In the majority of installations, the local module will derive all of its power successfully from the USB link with the computer system. However, if insufficient

voltage is available from the computer system, the green indicator	OTE	LINK
adjacent to the link connector will flash. If this occurs (or if you do
not intend to use the USB connection with the computer) you will
need to purchase and use a power supply identical to the one used
for the remote module from your Black Box stockist.
