POWER ON THE SOMAPORT
The SOMAport does not have a power switch. To turn it on, plug it
into a power outlet. To turn it off, unplug it.
To power on the SOMAport
1 Insert the connector on the power supply cord into the power jack on the
back of the SOMAport.
2 Insert the socket end of the power cord into the power supply’s receptacle.
3 Insert the plug end of the power cord into a power outlet.
The light on the power supply turns on when it is receiving power.
The SOMAport takes up to five minutes to start, acquire a signal, and connect
to the network. Wait for the network light on the front panel to turn green before
you attempt to use the SOMAport.
NOTE: If you ever need to disconnect the SOMAport, unplug the power cord
from the wall power outlet first and then unplug the connector from the back
of the SOMAport. DO NOT unplug the SOMAport if the Status light is
flashing amber. See “The Front Panel” on page 11 for information.
WARNING: Use only the power supply and power cord that come with
the SOMAport. Using another power supply may damage your
equipment and might cause shock or electrocution.
