3.3Connecting Ethernet Cables

The ports on the front panel of the Midspan are configured as "route through" ports for all eight conductors of the RJ-45 connectors. Use Category 5 cabling in making connections.

1.Connect cables from the Ethernet Switch to the Data ports (bottom row on Midspan).

2.Connect the cables from the IEEE 802.3af ready terminals (PDs) to the corresponding Data & Power ports (top row on Midspan).

3.4Connecting Power Cables

When using AC to power the Midspan, plug in the power cord supplied, at the rear AC connector. If DC is to be used (as primary or back-up power), connect the DC primary wiring to a Molex P/N 44441-2002 connector, with 2 Molex terminals P/N 4330-75/0001. Pin 1 is the positive polarity of the DC connector, at the rear of the chassis.

3.5Powering up

The Power over LAN Midspan has no on/off switch. To apply or remove power to the Midspan, insert or remove the power cable from the receptacle(AC and/or DC) on the rear panel of the unit.

With power applied, the Midspan powers-up and the internal fan operates; then, the device runs through its power-on self-test (POST), which takes less than 10 seconds. During the POST, all ports are disabled and the indicators illuminate in the following sequence:

1.Port indicators and power indicators (AC & DC) illuminate green.

2.Port indicators and the AC indicator illuminate orange.

3.Main (AC or DC) indicator remains lit green; port indicators are out.

Ports are now enabled for normal operation.

3.6Troubleshooting

3.6.1Preliminary Steps

If you encounter problems, check that: Power is applied to the Midspan

A crossover-type Ethernet cable has not been used

The Ethernet cable from the network is connected to the Data port The Ethernet cable to the PD is connected to the Data & Power port Cable pairs are attached to corresponding ports.
