5. Hardware Installation
This IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High Power over Ethernet Adapter
provides three different running speeds – 10Mbps, 100Mbps and
1000Mbps in the same device and automatically distinguishes
the speed of incoming connection. Please refer to following
sections for detail information about IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High
Power over Ethernet Adapter.
5-1 POE-161
The following section describes the hardware features of POE-
161. Before connecting any network device to the POE-161,
read this chapter carefully.
Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check your
network environment. If there is any IEEE 802.3at devices need
higher power to power on and work normally, the POE-161 can
provide you a way to supply power for this Ethernet device
conveniently and easily. The POE-161 equips with an AC-DC
adapter with DC 56V input and injects this DC power into the
pin of the twisted pair cable (pair 4, 5 and pair 7, 8).
If there is very difficult to find a power socket for AC-DC
Adapter of your non IEEE 802.3at networked device, the POE-
161 and POE-161S can provide you a way to supply DC power
for this Ethernet device conveniently and easily.
Note
The POE-161 and POE-161S can be installed in
pair. However, the use of third-party device is
allowed if the device complied with IEEE 802.3at
Power over Ethernet pre-standard.
