Normally, the ground contact of the power supply system in a building wasburied during construction and cabling. Still, before connecting the AC-input power cord, you mustmake sure that the power supply of the building is well grounded.Connecting the AC-input power cordStep 1: Make sure that the PGND is securely connected to the earth ground.Step 2: When the power switch of the router is in the OFF position, insert one end of the power cordaccompanying the router into the power socket on the chassis rear panel, and connect the other end ofthe cable to an AC power source at your installation site.Step 3: Place the power switch of the router to the ON position.Step 4: Check that the PWR LED on the front panel of the router is on for correct connection.Connecting the Console TerminalConsole portMSR 20 series provides an RS232 asynchronous serial console (CON) port for router configuration,through which you can complete the configuration of the router.
