1 Introducing the BPS-120

The BPS-120 is a backup power system to which you can connect up to six of ZyXEL's
devices that have a 12VDC external backup power supply connector. The BPS-120
monitors the power status of the connected devices and immediately provides backup
power to a device that loses power or has a hardware power failure. The BPS-120 can
supply power to one device at a time.
