1. Connect to Power Supply

• Connect a 24V power supply to the Power A connectors on the switch.
• The MOD and PWR A status LED will turn green on startup.
• IN1, IN2, and OUT LEDs will be on when it is fully powered on (it does take some time).

2. Stratix Express Setup Modes

If you do not press the Express Setup button within 5 minutes after the power-on sequence is complete, the Setup status indicator turns off. However, you can still run Express Setup after the Setup status indicator turns off.
You must complete the switch setup within 10 minutes of releasing the Express Setup button. Otherwise, the switch exits Express Setup.

The Stratix switches have three setup modes:

• Short press (0-5 second press)
  • Setup LED flashes green.
  • Starts Express Setup mode.
• Medium press (6-10 second press)
  • Setup LED flashes red.
  • Resets Express Setup settings (retains switch config).
• Long press (16-20 second press)
  • Setup LED flashes green and red.
  • Factory Reset (wipes all configuration).

3. Short Press Setup

We will use the Short Press mode for initial setup.

• Use a paperclip or toothpick to press and hold the EXPRESS SETUP button until the SETUP status LED begins to flash green, then release.

• If the LED is red, it means there is a previous setup active. A long press factory reset must be performed before we can continue with a short press setup.
• The switch will assign a port for setup, and its LED will begin to flash green.

4. Connect Switch to Workstation

• Before connecting your workstation to the switch, make sure your ethernet port is set to DHCP so the switch can assign it an IP.
• Open the control panel and navigate to Network and Internet.

• Click on Network and Sharing Center.

• Click on change adapter settings

• Double-click on the Ethernet port that will be connected to the switch.

• Navigate to Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click the Properties button.

• Make sure your workstation's Ethernet is set to obtain an IP address automatically.

• Once you've verified that your workstation's port is set to DHCP, you can connect the ethernet to the switch's port that's flashing green.

• The switch will have a default IP address and assign the workstation an IP address. Verify this by opening command prompt and typing in 'ipconfig /all'.

• Navigate to the information for the ethernet adapter that you've used and check that the DHCP Server is 192.168.1.254 and the IPv4 Address is 192.168.1.1
• These are default IPs assigned to the switch and your workstation.

• If this is correct, you can proceed.

5. Navigate to Switch IP Address and Login

• Open your network browser and search for the default IP address of the switch, '192.168.1.254' and bypass any security prompts.
• Supported browsers include:
  • Chrome v38 or later.
  • Firefox v25 or later.
  • Edge v11 or later.
  • Safari v7 or later.

• To log in, enter the username: "admin" and the password: "switch". 

6. Account Settings

• Keep the username as admin.
• Enter the password as 'switch'.
• Name the device appropriately, 'Stratix5200' or 'Stratix5800'.
• Verify the information and proceed to Basic Settings

7. Basic Settings

• Set the IP address type to static.
• Set the IP address accordingly. (Automill standard for switches is in the host ID range of 90.)
  • Eg. 192.168.8.90-99
• Set the VLAN to match the subnet range of the IP address.
  • Eg. 8
• Set the subnet mask to '255.255.0.0'.
• Verify settings and proceed to Day 0 Config Summary.

8. Verify Switch Setup

• Verify the switch settings and proceed to Submit.
• The CLI Preview will show which CLI commands will be entered to configure the switch.
• Once the initial setup is complete, disconnect the Ethernet cable and power cycle the switch.
• While disconnected, change your workstation's IP to be static and within the same subnet range as the switch.
  • Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections.
  • Double-click the Ethernet port being used and navigate to the IPv4 properties as before.
  • Set the IP to be static within the same subnet range as the switch.

• Reconnect the workstation to the switch and see if you can ping it from the command prompt.
  • Eg. type 'ping 192.168.8.90 -t'

• If the switch is reachable, you can proceed.
• The switch is now reachable via the network browser by typing in the new assigned IP address.
• Log in using the username: 'admin' and password: 'switch'.
• Additional settings can now be configured from the WebUI.
