separated and prioritized.
You can manage the HDA50 configuration and network interaction directly through the device, the native
device web interface, or the PDMS-SP portal at

Port Setup and Configuration
Make the following connections to use your device. For details, see the HDA50 Setup Sheet.
●
Power Connection - Connect the supplied 12-volt power adapter to the device and the wall outlet or
working power strip. Only use the power adapter supplied with the original packaging to power the
device. Use of any power adapter other than what was provided with the device voids the warranty
and may cause the unit to not function at all or cause undesired operation.
●
Internet Connection Setup and Configuration - Connect an Ethernet cable from an available switch
port to the Internet port. By default, the device requests IP, DNS, and Internet (WAN) Gateway IP
addressing via DHCP.
