This is why NH-310H/S is designed to be a cost effective MDU and MTU solution. With plug & play, this simply eliminates the pain in modification and high infrastructure cost. With the data transmission up to 200Mbps and link establish under -145dBm/Hz noise floor, it meets the growing demand for high speed multimedia services.
Use ONLY the dedicated power supply for your device. Connect the power to the right supply voltage (110V AC used for North America and 230V AC used for Europe, NH-310H/S supports 12 VDC power input). Place connecting cables carefully so that no one will step on them or stumble over them. DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord and do NOT locate the product where anyone can work on the power cord.

The link is failed between NH-310H and NH-310S. The functionality of NH-310S is abnormal. Cause: The output level of voltage is too high for short connection. It must use the attenuator to be connected with MDU Concentrator NH-310H and End Point Solution: NH-310S to attenuate the transmission power level to -10dBm(5M-850MHz) at least.
