Limited Power Sources

The router should be powered by a limited power source complying with the
requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC) article 725 or other
international codes meeting the same intent of limiting the amount of power of
the source. Under NEC article 725, a Class 2 circuit is that portion of the wiring
system between the load side of a Class 2 power source and the connected
equipment. For AC or DC voltages up to 30 volts, the power rating of a Class 2
power source is limited to 100 VA. The transformer or power supply complying
with the Class 2 rating must carry a corresponding listing from a regulatory
agency such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

RESET SWITCH

To reset the router to its default values (except for configuration settings), use a
paperclip or similar tool to press the Reset IP button for at least 3 seconds while
the router is powered. Then release the reset button and remove power from the
router for 3 seconds. Restore power and the unit will now use default IP values
and User ID/Password which are admin/admin.
