Notice
1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered.
If your networks should be active all the
time, please consider using UPS (Uninter-
rupted Power Supply) for your device. It
will prevent you from network data loss
or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppres-
sion device may also help to protect your
Switch from being damaged by unregu-
lated surge or current to the Switch or
the power adapter.
