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 router 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 router may use a replacement AC power cord. Different
countries have different standards and requirements that must be observed.
Before connecting the router 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 15 to make sure you have the correct
power supply.
2. Connect the DC power cord to the DC IN port on the router, as shown in Figure 7
on page 26.
If you apply power to the power supply and then connect the DC power cord,
the satellite router 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 router’s LEDs upon power-up, as explained in
Powering up the router on page 27 and LEDS on power-up on page 28.
