Safety Approvals

 CE Marking
 FCC Class B

 FCC Compliance

This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or radiate radio frequency
energy and cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measurers:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with emission limits.

iv

Safety Precautions

Before getting started, read the following important cautions.

1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.

2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA342 before making any installation. Be sure both
the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components. Make sure the NA342 is properly grounded.

3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only
a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:

 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the

system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on your body.

 When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available

from most electronic component stores.

APPENDIX A

LAN BYPASS CONFIGURATION

About LAN Bypass

In network security application, it is very important to ensure that network traffic to continue
passing through the device even if hardware failure occurs or operating system crashes. LAN
bypass gives us a solution for this problem.

The NA342 series Lan bypass function is very flexible. It can be selected at any time and
any stage. You can enable LAN bypass for power on state by jumper, BIOS, or by software
program when entering into the OS. Moreover, for power off state, you can set up LAN

Bypass through BIOS, or use software program when entering into the OS. If you don’t do

any change, the state will keep the previous power off state.

The NA342 series have LAN bypass capability with the special designed latch relay circuitry.
When LAN bypass function is enabled, a relay closes to act as a bridge to route network data
flow between LAN port 3 and LAN port 4. The bypass feature can be activated immediately or
according to timer which is configurable from 1 up to 64 seconds. You can write a software
program to control bypass operation behavior to fit your requirement.

NOTE: If you need sample codes please contact our FAE directly, and they are for

reference purposes only.
