XS712T Smart Switch 
Figure 8. Installing an SFP transceiver module
Step 6: Apply AC Power
The smart switch does not have an on/off switch. Power is controlled by the power cord 
connection. 
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, 
which can turn off power to the switch. 
To apply AC power:
1.
Connect the end of the power connection cable to the power receptacle on the back of 
the switch.
2.
Connect the AC power connection cable into a power source such as a wall socket or 
power strip.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel lights.
If the Power LED does not light, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that 
the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, see 
Step 7: Manage the Switch Using a Web Browser or the 
Smart Control Center Utility
The smart switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. 
This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the ports 
without using the management software. However, the management software enables the 
setup of VLAN and trunking features and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which 
results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the 
network. 
After you power up the switch for the first time, you can configure the smart switch using a 
web browser or a program called Smart Control Center. For more information about
