Step 4. Apply Power to the Switch
❑ Plug the AC power cord into the switch and into a wall
outlet or power strip. Verify that the Input Power LED
is lit.
❑ The switch runs its self tests, and begins normal
operation—this may take a few minutes. Verify that
the Heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second), and
the System Fault LED is not lit.
Step 5. Verify Workstation Requirements
❑ Verify that your workstation can support the QuickTools™ application with the following minimum requirements:
■ Windows
®
2003 or Windows XP SP1/SP2
■ 512MB memory minimum; 1GB recommended
■ 1GHz processor
■ Video card with 256 colors
■ RJ-45 Ethernet port
■ Internet Browser: Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
6.0 and later, Firefox
®
1.5 and later, Safari
®
1.0 for Windows
■ Java™ 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment 1.4.2 to support the Web applet
❑ The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. Ensure that your workstation is configured to communicate
with the 10.0.0 subnet.
Step 6. Connect the Workstation to the Switch
❑ Connect the workstation to the switch using an Ethernet cable—the switch automatically recognizes both straight
and cross-over cables. If you are using a Windows workstation, you must have a live Ethernet connection when
the workstation powers up.
Step 7. Log In to the Switch
You can log in to and manage the switch using the command line interface (CLI) or the QuickTools Web applet. This
guide describes the use of QuickTools.
❑ To start the QuickTools Web applet, open an Internet browser, and then type the default IP address 10.0.0.1.
❑ Log in to the switch using the default user name (admin) and password (password).
Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard
❑ Obtain the IP address and subnet mask from your network administrator.
❑ Open the QuickTools Wizards menu and select Configuration Wizard. Follow the instructions to set network
parameters and the password. The default user name is admin; the default password is password. Changing the
IP address will terminate the QuickTools session.
❑ Open an Internet browser and type the new IP address to log in to switch.
