Installation

The RJ-45 DSL connector on the LB510A-R2’s twisted pair interface is polarity insen- sitive and is wired for a two-wire interface.

3.2 CONNECTING THE ETHERNET INTERFACE

This section describes how to connect the Ethernet ports to your network equipment.

The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-

age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechani- CAUTION cal serviceability.

The RJ-45 ports labeled Ethernet are the Auto-MDIX10/100Base-T interface. These ports are designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T device or network. You may connect these ports to a hub or PC using a straight through or crossover cable that is up to 328 ft long.

3.3 CONNECTING POWER

3.3.1 External AC universal power supply

1.Connect the power cord from the AC socket to the IEC-320 power entry connector on the universal input power supply.

CAUTION

The external AC adaptor shall be a listed limited power source that incorporates a disconnect device and shall be positioned within easy reach of the operator. Ensure that the AC power cable meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed, and that it is connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.

2. Connect the barrel plug to the Power connector on the LB510A-R2.

NOTE: The LB510A-R2 powers up as soon as it is plugged into an AC outlet—there is no power switch.
