it will not work till it is powered. If your networks
should active all the time, please consider use an
UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It
will prevent you from network data loss or network
downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device
may also help to protect your chassis from being
damaged by unregulated surge or current to the
converter or the power adapter.
Note
3. MC-700 provide 22watt total power dissipation, MC-
700 maximum allow installing 2 Gigabit Converter in
each MC-700.
