2.2.1 Power Connector
Make sure you are using the correct power source.
The VES-1008 has a 12 volt DC power socket located on the front panel. This allows for the convenient placing
of the unit in locations where space may be a limitation. To connect the power to the unit, insert the round end of
the plug on the supplied power adaptor into the power socket on the front panel. Connect the other end of the
supplied power adaptor to a power outlet. Always use the ZyXEL supplied power supply as the VES-1008 may
be damaged if third party power adaptors are used.
