11. Insert the power adapter

into the DC power socket in the

front of the switch.

12. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source.

13

13. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to confirm that the PWR LED is green. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.

The BES50 series switch performs a short self-test as soon as you connect the switch to the power supply. The status LED will flash green during the self-test, then solid green when finished. If the Status LED turns off, the device is not working correctly. When the self-test finishes, the BES50 starts switching data.
