Chapter 3 Express Setup
Express Setup
Step 3 Enter the Network Settings values:
Step 4 Enter the Optional Settings now, or enter them later using the Device Manager interface.
You can enter other administrative settings in the Express Setup window. For example, the optional
administrative settings identify and synchronize the switch module for enhanced management. NTP
synchronizes the switch module with the network clock. You can also manually set the system clock
settings.
Step 5 Click Submit to save your changes.
The switch module is now configured and exits Express Setup. The browser displays a warning message
and attempts to connect with the earlier switch module IP address. Typically, connectivity between the
computer and the switch module is lost because the configured switch module IP address is in a different
subnet for the computer IP address.
Step 6 Disconnect the switch module from the computer, and install the switch module in your network (see
Installation, page 2-2).
Step 7 If you have not changed your IP address, skip this step.
If you changed your IP address in the previous set of steps, change it to the previously configured IP
address (see Step 3).
Step 8 Display the Device Manager:
a. Open a web browser and enter the switch module IP address.
b. Enter the username and password and then click Enter.
For more information on configuring and managing the switch module, see Accessing the Switch
Module, page 4-2.
Note If the Device Manager does not display, check the following:
• Confirm that the LED for the switch module port connected to your network is green
