SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE Connector Information Description Manufacturer P/N or Product Number Contacts 3-pin connector with JST-ZHR-3 SZH-002T-P0.5 crimp-style contacts (female socket) Restoring User Defined Settings You need: A pin, paperclip, or similar thin object that can fit into the reset hole. To restore user defined settings for an mPower device: Locate the hole in the panel labeled RESET. - Page 32 SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE For mLinux models: Press and hold the RESET button for less than 5 seconds, then release. Holding it beyond 5 seconds resets an mLinux device to factory defaults. The status LED will keep blinking normally for a couple of seconds until the unit resets. Then the status light will stay solid while the device reboots.

Page 33: Powering Up The Device
Use only the power cord provided with the device. Using any other power cord voids the warranty and can damage the device. To power up the device: Install the desired MultiTech accessory card or cards into the slots at the back of the device. Refer to the appropriate installation documentation for the accessory card. Note: Some models already have MTAC cards installed. - Page 34 REGULATORY INFORMATION Chapter 6 – Regulatory Information Conduit Regulatory Information For regulatory infomration please see http://www.multitech.net/developer/products/multiconnect-conduit- platform/conduit/conduit-regulatory-information/ ® Conduit Hardware Guide...
