2.2 Site Requirements and Prerequisites

AC-powered IPmux-16 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 feet) of an
easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the required supply
voltage, in the range of 100 to 240 VAC, 16A maximum.
DC-powered IPmux-16 units require a –48 VDC power source (positive pole
grounded).
The DC power source must be isolated from the mains supply by double or
reinforced insulation.
Allow at least 90 cm (36 in) of frontal clearance for operator access. Allow at least
10 cm (4 in) clearance at the rear of the unit for cable connections. Make sure that
the ventilation holes are not blocked.
