Electrical Connection
The RSG2500 has no On/Off switch. It is powered on by plugging in its power adapter.
1
Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the back of the RSG2500.
2
Plug the power adapter into an unswitched, grounded, and surge-protected AC power
outlet. The Power LED on the front panel lights green when connected properly.
Establishing Your Connection to the RSG2500
You can now establish your first wired network connection:
We recommend following the step-by-step easy install process on the included
RSG2500 CD-ROM.
The Installation Wizard automatically runs when you insert the
RSG2500 CD-ROM in your computer CD-ROM drive. It confirms that the antenna and
electrical connections have been made, and then leads you step-by-step through
setting up your RSG2500.
If you do not wish to use the Installation Wizard, you can manually configure this first
wired connection.
