IDU Installation
Select a Location
The IDU can be installed indoors on any horizontal surface, such as a desktop or
shelf. Be sure to select an suitable location for the device. Consider these
guidelines:
• Select a cool, dry place, which is out of direct sunlight.
• The device should have adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides
for proper air flow.
• The device must be near an AC power outlet that provides 100 to 240 V, 50 to
60 Hz.
• Be sure to attach the IDU ground wire to a nearby electrical earth point.
• The device should be accessible for network cabling and allow the status LED
indicators to be clearly visible.
Install the Unit
The IDU is a plug-and-play device, so once it has been connected to local PCs and
powered up, it is fully operable.
To connect the IDU, follow these steps:
1. Power on the IDU by connecting the AC power adapter and plugging it into an
AC power source.
Caution:
Use ONLY the power adapter supplied with the OD200. Otherwise, the
product may be damaged.
2. Observe the Indicator LEDs. When you power on the IDU, verify that the Power
LED turns on and that the other LED indicators start functioning as described
under “IDU Hardware Description” on page 1-2.
3. Connect Category 5 or better Ethernet cables from the IDU’s LAN ports to the
network ports of your PCs. Alternatively, you can connect the LAN ports to an
Ethernet switch or other devices. Make sure the length of each cable does not
exceed 100 meters (328 ft).
If your PCs are powered on, the RJ-45 LAN port LEDs on the IDU should turn
on to indicate valid links.
