If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the router.
For information about powering on the system, refer to “Activating the power source” on page 123.
Connecting DC power

DC-to-DC supply converts 48V-DC input from a power source to 12V-DC for your router.
