Connecting Power and Turning On/Off
The AC Power cord shipped with the device
connects the device to earth ground when plugged
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 core into the AC power appliance
inlet on the back panel of the device. Plug the other
end into an AC power source.
Note: We recommend using a surge protector for
the power connection.
To power on the DSR-500/1000 device, press
the AC power switch on the rear panel to the on
position. To power off the device, press the power
switch to the off position.

WAN1 to the external router. The port WAN1
is pre-allocated to the WAN1 network segment.
2. Connect an RJ-45 cable from the port labeled
LAN (1-4) to a switch in the LAN network segment.
3. Connect an RJ45-to-DB9 cable from the
console port for CLI (Command Line Interface)
management access.

While the device has a default factory configuration
that allow you to initially connect to the device, you
must perform further configuration for your specific
network requirements.
