Connect the cables and power on the HP 560

The HP 560 is powered via port 1, using either PoE or PoE+.
1. Connect the cables:
If using a PoE switch, use Ethernet cables to connect your computer and the HP 560 to
an unused factory-default PoE switch.
If using a PoE injector, use Ethernet cables to connect your computer to the data in port
of the PoE injector and the HP 560 to the data and power out port of the PoE injector.
2. Power on the HP 560 by powering on the PoE switch or injector.
Initially, the HP 560 power LED flashes once every two seconds.
3. Wait approximately a minute until the power LED begins flashing once per second before
proceeding to the next step.
