Powering On a WX
Switch
WARNING: The WX switch relies on the building’s installation for
overcurrent protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger
than 120
VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 10 A international) is used on the
phase conductors.
CAUTION: If a WX1200 or WXR100 switch is connected to Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE), it is possible for the switch to remain powered
on even when the power cord is unplugged. PSE can be a dedicated PoE
injector or even another networking switch such as the WX that is
capable of supplying PoE. To completely power off a WX1200 or
WXR100, unplug the power cord, then unplug all Ethernet cables that
are connected to other PoE devices.
To power on a WX1200, WX4400, or WX2200 switch:
1 Make sure any power supply is fully seated in the WX switch.
2 For each power supply that you are using on the WX switch, attach a
power cord to an AC power source.
3 Plug the power cord into the WX power supply.
The WX switch begins booting as soon as you plug in the power cord(s).
4 Observe the power supply LED for each connected power supply to verify
that the LED is steadily glowing green. This indicates normal power
supply operation.
5 On the WX4400 switch only, wait a few seconds, then observe the
Mgmt
LED to verify that it is breathing (repeatedly flashing bright green,
then fading) to indicate that the WX switch has successfully booted and is
operating normally.
Powering On a
WXR100 Switch
To power on a WXR100 switch:
1 Plug the power supply into an AC power source.
2 Plug the power supply into the Power port.
The LED turns green when the WXR100 is receiving power.
