13. To complete the Express Setup process, unplug the computer from the switch and wait until the Setup LED
indicator turns completely off.

For IOS version 15.2(4) EA3, switches use multi-mode Express Setup.
The new firmware 15.2(4)EA3 introduces the multi-mode Express Setup press which means the mode is
determined by how many seconds the Express Setup button is held in. All the steps from above are still
valid except for step 5 Press and release the Express Setup button. See the multi-modes below along with their
features.
Short Press mode—You want to use Express Setup to enter the initial IP address of the switch. You can then
configure additional network settings via Device Manager. To run Short Press mode, press and hold the
Express Setup button until the Setup status indicator flashes green during seconds 1...4, and then release.
Follow all the steps from above section.
Note: If a non-default configuration already exists on the switch and you do the Short Press mode, it will
cause the Setup LED go solid red for 10 seconds. You will have to do a factory defaults first to clear the
non-default configuration then do the Short Press mode to get back into Express setup. This behavior is
working as designed as stated per the Stratix Managed Switches User Manual
(http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1783-um007_-en-
p.pdf) Publication 1783-UM007 on Page 35.
