IDS-509CPP Hardware Installation Guide
Booting the Switch
When first applying power to the IDS switch, it will startup and go through the boot pro-
cess. The LEDs will behave according to the table below.
Fast Setup Mode
This allows you to perform initial configuration of the switch using your Web browser.
Fast Setup Mode can be activated when the switch is in Factory Default. When started up
in this mode, the switch assigns itself an IP address and also assigns an IP address to the
connected PC. This makes it possible to initiate a Web session and the use of the Fast
Setup configurator. Switches are shipped in Factory default mode. Refer to the Quick Start
Guide that came with the switch for instructions on how to connect to the switch for the
first time.
Password Recovery
When the switch is not in factory default, the "Fast Setup Mode" sequence will activate
Password recovery.
Note
: The password recovery feature can be disabled in the software.
