installation is subject to vibration, you may wish to attach the power cord retainer to the posts
on the power receptacle to hold the cord in place.
Connect the power cord to an AC power source, then power on the appliance.

The plug-socket combination serves as the main disconnecting device and must be
accessible at all times.
Verify that the LCD displays progress messages and the battery indicator lights green to show

Connecting the modem
Connect the modem port to a standard analog (POTS) phone line provided by your local
telephone company for out-of-band dial-up support.

control of the network device.
Each power controller has its own cabling requirements. Refer to the Reference Guide for
Uplogix Secure Remote Management Appliances
