Power Port
The
POWER
port on the 8300 Endpoint
is a standard, grounded, three-prong
connector. To apply power to the unit, simply plug the supplied power cord into the
unit’s
POWER
port and then connect the wall plug to an appropriate electrical
outlet. The unit has no power switch.
When power is applied to any 8300 Endpoint, the front panel indicators flash for
approximately 10 to 15 seconds as the unit initializes. The green
POWER
LED on
the front panel will remain illuminated as long as the unit receives power. This LED
turns amber when the unit is in test mode.
CAUTION:
Always connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
NOTICE:
Per UL 1950 and CSA 60950 Clause 1.7.2, if the power supply
cord is intended to serve as a disconnect device, an easily
accessible socket must be installed near the equipment.
Power Failure
If the indicator does not illuminate, check the power connections and the primary
circuit breaker.
The 8300 Endpoints provide nonvolatile memory retention of the unit configuration
in case of a power failure. The unit will automatically restore normal service
following a power loss and will retain pre-existing time and date information.
