Hardware: Attach Logger to vNet Device
1 Remove protective label on the bottom or back of the Logger.
2 Connect the Logger to the vNet Device.
3 Connect the vNet Device to the Ethernet outlet and (if not using
PoE) power supply. When power is supplied to the vNet Device, the
red power LED light will blink for 7-8 seconds, then stay solid.
When a network connection is made, the red LNK LED should light
up and stay solid, and the green ACT LED should blink occasionally.
Note: To ensure a secure connection, insert the power supply barrel-
end connector into the Device and turn 1/4 to the right. If your
network supports Power Over Ethernet, you do not need to con-
nect to a power supply.
For more information about installing vNet Devices, refer to the vNet
User Guide.
