Selecting a Location
The Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch, like other network and computing devices,
requires an “electronics friendly” environment.
z
Reliable power
Verify that your electrical outlet is compatible with the Alcatel Wireless LAN
Switch. The switch power input is auto-ranging and accepts 90~132/180~264
VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 4.0/2.0 A.
The power cords must be rated to 10 A and conform to grounded electrical
standards in the country where the product is operated.
Use of a power line conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can
decrease or mitigate problems caused by power service fluctuations. Verify that
the output of any power shaping device is compatible with the Alcatel Wireless
LAN Switch power supply.
z
Cool, non-condensing ventilation
For proper operation, the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch requires an environment
with an ambient air temperature between 0 and 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF). Humidity
must be kept at non-condensing levels between 5 and 95%.
Where a large number of electrical devices are working in the same area,
additional air conditioning or air circulation equipment may be required.
z
Ample space
For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance for the vents
on the left and right of the chassis.
Leave additional space in front and back of the chassis to access power cords,
network cables, and indicator LEDs.
z
Limited electromagnetic interference
For best operation, keep the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and all cords and
cables at least 0.7 meters (2 feet) from fluorescent lighting fixtures, and 2
meters (6 feet) from photocopiers, radio transmitters, electric generators, and
other sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
