Express Setup Procedure
To run Express Setup:
Step 1 Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.
Step 2 Ensure the switch is in default factory mode.
Skip to next step if freshly out of the box
If not freshly out of the package, use a paper clip to reset the switch for at least 15 seconds until the SYS LED light
turns red; then release the paper clip.
Switch will automatically reboot once the SYS led goes red.
Step 3 Ensure no data port is connected to the switch.
During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server.
Note
• You can add a serial console cable to monitor the booting sequence. Do not hit [return key] on console screen.
• Ensure the computer connected to switch is configured with DHCP.
Step 4 Web Browser: disable pop-up blockers and proxy settings.
Step 5 Connect power to the switch.
See the wiring instructions in Grounding the Switch, on page 40 and Wiring the Power Source, on page 44.
Step 6 Power on or reset the switch.
Use LEDs to monitor boot progress:
• Sys blinking: bootloader
• Sys Blank: POST
• Sys solid: exit post, IOS initializing
• Sys and alarm LEDs green: IOS init done
• ~90 – 100 seconds after power on
Step 7 Insert paper clip into express setup button for 1-2 seconds.
When released, port Gig1/1 LED starts flashing green.
Step 8 Connect computer to port Gig1/1.
LED continues to blink.
Step 9 After computer has IP address (192.168.1.1), point browser to http://192.168.1.254.
Step 10 Leave the username blank and enter the default password, cisco.
The switch ignores text in the username field. The Express Setup window appears.
Note
Troubleshooting: If the Express Setup window does not appear, make sure that any pop-up blockers or proxy settings
on your browser are disabled and that any wireless client is disabled on your computer.
