3Running Express Setup

When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the switch through the IP address for further configuration.

To run Express Setup:

Step 1 Verify that no devices are connected to the switch, because during Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, before you begin you should change your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP.

Step 2 Connect the AC power cord to the switch and to a grounded AC outlet. The power-on self-test (POST) begins. During POST, the LEDs blink while a series of tests verify that the switch functions properly.

For a DC-powered switch, see the “Connecting to DC Power” section on page 16 for wiring instructions.

Step 3 Wait for the switch to complete POST. It might take several minutes for the switch to complete POST.

Step 4

Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST and STAT LEDs are green.
