When installing the MCU ensure that there is an IP port available
on the switch.
You only need to connect the MCU to the switch via one of the
Ethernet ports.

THE
MCU
At power-up, the MCU goes through a boot phase in which the
embedded operating system initializes and displays basic
information.
The
first
time you install the MCU, you assign an IP address to
the MCU using a terminal cable connection to access the boot
configuration menu.
Note
You can perform serial port configuration of the MCU only
at startup, if you choose to enter the configuration menu—within
a minute—when indicated.
Once the boot phase is complete, the only way you can access
the configuration menu is by restarting the MCU.
You use the serial port on the MCU front panel to assign a new IP
address to your MCU. You must assign the IP address before you
connect the MCU to the network.
Before You Begin
Gather these items to assign an IP address to the MCU:
Dedicated IP address for the MCU
Dedicated subnet mask for the MCU
IP address of the default router the MCU uses to
communicate over the network
