Dip Switch

1.Reserved: This switch currently has no function and is reserved for possible future use.

2.STD/High: When ‘Off’ this switch will set the injector for IEEE standard power injection (15.4W for 802.3af or 30W for 802.3at).

When ‘On’, the injector will provide non‐standard, high power (up to 36W for 802.3at). This high power setting may be required is connecting to more power hungry “speed dome” PTZ IP camera types.

3.2 Pair/4 Pair: When ‘Off’, this switch will set the injector for IEEE standard power injection (15.4W for 802.3af or 30/36W for 802.3at), over 2 pairs (4‐wires).

When ‘On’, this switch will enable power injection on all 4 pairs (all 8 wires) of the UTP cable. This is non‐standard PoE, but it enables an ultra‐high power capability for 802.3at, providing up to 60W of power. Ultra‐high power may be required by outdoor cameras that seasonally require fan for cooling in summer, or heater in winter to maintain proper operating environment for camera elements.

NOTE: When set to 4 pair, DIP switch no.2 is ignored.

4.A Mode/B Mode: In the default mode (A MODE) with switch 4 ‘Off’ the PoE is provided on the 1&2, 3&6 wire pairs.

When ‘On’, the alternative B Mode provides PoE on the alternate pins 4&5, 7&8.
