Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Hardened Managed
Ethernet Extender.

Selecting a Site for the Equipment

As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be
subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:

• The Surrounding Air temperature should be between -34 to 60 degrees

Celsius.

• The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.

• Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic

field (RFC) standards.

• Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not

block the ventilation holes of the equipment.

• The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.

Connecting to Power

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 12VDC DC Jack:

12VDC DC Jack

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on
the topside of the Hardened Managed Ethernet Extender.

Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach
the plug into a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs

There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device. You only
need to have one power input connected to run the Hardened Managed Ethernet
Extender.

Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal block on the
Hardened Managed Ethernet Extender, and then plug it into a standard DC
outlet.

Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the Hardened
Managed Ethernet Extender.
