Step 3: Connect the Equipment
A. AC Power
Connect the power supply(s):
1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II, and plug it into an
AC power outlet.
2. For dual-power failover protection, attach the second included AC
power cord to the KX II, and plug it into a different power source than
the first power cord.
B. Modem Port (Optional)
Please see the KX II Online Help for information on connecting
modems.
C. Network Port
The KX II provides two Ethernet ports for failover purposes - not for
load-balancing.
By default, only LAN1 is active, and the automatic failover is disabled.
Enable network failover if you want LAN2 to use the same IP address
should the KX II internal network interface or the network switch it is
connected to become unavailable.
To connect to the network:
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network port labeled
LAN1 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or router.
2. To use the optional KX II Ethernet failover capabilities:
a. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network port labeled
LAN2 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or router.
