No. : 06-6800-056 PD-6006/12/24 2 About the Power over LAN Midspan PowerDsine's family of Power over LAN Midspans, series 6000, injects power over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. The PD-6006/6012/6024 Midspans, support 6, 12 and 24 ports respectively in a 10/100BaseTx Ethernet network, over TIA/EIA-568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. DC operating power, for data terminal units, is fed over unused pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5). The Power over LAN Midspan normally powers devices that are Power over LAN enabled or are equipped to receive power over Ethernet. These devices are called Powered Devices (PDs). Devices that are not equipped to receive power over Ethernet may require an external power adapter in order to be powered. Power over LAN Midspan main features: Remote power feeding of Ethernet terminals Eliminates the need for AC outlets, local UPS and AC/DC adapters Universal range power input (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and/or 46 to 57 VDC) Power management SNMP management (optional) Independent overload and short-circuit protection per channel Port status indications Standard 19-inch rack mountable. 2. 1 Power Management When establishing a network, the total power required by PDs may exceed the total power available from the Midspan. The built-in Power Management feature will not allow the total power output to exceed the maximum power available (refer to the Technical Specifications). When the total power available is near maximum, attempts to connect an additional PD to a free port will cause the corresponding LED of the port to blink orange, indicating an outof-power budget. Power distribution is based on "first come, first served" logic. It is possible that connected and operating PDs will significantly increase or suddenly raise their power requirements. If the power required exceeds the power available, the Power over LAN Midspan will start to turn off ports, starting from the last port down, until the total power is once again under the maximum limit. No. : 06-6800-056 PD-6006/12/24 2. 2 2. 2. 1 10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition Data Input Ports According to the model acquired, the Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 10BaseT/100Base-TX- data input ports, configured in a non-crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports, shown in Figure 2-1 (bottom row of connectors), are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6). Data & Power Output Ports 2. 2. 2 The Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 Data & Power ports also configured in noncrossover manner (straight-wired). These ports are designed to carry Ethernet data over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and DC power over the spare pairs (pins 4/5 and 7/8). The Power over LAN Midspan is not a repeater. As such, the maximum distance from the Ethernet switch is not to exceed 100 meters (328 ft). In accordance with the IEEE 802. 3 standard, the Power over LAN Midspan is guaranteed to work up to this distance. Figure 2-1: Power over LAN Midspan, Front View (PD-6024) 2. 3 Indicators A set of indicators provide the status of the Power over LAN Midspan and its ports. Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for status information during operation. 2. 3. 1 Primary Power Indicators Depending on the configuration ordered, there may be two LEDs on the front panel, marked by "AC" and "DC", to provide the Power over LAN Midspan power status. When either one of the indicators is illuminated in green, the Power over LAN Midspan is receiving AC or DC power. The "AC" and "DC" indicators are lit in orange to indicate an internal fault. [. . . ] Verify that you are using a standard Category 5/5e/6, straight-wired cable, with four pairs. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good splitter. Verify that the PD is connected to the Data & Power port. Try to reconnect the same PD to a different port on the same or into different Midspan. [. . . ]
