Step 1: Cut short the PE of the port lightning protector based on the distance of the router
ground terminal or the lightning protection ground copper bar in the equipment room.
Tighten the PE of the port lightning protector securely to the router ground terminal or
the lightning protection ground copper bar in the equipment room.
Step 2: Use a multimeter to test whether the lightning protector PE is well connected to the
router ground terminal or the lightning protection ground copper bar in the equipment
room.
Step 3: According to the description on the port lightning protector specification, use the network
port conversion cable to connect the port lightning protector (Pay attention to the
connection direction and note that the external cable is connected to the IN end and the
conversion cable on the router is connected to the OUT end). At the same time, observe
whether the indicators on the boards are normal.
Step 4: Bind the cables tidily using cable ties.
The port lightning protector is not provided with the router. The user can purchase it
as required.
The port lightning protector aims for the Ethernet port of the 10/100/1000M
electrical interface using the RJ-45 connector.
The port lightning protector specifications contain the technical parameters and the
installation and maintenance instruction of the surge protector. Refer to the
specifications carefully in the actual installation.
Avoid the installation direction of the port lightning protector is connected reversely.
The external cable is connected to the IN end and the router network port is
connected to the OUT end.
Avoid the port lightning protector is improperly grounded. When installing the PE of
the surge protector, keep the PE as short as possible to ensure the well contact
with the router ground terminal. After the connection is finished, use a multimeter to
check the connection.
Avoid that the port lightning protector is incompletely installed. When there is more
than one outbound network port of interconnected cable between the router and
other router, install the lightning protector for all cable outbound network ports.
