Hi mairo,

Welcome to the community! :)

Kindly try these steps below:

a. Disconnect the the GS108Ev2 from the existing network.

b. Reset the GS108Ev2 back to factory default settings.

c. Connect a PC directly to any LAN port of the GS108Ev2. Make the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility v2.3.5 is installed on the PC.

d. Set a static IP address that is within the range of the default IP address of the GS108Ev2 which is 192.168.0.239. You may double-check it by opening command prompt on the PC then check if you will get replies if you ping the default IP address of the GS108Ev2.

e. Open the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility v2.3.5 then check if it discovers the GS108Ev2.

f. Check if you will be able to manage the GS108Ev2 just fine using the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility v2.3.5 while the PC is still directly connected to it.

Are you still getting the same error message after doing the steps above?
