Installation Summary

C a u t i o n
Because the Switch 800T can be damaged by installing or removing a
transceiver while powered-up, the ONLY time to install additional
transceivers is before powering up the switch or with the power
disconnected during scheduled down times.
The J3192A twisted-pair transceiver is not supported in the Switch 800T.
Always use the "B" version (J3192B) or any later J3192 transceiver(s).

Install transceivers (optional). The Switch 800T is shipped with four
HP J3192B AdvanceStack 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Transceiver Modules
(referred to in this manual as "transceivers") already installed.
Verify the switch's operation. This is a simple process of applying
power to the Switch 800T and ensuring that the LEDs on the switch's front
panel respond properly.
Mount the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a tabletop.
Hewlett-Packard sells 19-inch free-standing equipment racks. To order a
rack, contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer.
(Optional) Connect the J2962A HP AdvanceStack Redundant
Power Supply (RPS) instead of using the switch's own power
supply. This optional power supply can be used instead of the switch's
main power supply to provide both primary and backup (redundant)
power to keep the switch operating in the event of a failure in either a
power circuit or a power supply unit.
Connect the Switch 800T to a network and connect computers and/
or other devices to the switch's ports.
Configure the Switch 800T. The Switch 800T, in its factory default
configuration, operates as a multiport transparent bridge. You will need
to use the console interface utility to configure the switch for additional
functionality. Initially, this requires one of the following:
• A PC with a terminal emulator connected to the Console RS-232 port
on the switch either directly or via a modem
• An actual terminal directly connected to the Console RS-232 port on
the switch
(For examples of terminal emulator configurations, refer to appendix C,
"Sample Console Configurations".)
After configuring a minimal IP or IPX configuration through one of the
above options, you can also access the console interface via Telnet or use
a network management tool, such as Hewlett-Packard's AdvanceStack
Assistant, for some configuration and monitoring functions.
