5. Oppsett og installasjon

The Allnet ALL95100 is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Proper grounding is crucial for its effectiveness.

5.1 Installasjonstrinn

1. Identify Network Cable: Locate the Ethernet cable connecting the device you wish to protect (e.g., router, switch, PC) to the network.
2. Koble fra kabelen: Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the device.
3. Connect Surge Arrester:
   • Connect one end of the existing Ethernet cable to one RJ-45 port of the ALL95100.
   • Use a new, short Ethernet patch cable (Cat 6, 7, or 8 recommended for optimal performance) to connect the other RJ-45 port of the ALL95100 to the network port of your device.
4. Jording: Connect the green/yellow grounding wire of the ALL95100 to a reliable earth ground. This is a critical step for surge protection. The grounding point should be as close as possible to the arrester.
5. Bekreft tilkoblinger: Ensure all network cables are securely connected and the grounding wire is firmly attached.

5.2 Tilkobling Eksamples

6. Bruksanvisning

Once properly installed and grounded, the Allnet ALL95100 operates passively. It continuously monitors the network line for voltage surges and diverts excess energy to the earth ground, protecting connected equipment. No user interaction is required during operation.

The device is designed to maintain full Gigabit Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) without degradation, ensuring network performance is unaffected.

7. Vedlikehold

The Allnet ALL95100 is a low-maintenance device. Regular checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance:

• Visuell inspeksjon: Periodically inspect the device and its connections for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Grounding Check: Ensure the grounding wire remains securely connected to a reliable earth ground.
• Rengjøring: Tørk forsiktig av enheten med en tørr, myk klut om nødvendig. Ikke bruk flytende rengjøringsmidler eller løsemidler.

In the event of a significant surge or lightning strike, the surge arrester may sacrifice itself to protect your equipment. If network connectivity issues arise after such an event, inspect the ALL95100 for damage and consider replacing it.
