22 Connecting Interface Cables to the Device
Connecting Interface Cables to the Device
To connect the interface cable to a device, perform the following steps:
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the interface.
2. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the interface
faceplate.
3. Arrange the cable as follows to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress
points:
a. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to
the floor.
b. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop.
c. Use fasteners to maintain the shape of cable loops.
Connecting AC Power to the Device
The AC power cord shipped with the device connects the device to earth ground
when plugged into an AC grounding-type power outlet. The device must be
connected to earth ground during normal operation.
To connect power to the device, plug one end of the AC power cord into the AC
power appliance inlet on the back panel of the device and plug the other end into
an AC power source.
Powering the Device On and Off
To power on the SSG 140 device, press the AC power switch on the rear panel to
the on position.
ScreenOS boots as the power supply completes its startup sequence. The Power
LED lights during startup and remains on steadily when the device is operating
normally.
To power off the SSG 140 device, press the power switch to the off position.
NOTE: See “Connecting the Device to a Network” on page 23 for information on how to
connect the device to your network.
WARNING: We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection.
