MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 Installation

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Wiring

PoE can be used to indirectly provide DC power to this 802.3af-compliant device via the unused wire pairs in the UTP or STP Ethernet cable (RJ-45 pins 4, 5, 7, and 8).

PoE power is overridden if a direct power feed (via the rear 2-pin PWR connector) is detected.

Any 802.3af-compliant PoE switch (such as the NXA-ENET24 PoE) can automatically detect the MAX device by its authenticated PoE signature and sense its required load before applying power to the PoE Ethernet port on a target device.

Ethernet LEDs

MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 units use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide 10/100 network connectivity to the network. LEDs indicate communication activity, connection status, speeds, and mode information as described in FIG. 7.
