V4.5R90F02 (2020-02-28)
ADS NX3-M600A uses theAC power supply only, while ADS NX3-M1600E andADS M
NX3-HD2700 support both theAC and DC power supplies. The following sections describe
how to connect to the power supply.
3.2.1 AC Power Supply
For theAC power supply, the 100–240 V input voltage is appropriate toADS M. Before the
power connection, verify that the power supply specification is consistent with that of the
device room to avoid possible damage.
To connect theAC power cable, follow these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that the power switch on ADS M is in the OFF position.
Step 2 Connect one end of the power cable to the power socket on ADS M'S rear panel.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cable to AC power supply socket.
----End
3.2.2 DC Power Supply
For the DC power supply, the -48V input voltage is appropriate toADS M. Before the power
connection, verify that the power supply specification is consistent with that of the device
room to avoid possible damage.
To connect the DC power cable, follow these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that the power switch on ADS M is in the OFF position.
Step 2 Take out the DC power plug from the accessory box. The socket is as shown in Figure 3-2.
(The DC power supply module of ADS M has a plug and socket. The plug is included in the
accessory box, and the socket is integrated in the chassis).
Figure 3-2 DC powersupply module ofADS M
Step 3 Insert three leads of the -48V DC power supply into the three jacks on the plug respectively
(ensure that leads match jacks). As shown in Figure 3-3, the jack marked "+" is connected to

the anode of the power supply; the jack marked "-" is connected to the cathode of the power
supply; the jack marked " " is connected to the PGND cable.
Figure 3-3 DC powersupply plug ofADS M
Step 4 Insert the DC power plug into the DC socket at the rear panel of the DC power supply, and
fasten the two screws on both ends of the plug with a screw driver to tighten the power cables.
Step 5 For the dual power supply, repeat Step 3 and Step 4 to connect the other power cable.
----End
3.3 Connecting to the Network
Please connect the ADS M to the network according to the actual network structure.
Pay attention to the following during the connection:
Use straight-through cables to connect the switch to the communication interface of the
device.
ADS M can be deployed anywhere in the network. However, to achieve the optimal
performance, you are recommended to connect it to the switch in the backbone network
of the company.
After deployment, please modify network settings immediately to ensure smooth
network connections. For details on default parameters of ADS M, see appendix
A Default Parameters.
You can modify network settings at the following interfaces:
Console management interface.
Web management interface. For details, see chapter 4 Basic Configuration.

V4.5R90F02 (2020-02-28)
4 Basic Configuration
The device can operate properly after you complete simple network configuration and import
a valid license. The network configuration involves the following:
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
DNS server
The network configuration can be conducted on the console or web-based manager. Both
approaches require a computer and accessories (included in the accessory box). Choose an
approach as required.
To perform configurations on the console, you need to connect the device to a computer with
a serial cable. The console port rate ofADS M is 115200 bps. After login, you can perform
configurations by selecting menus. For details, see section 4.2 Network Configuration on the
Console.
To perform configuration on the web-based manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a crossover cable (included in the accessory box) to connect the working port on the
device to the network port on the computer.
Step 2 Configure computer-related parameters to make it on the same network segment as the
device. See appendix A Default Parameters.
Step 3 Log in to the web-based manager in HTTPS mode and configure the device. For details, see
sections 4.3 Login to the Web-based Manager and 4.4 Network Configuration on the Web-
based Manager.
----End
The certificate file can be imported only on the web-based manager. You are advised to import
a certificate file the first time you log in to the web-based manager.
4.1 Login to the Console
Before logging in to the console, prepare the following:
One computer
One serial cable included in the accessory box
