Installing the Network Jack

Setting the Power Over Ethernet Dip Switches

If your network switch or power supply supports Power Over Ethernet, you must set the dip switches on the Network Jack to the appropriate setting: Capacitive Power Discovery/24V, Capacitive Power Discovery/48V, or IEEE 802.3af.

NOTE: If you are not using Power Over Ethernet to power the Network Jack, skip this section. Go to “Installing the Adapter Plate and Pass-Through Ports” on page 15 to continue.

WARNING: Before setting the dip switches, make sure that power to the Network Jack is off.

Do not change dip switches 1 and 2 from their factory default settings (OFF). Changing these settings may result in performance degradation.

1On the back of the Network Jack, remove the dip switch cover.
