Power
Notice
1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered. If
your networks should be active all the time,
please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent
you from network data loss or network
downtime.
2. In some areas, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Switch
from being damaged by unregulated surge or
current to the Switch or the power adapter.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the
network devices such as printer servers,
workstations, routers, etc.
Step 4: Supply power to the GSD-1603.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the
GSD-1603.
B. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to a
standard wall outlet.
When the GSD-1603 receives power, the Power LED should
remain solid Green.
