Mounting the Device
The device is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. This is done by placing it on a shelf (not
supplied) in a 19-inch rack and then securing it to the rack's posts, using front-mounting brackets (supplied).
1. Install a shelf in the 19-inch rack on which you will place the device.
2. Attach the two front-mounting brackets (supplied) to both sides of the chassis. Each bracket is secured
to the chassis using 9 screws (supplied).
3. Place the chassis onto the rack shelf.
4. Align the holes of the chassis' mounting brackets with the holes of the rack posts, as shown in the
following figure. Secure the mounting brackets to the rack posts, using 19-inch rack bolts (not
supplied). Each mounting bracket is secured to the rack using two bolts.

Powering the Device
The device can be powered from a standard alternating current (AC) electrical wall outlet or a DC power
source.
1. GROUNDING: Ground (earth) the device by crimping an electrically earthed strap of 8-AWG (minimum)
wire into the grounding lug (supplied), and then attaching the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in
the following figure, making sure that the spring washer is located between the screw head and the
lug. Connect the other end of the grounding wire to the building's protective earth (in accordance with
regulations enforced in the country of installation).
2. AC POWER: For each Power Supply module, connect the line socket of the AC power cord (supplied) to
the device's AC power inlet, located on the rear panel. Connect the plug at the other end of the AC
power cord to a standard electrical wall outlet.

Assigning an IP Address
Use the device's factory default IP address (192.168.0.2/24 and Default Gateway 0.0.0.0) to initially access the
device's Web-based management interface and then change it to suit your network's addressing scheme for
subsequent connectivity.
1. Using a CAT-5e/6 shielded twisted pair (STP) straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect Ethernet
port GE 1 or GE 2 (located on the rear panel) to the LAN port of your computer:
2. Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the device's default IP address and subnet
mask.
3. On your computer, open a standard Web browser (for example, Google Chrome), and then in the URL
field, enter the device's default IP address; the Web Login screen appears:
4. Type in the default username (Admin) and password (Admin), and then click Log In.
5. Open the IP Interfaces table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > Core Entities folder > IP Interfaces).

the dialog box, modify the device's OAMP interface.
7. Click Apply to submit your changes; your connection with the device becomes unavailable at the
default IP address (due to the new IP address).
8. Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the new OAMP IP address and subnet of
the device.

components may expose you to electrical shock and bodily harm.
Make sure the device is installed in a well-ventilated location to avoid over heating of internal
components and subsequent damage.
Do not place any object on top of the device and make sure that sufficient clearance from the front and
rear are maintained to ensure proper airflow to avoid over heating of internal components.
Operate the device in an ambient temperature (Tma) that does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
The device must be installed only in restricted access locations that are compliant with ETS 300 253
guidelines where equipotential bonding has been implemented.
Operate the device only from the type of power source indicated on the chassis.
Installation of the device must be in accordance with national electrical codes and conform to local
regulations.
Use only the supplied AC power cord for connection to the power source.
The device must be connected to an electrical socket-outlet providing a protective earthing connection.
