Installing a Switch
3. After approximately one minute, the POST executes.
4. After about another minute, the POST is complete, all LEDs are
extinguished except the Input Power LED. The Input Power LED remains
illuminated indicating that the switch logic circuitry is receiving DC
voltage. If not, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch Module
Connect the management workstation to the switch module in the following
ways:
• Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the
switch module RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a
hub. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in Figure 3-2.
With this method, you can manage the switch module with the EFCM
BASIC application or Command Line Interface.
• Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the
switch module RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T
cross-over cable as shown in Figure 3-2. With this method, you can
manage the switch module with the EFCM BASIC application or
Command Line Interface.
Figure 3-2. Ethernet Cable Connections
The default IP address of a new switch module is 10.0.0.1. Many management
workstations are not configured to communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet. Use
the EFCM BASIC Configuration Wizard to set the IP address of a new switch
without re-configuring the management workstation.
To establish an Ethernet connection, do the following:
1. Connect a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable from an RJ-45 port on the
management workstation directly to the RJ-45 Ethernet port; or a 10/100
Base-T straight cable indirectly over an Ethernet network.
2. Open a command line window.
