Router Power Path Selection
During normal operation, the router is powered by the integrated AC power supply. The BBU enters discharge
mode and begins providing power to the router when the AC power is interrupted outside a range of 85V to
250V for more than 20 ms. The BBU charges or discharges only; it does not support both simultaneously.
