Powering the 2CAN 2.0

Hi guys-

We got our new 2CAN 2.0 (after having a lot of problems using the serial to CAN last year) and I'm about to start hooking it up, however I have a quick, probably easy, question.

How do you supply power to it? I know it gets plugged into a 12V slot with a 20A breaker, but what connector do I use? It says it accepts a push-in type power connector that accepts up to 16 gauge wire, but what does that mean?

I'm assuming it is a bad idea to just shove some wire in there.
