Chapter 1 Install the Switch

Reset the Switch to
Factory Defaults

Follow this procedure if you need to restore the switch to its factory default
settings. This procedure resets the switch to its original factory settings. Any
configuration changes you have made are lost.

1. Remove power from the switch.

2. Reapply power to the switch.

3. While the switch is powering up, press and hold the Express Setup button.

4. When the EIP Mod, EIP Net and Setup status indictors turn red, release

the Express Setup button.

The switch continues powering up in its factory default state.

5. To reconfigure the switch, see

Set Up the Switch Initially with Express

Setup on page 48

.

Troubleshoot the Installation

The status indicators on the front panel provide troubleshooting information
about the switch. They show power-on self-test (POST) failures, port-
connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics
from the browser interface, the command-line interface (CLI), or a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) workstation.

Switch POST Results

As power is applied to the switch, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs
automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. It can take several
minutes for the switch to complete POST.

POST starts with status indicator tests that cycle once through the EIP Mod, EIP
Net, Setup, Pwr A, and Pwr B status indicators. While POST proceeds, the EIP
Mod status indicator blinks green, and all the other status indicators remain off.

If POST completes successfully, the System status indicator changes to solid
green, and the other status indicators display their normal operating status. If the
switch fails POST, the System status indicator turns red.

POST Results with a Terminal

If you have a terminal connected to the console port, you can also view POST
status and test results on the terminal. If the terminal displays unclear characters,
try resetting the terminal-emulation software to 9600 bits per second.

ATTENTION: POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Rockwell Automation
technical support representative if your switch does not pass POST.
