Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Snap the unit onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure adequate space around the device for heat dissipation.
• Power: Connect redundant power supplies to the designated terminals to ensure uninterrupted operation. Verify voltage matches the device requirements.
• Cabling: Use shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables for RJ45 ports to minimize EMI. Ensure FO SC connectors are kept clean and handled according to fiber optic best practices.
• Configuration: Use the console port or web-based interface to complete the initial setup and security hardening.
• Environment: Ensure the ambient temperature remains within the 0 Celsius to +60 Celsius specification to prevent thermal-related performance degradation.
