Power over LAN Solutions 8 Cat. No.: 06-6800-056
2.2 10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition 2.2.1 Data Input Ports
According to the model acquired, the Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 10Base-
T/100Base-TX- data input ports, configured in a non-crossover manner
(straight-wired). These ports, shown in Figure
2-1 (bottom row of connectors),
are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over the standard 2-wire pairs
(pins 1/2 and 3/6).
2.2.2 Data & Power Output Ports
The Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 Data & Power ports also configured in non-
crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports are designed to carry Ethernet
data over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and DC power over the
spare pairs (pins 4/5 and 7/8).

A set of indicators provide the status of the Power over LAN Midspan and its
ports. Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for status information during operation.
2.3.1 Primary Power Indicators
Depending on the configuration ordered, there may be two LEDs on the front
panel, marked by “AC” and “DC”, to provide the Power over LAN Midspan
power status. When either one of the indicators is illuminated in green, the
Power over LAN Midspan is receiving AC or DC power. The “AC” and “DC”
indicators are lit in orange to indicate an internal fault. Refer to Table 2-1 for
additional information.
The Power over LAN Midspan is not a repeater. As such, the maximum distance from the
Ethernet switch is not to exceed 100 meters (328 ft). In accordance with the IEEE 802.3
standard, the Power over LAN Midspan is guaranteed to work up to this distance.
