Powering up and connecting cables to the switch
1. Connect the power cord to the switch and then to the
power source. The power and status LEDs display
amber then green. This can take from one to 3 minutes.
2. Install an Ethernet hub.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the LAN
through the Ethernet hub.
4. Attach a serial cable from the switch to the setup
computer.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet hub to
the setup computer.
6. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet hub to the
LAN/WAN.
7. Set the connections in the wizard. Choose one of the
following options: Ethernet connection to the LAN (on
the same subnet as the switch) or connect directly to the
switch with a serial cable. Click
Next
.
In the
Discover Switch screen:
EZSwitchSetup attempts to connect to the switch across the serial cable. If the
connection is successful, the
Set Switch IP Address

Setting the switch IP address
You can use either a serial or Ethernet connection to set the IP address of the switch. If you are using a DHCP server to
set the IP address: the switch must have DHCP enabled and firmware 6.0 installed. The DHCP server must also be on
the same subnet as the switch.
1.
