The LAN LED on the front of the modem should now be on.
Connecting the power supply
Follow the instructions in Connecting an AC/DC power supply on page 17 or Connecting and
assembling a DC/DC power supply on page 18.
Connecting an AC/DC power supply
The following apply to the AC/DC power supplies:
• The input must be 120-240 VAC.
• A suitable surge protector is recommended to protect the modem from possible damage due
to power surges.
The customer provides the surge protector. If a surge protector or power strip is not present, use
a wall outlet or other power source.
In some countries, the modem may use a replacement AC power cord. Different countries have
different standards and requirements that must be observed.
Before connecting the modem power supply to the AC power source (using a surge protector),
use an AC outlet tester to verify that the power outlet is wired correctly. Wiring problems may
include:
• Hot and neutral wires reversed
• Neutral and ground wires reversed
• Open ground (incomplete connection)
• Open neutral
If the outlet is wired improperly, notify the customer that you are not permitted to connect the
system to a faulty outlet. Do not proceed with the installation until a properly wired outlet is
provided.
Connect the power supply as follows:
1. Check Power supply information on page 7 to make sure you have the correct power supply.
2. Connect the DC power cord to the DC IN port on the modem, as shown in Figure 7:
Connecting an AC power supply on page 18.
If you apply power to the power supply and then connect the
DC power cord, the satellite modem may not perform properly and could be damaged.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply.
Do not connect the AC power cord to the surge protector at this time. Wait until you are ready
to observe the modem’s LEDs upon power-up, as explained in
Powering up the modem on page
19 and LEDS on power-up on page 19.
