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. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following 
procedure to apply AC power.



Connect the end of the power connection cable to the power receptacle on the back of 

the switch.

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 to 

.

The smart switch can also be powered by PD port 15 or 16; these ports receive DC power 
from a connected PSE device. 

These are the possible boot options from the PD ports:

Two 802.3af PD sources (15.4W each)

One or two 802.3at PD sources (30W each)

One AF and one AT power source (15.4W, 30W, respectively)

A single 802.3af PD source does not supply enough power to boot 

the switch.

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 switch 
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 powering up the switch for the first time, the smart switch can be configured using a web 

browser or a program called Smart Control Center. For more information about managing the 
switch, see the software administration manual on the smart switch resource CD.
