1. The device is a power-required device, it
means, it will not work till it is powered. If
your networks should 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.
Power
Notice 2. In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Gigabit
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch
or the power adapter.
