After the switch has initialized its management software, examine the 
switch ID LED on the front panel and do one of the following:



If the LED is displaying “0,” the installation procedure is complete. 
The switch is now ready for network operations as a stand-alone 
unit. Refer to the Software Reference for x510 Series Switches, 
AlliedWare Plus Operating System, for instructions on how to 
configure the operating parameters.



If the LED is displaying a number other than “0,” perform the 
following procedures to disable the VCStack feature.

You can disable the VCStack feature from a local management session of 
the switch using the Console port. To start a local management session, 
go to “Starting a Local Management Session,” next.

You have to reset the switch to disable the VCStack feature. Some 
network traffic may be lost if the device is already connected to a live 
network.

The initial management session of the switch must be from the 
Console port.

This procedure requires a terminal or a terminal emulator program and 
the management cable that comes with the switch. To start a local 
management session on the switch, perform the following procedure:

1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the management cable to the 

Console port on the front panel of the switch, as shown in Figure 33 on 
page 75.
