Before you power on the switch, start the terminal-emulation session so that you
can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST).
The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as
Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and
your PC or terminal possible.
Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

If you are using an AC power supply, connect one end of the supplied AC power
cord to the power connector on the switch rear panel, and then connect the other
end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet. (See
If you are using a DC power supply, see the
