RADI FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
Class B Digital Device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telephone
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to connect this device to a personal computer or other
Class B certified device.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques
de la classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du
Canada.

The Port Utilization LEDs indicates how much traffic each port is handling, measured as a percentage of the port's
bandwidth. Column 1 corresponds to Port 1, Column 2 to Port 2, Column 3 to Port 3, etc. As traffic on a port
increases, the LEDs for its column will light progressively from bottom to top.
