Initial configuration
Use this procedure to configure an IP address for the switch.
To use the BES50 management features, you must first configure the
BES50 with an IP address that is compatible with the network where it
is being installed. For simplicity, configure the IP address before you
permanently install the switch.

Action
Place your switch close to the PC that you will use to configure it.
It helps if you can see the front panel of the switch while you work
on your PC.
Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel
of your switch.
Insert the power adapter into the DC power socket in front of the
switch.
Plug the other end of the power adapter into a grounded, 3-pin
socket, AC power source.
Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to confirm that
the PWR LED is green. If not, check that the power cable is correctly
plugged in.
If the PC IP address is different from the switch but is on the same
subnet, go to the next step. (For example, if the PC and switch both
have addresses that start with 192.168.1.x.) Otherwise, manually
set the IP address for the PC. See
(page 96).
