Power is supplied via a standard 12V 1A barrel connector. At the back is a hard power-on/off switch and at the right side behind the grid a hard reset button.

It ships with a bootloader based on Realtek's SDK for RTL83xx SoCs and Linux 2.6 based on Realtek's SDK. It has a web interface for all management functions.
