Applying Power to the Power Converter

Move the circuit breaker for the AC outlet or the DC control circuit to the on position.
The LED on the power converter front panel is green when the unit is operating normally. The LED is
off when the unit is not powered or is not operating normally. After the power is conne cted, the switch
automatically begins the power-on self- test (POST), a series of tests that verifies that the switch
functions properly. For instructions on how to interpret POST results, see the “Verify POST Results”
section on page 2-22.

If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configurati on. You can use
any of these management options to change the default configuration:
• Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone
switches. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers qu ick configuration and monitoring. You
can access the device manager from anywhere in your network throug h a web browser. For more
information, see the switch getting started guide and the device manager online help.
• Start the Cisco Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco
Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an
individual switch.
• Use the CLI to configure the switch as an individual switch from the console. See the switch
command reference on Cisco.com for information about using the CLI.
• Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.
• Start the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) management tool. You can manage an entire industrial
automation system with the CIP-based tools.
