Safety information
Take note of the following safety information during installation of the MSM317:
• If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be sure
all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
• Network cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (caused by
lightning or disturbances in the electrical power grid).
• Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.
• This product does not have a power switch. It is powered-on when the Uplink port is plugged
into a PoE power source.
