The letters in thediagram correspond to the topics in this section that describe theconnection.A. AC PowerTo connect the power supply:1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II and plug into an ACpower outlet.2. For dual power failover protection, attach the second included ACpower cord and plug it into a different power source than the firstpower cord.Note: If you only attach one power cord, the power LED on the KX II frontpanel will be red because the system is set to automatically detect bothsources. See Power Supply Setup (on page 157) for information aboutturning off automatic detection for the power source that is not in use.B. Modem Port (Optional)The KX II features a dedicated modem port for remote access evenwhen the LAN/WAN is unavailable.
