Package Contents: Verify you received: One SESPM1040‐541‐LT‐xx Switch,
one Documentation Postcard, one printed Quick Start Guide, and hole plugs in
a bag. You can configure the switch directly in the box and unpack at the install
location. Tools and Equipment: One or two stud size 6 ring terminals to use as protective ground connector (‐DC or ‐
PD version; ‐AC is already grounded). A crimping tool. 12–18 gauge copper ground wire (or as appropriate). Wire‐
stripping tools to strip 12–18 gauge wires. #‐2 Phillips screwdriver. Flat‐blade screwdriver. Torque Driver. 3/8" nut driver
to lock and unlock enclosure. Wire Gland tool for loosening/tightening.
Wall Mount Installation: 1. Place switch at desired location and secure with mounting screws (not included).
2. Ground the switch before connecting other cables. 3. Disconnect grounding only after disconnecting all other cables.
Pole Mount Installation: Use optional Pole Mount Bracket Kit and follow kit instructions. Mounting straps or U‐bolts
are needed (not provided). Wire Gland Plug Kit: Various wire gland inserts are provided. To maintain NEMA/IP rating,
use the most appropriate size for your cable and fill unused holes with hole plugs provided.
Cabling Procedure: For standard installs, plug the AC power cord into an outdoor‐rated receptacle. To hardwire the
switch, perform these steps: 1. Connect cable glands or ¾ NPT conduit connectors to the face of the switch. Ensure that
connectors are fully waterproof. 2. Thread outdoor rated waterproof AC cable (must comply with all local, national and
country electrical codes) from source thru piping/gland to the terminal block. 3. Pair and secure ground, line, and
neutral to the appropriate positions on the three pin terminal block and reattach the protective covering.
Port Configuration: Ports 1‐4 are 10/100/1000Base‐T PoE++ PSE Ports. Port 5 is a combo 10/100/1000Base‐T or a
100/1000Base‐X uplink port. On the ‐AC and ‐DC, Port 5 can either be used as a copper or fiber port. On the ‐PD version,
Port 5 is normally used for PoE power input; the SFP option is not available unless using fiber cable running in parallel to
a copper cable as the power input, then port 5 can be used as a fiber port (or copper) instead of using it exclusively as
the PoE power input port. Port 6 is available when you add the optional Additional Combo Port Module or optional
Wireless Extension Module. Note: If using more than one 90W port, alternate ports, use ports 1 and 3, or ports 1 and 4,
or ports 2 and 4. Exception: ports 2 and 3 are allowed.
Console Port: The Console port provides an RJ45 connector for serial connection to a network PC running a terminal
emulation package such as HyperTerm or PuTTY. See the Operation Guide.
SFP Installation: The bottom SFP cage is for the included combo port; the top SFP cage is for the optional 2
nd
combo
port. On the bottom SFP cage insert the SFP with the label down. On the top SFP cage insert the SFP with the label up.
Use only Industrial SFPs for outdoor switch installation.
Factory Reset button: Located in the lower left corner of the switch PCB. Press less than 10 seconds to issue a power
down (system) reset. Press more than 10 seconds to reset to factory defaults.
Configuration Procedures: You can configure the switch using NFC (easiest way), Web UI, or CLI. NFC requires a
tablet or smart phone with Android OS and NFC capability. Web UI requires current Windows or Linux distro and a
current web browser. CLI access is via a Telnet session or a PC running a terminal emulation package.
