Hi Teenet, 

 

That's okay. :)  I know some of these models are a bit confusing, no need to PM the serial number. I suggest installing the ProSAFE Configuration Utility and see if the switch will be detected. The power LED should be solid and the Ethernet lights should blink if there's an activity. 

 

Thanks,
