1) Tear one side of the protection paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the tape to the framework of the
Ethernet port arrester. Tear the other side of the protection paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the
Ethernet port arrester to the switch framework. The paste location for the Ethernet port arrester shall be as close to
the grounding terminal of the switch.
2) Based on the distance of the switch grounding terminal, cut the grounding line for the Ethernet port arrester and
firmly tighten the grounding line to the grounding terminal of the switch.
3) Use the multimeter to check whether the grounding line for the arrester is in good contact with the switch grounding
terminal and the framework.
4) According to the description on the Ethernet Port Arrester Hardware Installation Guide, connect the arrester using
the adapter cable(note that the external network cable is connected to the end of IN, while the adapter cable
connected to the switch is connected to the end of OUT) and observe whether the LED on the borad is normal or not.
5) Use the nylon button to bundle the power cables.
Figure C-2 Schematic Diagram for the Ethernet port Arrester Installation
The Ethernet port arrester is only for the 10M/100M copper Ethernet ports with the RJ-45 connector;
The Ethernet port arrester is not provided, the user can purchase them to address their own pratical requirements. For the
detailed information during the arrester installation, please refer to Ethenet Port Arrester Hardware Installation Guide,
which contains the technical specification and the maintenance and installation of the arrester.
You may pay attention to the following conditions during the actual installation to avoid influencing the performance of the
Ethernet port arrester:

Reversed direction of the arrester installation. You shall connect the external network cable to the “IN” end and
connect the switch Ethernet port to the “OUT” end.
 Poor arrester grounding. The length of the grounding line should be as short as possible to ensure that it is in good
contact with the switch grounding terminal. Use the multimeter to confirm the contact condition after the grounding.
 Incomplete arrester installation. If there is more than one port connected to the peer device on the switch, it needs to
install the arresters on all connection ports for the purpose of the lightning protection.
