Installation and Setup
Connecting Equipment to the
Console Port
Connection to the console port is used for direct local management.
The switch console port settings are set as follows:
• Baud rate — 9600
• Data bits — 8
• Stop bit — 1
• Parity — None
• Flow control — XON/XOFF
The terminal connected to the console port on the switch must be
configured with the same settings. This procedure will be described
in the documentation supplied with the terminal.
Powering On the Switch
To turn on power to the switch, connect the AC power cable to the
switch and then to the wall outlet. The 480T switch has no on/off
switch.
Checking the Installation
After plugging in the switch, the device performs a Power On Self-
Test (POST).
During the POST, all ports are temporarily disabled, the packet
LED is off and the power LED is on. The MGMT LED flashes until
the switch has successfully passed the POST, whereby it returns to
the slow flashing state for normal operation.
If the switch passes the POST, the MGMT LED blinks at a slow rate
(1 blink per second). If the switch fails the POST, the MGMT LED
shows a solid yellow light.
