GE Combo Interface
A GE combo interface consists of an optical Ethernet interface and an electrical Ethernet
interface on the panel. The two interfaces have only one internal forwarding interface. The
electrical and optical interfaces are multiplexed, and only one of them can work at a time.
When one of the Ethernet interfaces is working, the other interface is shut down.
A GE electrical interface (10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives
services at 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, or 1000 Mbit/s.
The GE optical interface (100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives services
at 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s.
By default, a combo interface works as an electrical interface and uses an Ethernet cable to transmit and
receive data.

2.1 Preparations
2.2 Installing an AR532 Router
2.1 Preparations
2.1.1 Safety Precautions
Before you start the installation procedure, read all safety precautions described in this
document and observe any warning labels affixed to the equipment. Doing so will ensure your
safety and protect the equipment from damage.
Safety precautions provided in this document may not cover every eventuality, so remain
mindful of safety at all times.
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, operate or maintain the
equipment.
General Safety Guidelines
Always take precautions against ESD whenever you handle the equipment. For example,
wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap. To avoid electric shock or burn, remove
conductive objects like jewelry and watch.
After installing the equipment in a cabinet or rack, connect a ground cable to the
equipment. The ground cable must be connected first and disconnected last.
Environmental Safety

Do not install the equipment in an environment with flammable or explosive gases or smoke.
Install the equipment in a dry environment away from sources of water.
The installation site must be well ventilated to ensure normal operation of the equipment.
Electrical Safety
Contact with high-voltage power can be fatal. Misoperations on high-voltage facilities
may result in fire, electric shock, or other accidents.
Never install or remove the equipment and power cables while the power is on. The
electric arc or spark generated between a power cable and conductor may cause fire or eye
damage.
To protect personal and equipment safety, ground the equipment before connecting it to a
power source.
Mechanical Safety
Protect the equipment from collision during transportation and unpacking.
If damage is found on the shell of the equipment, which may be caused by collision during
movement or installation, contact the equipment supplier immediately. Do not power on
the equipment in this case.
Place the equipment on a shelf in your warehouse. Do not stack more than 10 boxes of
routers or more than 10 unpacked routers together.
2.1.2 Checking the Installation Environment
Before the installation, ensure that the environment in the installation site meets operation
requirements of the equipment.
The following table lists requirements for the installation environment.
Item
Requirement
Heat dissipation
There must be more than 50 mm clearance around the
