2 About the Power over LAN Midspan

PowerDsine’s family of Power over LAN Midspans, series 6000, injects power over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. The PD-6006/6012/6024 Midspans, support 6, 12 and 24 ports respectively in a 10/100BaseTx Ethernet network, over TIA/EIA-568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. DC operating power, for data terminal units, is fed over unused pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5).

The Power over LAN Midspan normally powers devices that are Power over

LAN enabled or are equipped to receive power over Ethernet. These devices are called Powered Devices (PDs). Devices that are not equipped to receive power over Ethernet may require an external power adapter in order to be powered. Contact PowerDsine for such an adapter.

Power over LAN Midspan main features:

Remote power feeding of Ethernet terminals

Eliminates the need for AC outlets, local UPS and AC/DC adapters

Universal range power input (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and/or

46 to 57 VDC)

Power management

SNMP management (optional)

Independent overload and short-circuit protection per channel

Port status indications

Standard 19-inch rack mountable.

2.1 Power Management

When establishing a network, the total power required by PDs may exceed the total power available from the Midspan. The built-in Power Management feature will not allow the total power output to exceed the maximum power available (refer to the Technical Specifications). When the total power available is near maximum, attempts to connect an additional PD to a free port will cause the corresponding LED of the port to blink orange, indicating an outof-power budget. This port will not deliver power. Power distribution is based on “first come, first served” logic.

It is possible that connected and operating PDs will significantly increase or suddenly raise their power requirements. If the power required exceeds the power available, the Power over LAN Midspan will start to turn off ports, starting from the last port down, until the total power is once again under the maximum limit.

PD-6006/12/24

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 noncrossover 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).

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.

Figure 2-1: Power over LAN Midspan, Front View (PD-6024)

2.3 Indicators

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.

Power over LAN Solutions 8 Cat. No.: 06-6800-056

PD-6006/12/24

One bi-color indicator (green and orange), per port, provides port status:

Green indicates that the terminal unit has been identified as

"Power over LAN Enabled" and is active and receiving power.

Orange indicates that the port is not supplying power and is not active.

Refer to Table 2-2 for additional information.

Note Due to the standard detection process performed on each PoL port, power will not be supplied to an Ethernet device, that is not

PoL-enabled (indicated in orange or off). In this way, Ethernet devices (not PoL-enabled) will not be affected by this connection.

3 Installing the Power over LAN Midspan

PD-6006/12/24

As shown in Figure 3-1, the Midspan is connected in series to an Ethernet switch/hub. The data outputs from the switch are connected to the Midspan.

The Midspan delivers power over spare twisted pairs (pins 7/8 and pins 4/5) of the Category 5 cabling, without degrading the quality of data communications.

Most installations require the Midspan to be rack mounted, as described hereafter.

Figure 3-1: Typical Installation

3.2 Rack Mounting Brackets

The Midspan comes with 19-in. mounting brackets and screws. To install the Midspan into a 19-in. rack, first remove the selfadhesive rubber feet from the bottom surface. Install the brackets using two screws per side. Rack-mounting screws are not provided.

Figure 3-2: Installing Mounting Brackets

Power over LAN Solutions 11 Cat. No.: 06-6800-056

PD-6006/12/24

3.3 Connecting 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).

3.4 Connecting 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.

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.

3.6 Troubleshooting

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.

Power over LAN Solutions 12 Cat. No.: 06-6800-056

PD-6006/12/24

This paragraph provides a symptom and resolution sequence in order to assist in the troubleshooting of minor operating problems. If the steps given do not solve your problem, do not hesitate to call your local dealer for further assistance. Refer to Table 3-1.

Table 3-1: Troubleshooting Steps

Symptom

Midspan does not power up

AC indicator lit orange

AC and DC indicators lit orange

Corrective Steps

1. Verify that a known-good power cord is used.

2. Verify that the voltage at the power inlet is between 100 and 240 Vac.

3. Remove and re-apply power to the device and check the indicators during power up sequence.

Power-on self-test failed: the Midspan detected an internal fault. In this case, contact your local dealer.

Power-on self-test failed: the Midspan detected an internal fault. In this case, contact your local dealer.

A port indicator is not lit and the corresponding PD does not operate.

The end device operates, but there is no data link.

1. The Midspan did not detect a PD and therefore the port is not enabled.

2. Verify that the PD is designed for Power over LAN operation.

3. Verify that you are using a standard Category 5/5e/6, straight-wired cable, with four pairs.

4. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good splitter.

5. Verify that the PD is connected to the Data & Power port.

6. Try to reconnect the same PD to a different port on the same or into different Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty port or RJ-45 connection.

1. Verify that the port indicator on the front panel is continuously lit.

2. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good splitter.

3. Verify that for this link, you are using standard UTP/FTP

Category 5 straight (non-crossover) cabling, with all four pairs. Check that the link is 100 m or less.

4. Try to re-connect the same end device into a different port on the same unit or into different unit – if it works, there is probably a faulty port or RJ-45 connection.

PD-6006/12/24

Table 3-1: Troubleshooting Steps

Symptom Corrective Steps

Is it safe to keep the Midspan running while a port indicator is orange?

This is a safe condition. The orange indication is due to:

1. A device, not compliant to IEEE 802.3af, was detected.

2. Terminals 4/5 and 7/8 are shorted together.

3. Forced external power fed into the port.

During these conditions, port power is disconnected.
