of the NTC-6200 Series router under normal usage conditions. It’s important to note that this table serves as an indication only as
the power consumed by the device is affected by many variables including signal strength, network type, and network activity.

Installing the router
After you have mounted the router and connected a power source, follow these steps to complete the installation process.
1. Connect equipment that requires network access to the Ethernet port of your router. This may be your computer for
advanced configuration purposes, or your end equipment which requires data access via the NTC-6200 Series router. You
can connect one device directly, or several devices using a network switch.
If you’re using PoE as the power source, you need to connect any devices via an available data Ethernet port on your PoE
power source (be it a PoE network switch or PoE power injector).
2. Ensure the external power source is switched on and wait 2 minutes for your NTC-6200 Series router to start up. To
check the status of your router, compare the LED indicators on the device with those listed in the LED Indicators section of
this guide.
