Caution:
Read the mark identifying a port before you connect a cable to it, making sure it is the
correct port. Wrong connection tends to damage interface modules and even the
Router;
Some protection measures are taken for Router 2 and 4-Port CE1/PRI MIM and
modules. Still, you are recommended to install a special lightning arrester at the
input end of the cable leading to the outdoors in order to protect the line against
lightning strikes more efficiently.
