Port Numbers
The following table lists the port numbers for the NCITE-813AC:
Mounting the NCITE-813AC into an Equipment Rack
The NCITE-813AC occupies two rack units (2 RU) in a standard equipment rack.
Install the included rack mounting brackets using the supplied mounting screws
prior to securing the unit in the rack (FIG. 4).
FIG. 4 ATTACHING THE MOUNTING BRACKETS TO THE NCITE-813AC
CAUTION: The NCITE-813AC should not be installed in enclosed spaces. ALWAYS ensure
that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated. Do not block any ventilation openings.
It is recommended that you leave 1 RU of space above the device when you install it in
a rack. DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the device when it is rack mounted, as
this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.
ALWAYS ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated. Do not block any
ventilation openings. Sucient airow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air
cooling) to satisfy the ventilation requirements of all the items of equipment installed
within the rack.
NOTE: Connect the LAN port to a LAN with DHCP before powering up the device.
