2.1 Selecting a Power Supply Method

The SMC2586W-G can be powered by either the supplied power adapter or

the optional SMCPWR-INJ3 EliteConnect™ Power Injector. The SMC2586W-G

automatically selects the suitable power depending on your decision.

To power the SMC2586W-G by the supplied power adapter:

1. Plug the power adapter to an AC socket.

2. Plug the connector of the power adapter to the power jack of the

SMC2586W-G.

NOTE: This product is intended to be power-supplied by a Listed Power

Unit, marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and output rated “12V DC, 1.25 A

minimum” or equivalent statement.

NOTE: Units shipping to Europe will have a EU-type or UK-type plug adapter

added separately. The plug adapter simply needs to be inserted over the US

type plug to conform to EU or UK power specifications.

To power the SMC2586W-G by SMCPWR-INJ3 Power Injector:

1. Connect the power cord cable from power outlet to the SMCPWR-INJ3

power connector.
