Installing a Switch
3. After approximately one minute, the POST executes.
4. After about another minute, the POST is complete, all LEDs are 
extinguished except the Input Power LED. The Input Power LED remains 
illuminated indicating that the switch logic circuitry is receiving DC 
voltage. If not, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch Module
Connect the management workstation to the switch module in the following 
ways:
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the 
switch module RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a 
hub. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in 
With this method, you can manage the switch module with the EFCM 
BASIC application or Command Line Interface.
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the 
switch module RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T 
cross-over cable as shown in 
. With this method, you can 
manage the switch module with the EFCM BASIC application or 
Command Line Interface.
Figure 3-2.  Ethernet Cable Connections
The default IP address of a new switch module is 10.0.0.1. Many management 
workstations are not configured to communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet. Use 
the EFCM BASIC Configuration Wizard to set the IP address of a new switch 
without re-configuring the management workstation.
To establish an Ethernet connection, do the following:
1. Connect a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable from an RJ-45 port on the 
management workstation directly to the RJ-45 Ethernet port; or a 10/100 
Base-T straight cable indirectly over an Ethernet network.
2. Open a command line window.
