4 AR450S Router
Selecting a Site
The router should be installed on a level surface such as a desktop or bench.
When installing the router, choose a site that:
■ Allows adequate airflow around the router and its vents.
■ Is free of dust and moisture.
■ Will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F) and
a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.
■ Has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply circuit, preferably
dedicated and filtered.
■ Does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radios,
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■ Allows easy access to the router’s power and cable connections.
Installing the Router
This equipment must be earthed.
Follow these steps to install the router:
1. Read the safety information.
For safety information, see the Safety and Statutory Information booklet. A
copy of this booklet is supplied with each router, and can also be found on
the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM or at
www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/support/ar400/
2. Unpack the router.
Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact
your sales representative.
3. Place the router in its operating location.
See the previous Selecting a Site section for guidelines on choosing a
suitable location.
4. Check the supply voltage and the router’s rated voltage.
AR450S routers are fitted with a universal mains power supply that will
function over the range 100-240 VAC and 50–60Hz.
The specific power supply requirements for a particular model are clearly
displayed on the rear or underside of the router. If the supply is outside the
accepted range for the router, the router may not operate and damage to the
router may result.
