PD-3006/12

2.3.2Port Indications

The status of each port is monitored by a bi-color LED indicator (green and orange). Green indicates that the PD has been identified as "Power over LAN enabled", is active and is receiving power.

Orange indicates that the port is not supplying power and is not active. Refer to Table 2-2 for additional information.

In the event that an Ethernet device that is not Power over LAN enabled is connected to the Power over LAN Midspan (indicator is orange or off), the Ethernet device will be unaffected due to the fact that power is not being supplied.

PowerDsine PD-3012, PD-3006 manual Port Indications

PD-3006, PD-3012 specifications

PowerDsine, a leading provider of Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions, offers a range of innovative products designed to deliver reliable power and data connectivity over existing Ethernet infrastructure. Among its notable offerings are the PowerDsine PD-3012 and PD-3006 series, which are known for their advanced features, robust performance, and versatile applications.

The PowerDsine PD-3012 is a midspan PoE injector that supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, allowing it to deliver up to 12 watts of power per port. This makes it ideal for powering mid-range devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and Wi-Fi access points. It features eight output ports, enabling users to connect multiple devices simultaneously, which helps streamline installation and reduce cable clutter.

One of the main characteristics of the PD-3012 is its intelligent power management feature. This technology monitors the power consumption of connected devices, ensuring optimal power distribution and preventing overloading. Additionally, it employs short-circuit and over-temperature protection mechanisms, promoting safety and reliability in PoE applications.

On the other hand, the PowerDsine PD-3006 is tailored for smaller deployments, providing six ports with a power output of up to 15.4 watts per port. Like the PD-3012, it adheres to the IEEE 802.3af standard, making it suitable for a range of low-power devices, including networked security cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled peripherals. Its compact design allows for easy installation in tight spaces, making it a practical choice for both enterprise and home office use.

Both the PD-3012 and PD-3006 incorporate advanced technologies such as surge protection and automatic detection of PoE-enabled devices. This ensures that the midspans provide power only where it is needed, reducing potential damage to non-PoE equipment while maximizing efficiency.

In conclusion, PowerDsine's PD-3012 and PD-3006 series are exemplary solutions for organizations looking to harness the capabilities of Power over Ethernet technology. With their robust features, intelligent power management, and compliance with industry standards, these PoE injectors offer a reliable and effective means of powering modern network devices. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from small businesses to large enterprises, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficiency in network operations.
