3.2.7Connecting the STH to the Power Source

Note: The STH has a universal power supply which will accept power sources from 90 Vac to 264 Vac, 47-63 Hz.

To connect the STH to the power source:

1.Plug the power cord into the back panel of the STH.

2.Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.

3.Verify that the PWR LED is on, this indicates that the STH is receiving power.

3.2.8Attaching Network Cabling to TCU Ports

Twisted pair segments are connected to the RJ45 TCU Ports on the front panel of the STH. To connect twisted pair segments to the STH:

1.Insert the RJ45 connector from each twisted pair segment into the desired network port on the STH. See Figure 3-8.
