If the switch fails POST, the EIP Mod status indicator turns red.
4. Press and release the Express Setup button. Wait for a few seconds until
the status indicator on one of the unconnected switch ports flashes
green.
This button is recessed 16 mm (0.63 in.) behind the front panel. Use a
small tool, such as a paper clip, to reach the button.
5. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the flashing
switch port to the Ethernet port on your personal computer.
The port status indicators on your personal computer and on the switch
both flash while the switch configures the connection.
TIP
If you wait too long to connect the cable, the Setup status
indicator turns off. Go back to step 4 on page 49.
