"; and if you have sufficient RAM increase heap memory using "-Xmx500m"
Tested by me!Hi,
I have checked your howto, It works, but ...
On linux, the utility doesn't discover any switch.
I've done some network captures and strace and I found out why.
On linux, to receive broadcast udp packet, the application must bind INADDR_ANY, the TP utility bind the nic IP addr.
To allow discovery works, you must use a nat rule :
iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -p udp -d 255.255.255.255 --dport 29809 -j DNAT --to <@IP your host>:29809
It would be nice if you add this information in your howto ...
