SC-IP Power-Up
Before making connections, determine whether the SC-IP can be powered from the same AC circuit
as the equipment connected to its terminal server ports. Having the SC-IP and the connecting
equipment on the same AC circuit prevents large circulating currents caused by differences in
ground potential.
To connect the unit to power and perform a pre-operation Self-Test, do the following:
1. Make sure there are no site or network cables connected to the unit's rear panel.
2. Attach the power cord (P/N 830-024-003) to the rear panel IEC connector and to a wall
receptacle that supplies the required AC power.
3. Verify that the Front Panel INS LED flashes on and off.
After a few seconds, the LED will illuminate steady.
4. The SC-IP is now ready for configuration to suit your network requirements.
Note
IMPORTANT: The SC-IP comes from the factory with the Modem and the AUX ports
Enabled
for ease
of initial configuration. As a security precaution, do not connect the Modem and AUX ports to the network
until the default password has been changed via the Craft port.
(See Chapter 3:
SC-IP Configuration Overview
.
Note
If you cannot determine whether both devices are on the same circuit, verify that the potential difference
between the grounding circuits of the respective power outlets is no more than 0.25V rms.
Note
The AC outlet that powers the SC-IP units should not be under switch control.
