Completing the Installation
4.Verify that a link exists by checking that the port Link/Activity LED is on (blinking green or solid green). If the Link/Activity LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on:
a.Verify that the device at the other end of the segment is ON and connected to the segment.
b.If there are separate fiber‐optic connections on the other device, check the crossover of the cables. Swap the cable connections if necessary.
c.Check that the fiber‐optic connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide for multimode mode cabling. To obtain this document, refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi.
d.If a link has not been established, refer to Chapter 4 for LED troubleshooting details. If a problem persists, refer to refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐7 for details on contacting Enterasys Networks for support.
5.Repeat steps 1 through 4, above, until all connections have been made.
Completing the Installation
After installing the switch and making the connections to the network, access the switch management, as described below.
Initial Logon to Switch Management
To initially access switch management from your local PC, terminal, or modem connection, proceed as follows at the displayed startup screen:
1.Enter rw (Read‐Write) or admin (superuser) for Username.
2.At the Password prompt, press Enter (RETURN).
3.For details on how to configure the switch using the command line interface, refer to the SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you to set a new password and perform more involved management configurations on the switch. One of many capabilities is to reconfigure the stack, reassigning the Manager function to another switch and configuring the order of Member switches that will take over the stack management functions in case the operating Manager is powered down, malfunctions, or is removed from the stack.
4.After the initial configuration, you can also use WebView (Enterasys Networks’ embedded web server) for configuration and management tasks.
All the guides associated with the switch are available online at:

Once you are confident that the installation is successful, route and secure your cables. If you require assistance, contact Enterasys Networks using one of the methods described in “Getting Help” on page 1‐7.
