Safety Warning
Purpose
This manual gives specific information on how to operate and use the management functions of this switch.
Audience
This manual is intended for use by netowrk administrators who are responsible for operating and maintaining network
equipments; consequently, it assumes a basic working knowledge of general switch functions, the Internet Protocol (IP),
IEEE 802.3at/af Power over Ethernet Standard and Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP).
FCC Warning
This device has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the user’s manual, it may cause interference in which case users will be
required to correct interference at their own expenses.
CE Warning
This is a CE certificated product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.
