Step 4. Install Transceivers
An SFP transceiver is required for each switch port that will be connected to a device or another switch.
❑ To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the switch port and gently press until it snaps in place. The
transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
Step 5. Apply Power to the Switch
❑ Attach the AC power cords to the switch and wall
outlet or power strip. The model 5600 switch has one
AC receptacle on the front; the model 5602 switch has
two AC receptacles on the back. Verify that the Input
Power LED is illuminated.
❑ 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 illuminated.
Step 6. Verify Workstation Requirements
❑ Verify that your workstation can support the QuickTools™ application with the following minimum requirements:
❑ Windows® 2003 and XP SP1/SP2
❑ 512 MB memory minimum; 1 GB recommended
❑ 1 GHz processor
❑ Video card with 256 colors
❑ Internet Browser: Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
6.0, Netscape Navigator
®
6.0, Firefox
®
1.5, or Mozilla™ 1.5
❑ 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 7. Connect the Workstation to the Switch
❑ Connect the workstation to the switch using an Ethernet crossover cable, switch, or hub. If you are using a Windows
workstation, you must have a live Ethernet connection when the workstation powers up.
