Step 5
Connect a Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable to 
any 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink 
port (such as port 1) on the switch front panel. 
Connect the other end of the ca
ble to the 
Ethernet port on your PC. 
Before going to the next step, wait until the 
po
rt LEDs on the switch and your PC or 
laptop are green or blinking green. The green 
port LEDs mean a successful connection.
Troubleshooting:
If the port LEDs do not turn green after about 
30 seconds, make sure that: 
 • You connected the Ethernet cable to one 
of the downlink switch ports (not to an 
uplink port such as the dual-purpose 
port). 
 • You are using an undamaged Category 5 
or 6 Ethernet cable. 
 • The other device is turned on. 
Step 6
Enter the IP address 10.0.0.1 in a web 
browser, and press Enter.
When prompted, enter t
he default password, 
cisco.
Note The switch ignores text in the 
username field.
The Express Setup window appears.
Troubleshooting:
If the Express Setup window does not appear, 
make sure that any pop-up blockers or proxy 
settings on your browser are disabled and that 
any wireless client is disabled on your PC or 
laptop.
