Warnings and Notes

These are how warnings and notes are shown in this User’s Guide.

Warnings tell you about things that could harm you or your device.

Note: Notes tell you other important information (for example, other things you may

need to configure or helpful tips) or recommendations.

Syntax Conventions

• The MES-3528 may be referred to as the “Switch”, the “device”, the “system” or

the “product” in this User’s Guide.

• Product labels, screen names, field labels and field choices are all in bold font.

• A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example,

[ENTER] means the “enter” or “return” key on your keyboard.

• “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and then press the

[ENTER] key. “Select” or “choose” means for you to use one of the predefined

choices.

• A right angle bracket ( > ) within a screen name denotes a mouse click. For

example, Maintenance > Log > Log Setting means you first click

Maintenance in the navigation panel, then the Log sub menu and finally the

Log Setting tab to get to that screen.

• Units of measurement may denote the “metric” value or the “scientific” value.

For example, “k” for kilo may denote “1000” or “1024”, “M” for mega may

denote “1000000” or “1048576” and so on.

• “e.g.,” is a shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.,” means “that is” or “in other

words”.

supply voltage (for example, 110V AC in North America or 230V AC in Europe).

• Use ONLY power wires of the appropriate wire gauge (see Chapter 41 on page 327 for

details) for your device. Connect it to a power supply of the correct voltage (see Chapter

41 on page 327 for details).

• Do NOT allow anything to rest on the power adaptor or cord and do NOT place the

product where anyone can walk on the power adaptor or cord.

• Do NOT use the device if the power adaptor or cord is damaged as it might cause

electrocution.
