Hardware Overview

Connecting the Hardware

Typically, the PES1A/PESV1A is connected to a network via a hub, switch or router using standard CAT-5 cable. Power must be supplied to the converter via the CAT-5 cable using Power over Ethernet. Configuration is accomplished over the network, or via a direct connection (see below) using the Web Configuration and Management Interface

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Power is supplied to your PES1A/PESV1A from PoE power source equipment (PSE), which must be installed within 100 meters of the converter. PSEs may be endspan or midspan devices. Endspan PSE devices may be switches or hubs with integrated PoE capability. Midspan PSE devices are dedicated, inline devices that are installed between your network switch and the PES1A/PESV1A.

For more information on PoE see Appendix C.
