4. Operation
4.1. Powering on
Connect the power cord to the device's IEC C14 standard power input connector. The
router is immediately powered ON when the power cord is connected to the AC source (on
Slim-matrices the power switch has to be in position 'ON'). If the self-test is finished the last
configuration is reloaded and the appliance is ready to use.
INFO
After switching ON, the router reloads the latest settings that were used before it was
turned off. The router has an internal emergency memory that stores all current settings
and tie configurations. This memory is independent from presets and invisible for the user.
This built-in feature helps the system to be ready immediately in case of power failure or
accidental power down.
