PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide	Issue 2.2
	Part Number: PN378A

NOTE:

An important feature of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel is its ability to continue supplying Power over Ethernet during firmware updates. All IEEE 802.3af and Cisco In-Line protocol legacy powered devices connected to the Panel will remain powered during a firmware update. Cisco In-Line protocol legacy new powered device detection may experience an interruption during a firmware update.

Insure that the DPoE™ device is connected to a Network with the PC that has the Element Manager application running and has the device to be programmed discovered (see Device Discovery Section).

Detailed Description of the Firmware Update

1.Download the new DPoE™ product file from www.panduit.com/ManagedNetworkSolutions to a directory location on your intranet (internal network).

2.Start a local TFTP server. This may require downloading and configuring TFTP server freeware or shareware from the Internet (refer to the TFTP Server Install Document). Note: When configuring your TFTP Server, the TPTF root directory must point to the directory where the new DPoE™ product file is stored.

3.The Firmware Update option under the Tools pull-down menu opens a window that identifies the IP address, device type and device name. The window as shown in the EM Firmware Update Screen can then be used to initiate the TFTP firmware update by the user entering the firmware filename and IP address of the TFTP server.
