Inspection Checks
Please inspect the unit to ensure that there is no damage to the external casing which could cause a
malfunction of the device or cause a safety critical fault. Any damaged units should be returned to Parallax
Digital Technologies for inspection and testing.
Please ensure that the AC lead is correctly fitted and secured, and if an additional Earthing Cable is to be
used, that it is secured onto the GND Connector on the rear of the unit before use

RJ45 Connections
Ensure all required RJ45 Ports are connected correctly using CAT5e cable or better to the client devices.
Note that +24VDC will be present on the voltage carrying pins continuously, and users should check that all
PoE powered devices to be used are compatible with +24VDC supply voltage.
8.3
SFP Connections
The SFP Ports incorporated into this unit only support Gigabit SFP Modules – it is recommended to use
standard SFP Modules in this product.
Once an SFP Module is fully inserted and locked in place, please ensure the fibre cables are connected to
the correct Tx/Rx points. If using an SFP-RJ45 adapter, then ensure the connecter is fully inserted and
locked into the adapter.
8.4
Power Up
The Unit will automatically power up as soon as AC Voltage is applied to the mains cable. The Power Light
will be illuminated and after approximately 1 second, all of the other LEDs will flash on and off to complete
the initialization sequence. Following this, the Port Status LEDs will display the current state of each of the
ports.
