Setting up the Power Supply

Power to the IntelliJack is provided through one of the following methods:

■Over the network via an integrated switch that supports Power Over Ethernet.

■Over the network via an Ethernet multi-port endspan power supply.

■Over the network via a single-port Ethernet power supply.

■Locally via a 3Com local power supply.

NOTE: Power Over Ethernet, also known as in-line power, is a method to provide power to equipment over an Ethernet cable, allowing a device to receive both data and power from the same network cable. The NJ205 is ideally powered by a switch that is IEEE 802.3af- compliant. The NJ205 can also be powered by some switches that are not 802.3af-compliant. Consult the 3Com web site for more information.
