Power On
Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power connector of the Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet.
After the Switch is powered on, the LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators represents a reset of the system.
As a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the Switch. When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in.
