under the lights.

The back panel of the devices consists of:
• Power Button—Use this button to turn the power on and off. It is not
applicable when using PoE.

• Kensington Lock Slot—Use to attach a cable and lock to the device.
• Reset—See “Rebooting the Devices or Returning them to their

Gigabit connectivity. You may use the Ethernet port to power your
device using PoE.
