Figure 5. Basic Cabling Example
Initial Configuration
The Wireless AC Services Router software is
preinstalled on the DSR-500AC/1000AC device.
When the device is powered on, it is ready to be
configured. While the device has a default factory
configuration that allow you to initially connect to
the device, you must perform further configuration
for your specific network requirements.
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which you
are managing the device must initially be on the
same subnetwork as the device.
Connecting Power and Turning On/Off
The AC Power adapter shipped with the device
connects the device to earth ground when plugged
an AC grounding-type power outlet. The device
must be connected to earth ground during normal
operation.
To connect power to the device, plug one end of
the AC power core into the AC power appliance
inlet on the back panel of the device. Plug the other
end into an AC power source.
Note: We recommend using a surge protector for
the power connection.
To power on the DSR-500AC/1000AC device,
press the AC power switch on the rear panel to
the on position. To power off the device, press the
power switch to the off position.
2. Then, use the screws provided with the
equipment rack to mount the device in the rack.
