4. Power Over Ethernet Overview
What is PoE?
Based on the global standard IEEE 802.3af, PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet,
the most widely installed local area network technology adopted today. PoE allows
the electrical power necessary for the operation of each end-device to be carried
by data cables rather than by separate power cords. New network applications,
such as IP Cameras, VoIP Phones, and Wireless Networking, can help enterprises
improve productivity. It minimizes wires that must be used to install the network
for offering lower cost, and less power failures.

IEEE 802.3af also called Data Terminal equipment (DTE) power via Media
dependent interface (MDI) is an international standard to define the transmission
for power over Ethernet. The 802.3af is delivering 48V power over RJ-45 wiring.
Besides 802.3af also define two types of source equipment: Mid-Span and End-
Span.

Mid-Span
Mid-Span device is placed between legacy switch and the powered device. Mid-
Span is tap the unused wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 to carry power, the other four is for
data transmit.

End-Span
End-Span device is direct connecting with power device. End-Span could also tap
the wire 1/2 and 3/6.

PoE System Architecture

The specification of PoE typically requires two devices: the Powered Source
Equipment (PSE) and the Powered Device (PD). The PSE is either an End-Span
or a Mid-Span, while the PD is a PoE-enabled terminal, such as IP Phones, Wireless
LAN, etc. Power can be delivered over data pairs or spare pairs of standard CAT-5
cabling.

How Power is Transferred Through the Cable

A standard CAT5 Ethernet cable has four twisted pairs, but only two of these are
used for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T. The specification allows two options for using
these cables for power, shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3:

The spare pairs are used. Figure 2 shows the pair on pins 4 and 5 connected
together and forming the positive supply, and the pair on pins 7 and 8 connected
and forming the negative supply. (In fact, a late change to the spec allows either
polarity to be used).

The data pairs are used. Since Ethernet pairs are transformer coupled at each
end, it is possible to apply DC power to the center tap of the isolation transformer
without upsetting the data transfer. In this mode of operation the pair on pins 3
and 6 and the pair on pins 1 and 2 can be of either polarity.

When to install PoE?
Consider the following scenarios:
ll You’re planning to install the latest VoIP Phone system to minimize cabling
building costs when your company moves into new offices next month.

ll The company staff has been clamoring for a wireless access point in the picnic
area behind the building so they can work on their laptops through lunch, but
the cost of electrical power to the outside is not affordable.

ll Management asks for IP Surveillance Cameras and business access systems

throughout the facility, but they would rather avoid another electrician’s
payment.

5. Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Industrial M12
Ethernet Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Industrial M12 Ethernet
Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.

The per port LED is not lit

Solution:
Check the cable connection of the Industrial M12 Ethernet Switch.

Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The Industrial M12 Ethernet
Switch is run at Auto-negotiation mode and if the partner is set to half duplex,
then the performance will be poor.

Per port LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular

Solution:
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use
a physical or software switch to change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not
recognize this type of full-duplex setting.

Why the Industrial M12 Ethernet Switch doesn’t connect to the network
Solution:
Check per port LED on the Industrial M12 Ethernet Switch. Try another port on the
Industrial M12 Ethernet Switch Make sure the cable is installed properly Make sure
the cable is the right type Turn off the power. After a while, turn on power again.

Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin assignment and color
as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
