Black Box SWI082 Power Supply Connection, Connection to Switched Outlets, Reset Unit to Defaults

CHAPTER 3: Installation

3.5 Power Supply Connection

Connect the Dual-Port Network Power Switch to an appropriate power supply.

CAUTION

This device should only be operated with the type of power source indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of power service available, please contact your local power company.

Reliable earthing (grounding) of this unit must be maintained. Give particular attention to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than directly to the branch circuit.

Check nameplate ratings to ensure that there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have an effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

3.6 Connection to Switched Outlets

The main power switch must be on in order for the Dual-Port Network Power Switch to operate. When the unit is powered on, the two AC outlets will be switched on or off, as specified by the user-defined power-up default (see Section 4.5). On SWI081A models (115 VAC), each outlet can switch up to

15 amps AC (total for both outlets must not exceed 15 amps). On SWI081AE models (230 VAC), each outlet can switch up to 10 amps AC (total for both outlets must not exceed 10 amps).

3.7 Reset Unit to Defaults

If option switch settings are changed, the new settings will not be applied until the unit is reset to default settings. There are two ways to reset the unit to defaults: via default parameters or via the default button.

NOTE

When these reset procedures are performed, all user- selected parameters, including passwords and port names, will be lost. Before performing these reset procedures, we strongly recommend that you save configuration parameters to an ASCII text file as described in Chapter 6.
