Installing an OmniAccess
3
4. Install an Uplink Submodule
Skip this step if:
• you are not installing an uplink submodule, or
• an uplink submodule was installed for you at
the factory.
♦
Caution
♦
Do not attempt to install or remove an
uplink module while the switch’s
power is on. Verify that the switch is
powered off before proceeding.
5. Connect to a Power Source
All OmniAccess switches are powered by an internal
AC
power supply. The
AC
power connector can be
found on the rear panel of all OA-512 switches.
♦
Note
♦
OmniAccess switches do not support
the Alcatel Backup Power System
(BPS).
Connect the provided power cord to the
AC
power
connector on the OmniAccess. Then plug the power
cord into a properly grounded
AC
electrical outlet.
6. Turn the Power On
Move the
ON
/
OFF
power switch (located next to the
AC
power connector) to the
ON
(
|
) position.
a.
Use a screwdriver to remove the blank uplink sub-
module cover plate on the OA-512 front panel.
b.
Insert the uplink submodule into the uplink submodule
slot. Uplink submodules have an “up” and a “down”
side. Use the printing on the submodule’s front panel as
a reference for orienting the submodule—if the printing
is right-side up, you are installing the submodule cor-
rectly.
c.
Slide the uplink submodule in until it rests against the
connector, then press firmly until it seats into the con-
nector. Once installed, tighten the screws by hand or
with a flat blade screwdriver. Ensure that the screws are
completely screwed down, but do not overtighten.
