Note
1.
The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered. If
your network should be active all the time,
please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent
you from network data loss or network
downtime.
2.
In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Gigabit
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch or
the power adapter.
