POWERING ON

The SMCGS501P switch is powered by connecting to an AC power supply using

the included AC-DC power adapter. When powering on the switch, it

automatically initializes and the LED indicators respond as follows:

1. All of the LED indicators flash momentarily for one second, which represents

a resetting of the system.

2. The PWR LED indicator turns on green.
