Troubleshooting Express Setup
If Express Setup does not run, or if the Express Setup page does not appear in your browser:
• Did you verify that POST successfully ran
before starting Express Setup?
If not, make sure that only the SYST and STAT
LEDs are green before pressing the Mode
button to enter the Express Setup mode.
• Did you press the Mode button while the
switch was still running POST?
If yes, wait until POST completes. Power cycle
the switch. Wait until POST completes. Confirm
that the SYST and STAT LEDs are green. Press
the Mode button to enter Express Setup mode.
• Did you try to continue without confirming
that the switch was in Express Setup
mode?
Verify that all LEDs next to the Mode button are
green. If necessary, press the Mode button to
enter Express Setup mode.
• Does your PC have a static IP address?
If yes, before connecting to the switch change
your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP.
• Did you connect a crossover cable instead
of a straight-through Ethernet cable
between a switch port and the Ethernet port
of the PC?
If yes, connect a straight-through cable to an
Ethernet port on the switch and PC. Wait 30
seconds before entering 10.0.0.1 in the browser.
• Did you connect the Ethernet cable to the
console port instead of to an Ethernet port
on the switch?
If yes, disconnect from the console port.
Connect to an Ethernet port on the switch and
PC. Wait 30 seconds before entering 10.0.0.1 in
the browser.
• Did you wait 30 seconds after connecting
the switch and PC before entering the IP
address in your browser?
If not, wait 30 seconds, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the
browser, and press Enter.
• Did you enter the wrong address in the
browser, or is there an error message?
If yes, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and
press Enter.
