5. Hardware Installation
The following section describes the hardware features of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector. Before connecting any network device to the 802.3at PoE+ Injector, read this chapter carefully.
This POE-163 provides three different running speeds - 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps and the POE-165 provides five different running speeds - 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps/2.5Gbps/5Gbps in the same device for automatically distinguishing the speed of the incoming connection. Please refer to following sections for detailed information about the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet plus Injector.
5-1 Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check your network environment. If there is any IEEE 802.3at devices that need higher power to power on and work normally, the 802.3at PoE+ Injector can provide you with power for this Ethernet device easily. The 802.3at PoE+ Injector is equipped with an AC power cord with 100-240V AC input and injects DC 50-54V power into the pin of the twisted-pair cable (pair 4, 5 [+] and pair 7, 8 [-]).
If a power socket for the AC-DC adapter of your non IEEE 802.3at networked device is not available, the 802.3at PoE+ Injector and POE-162S can provide you with DC power for this Ethernet device easily.

The 802.3at PoE+ Injector and POE-162S can be installed in pair. However, the use of third-party device is allowed if the device complies with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet.
The 802.3at PoE+ Injector Installation
- Connect the AC power cord to the "AC slot" of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector; the "POWER" LED will be steadily on.
- Connect a standard network cable from a switch/workstation to the "LAN" port of the 802.3at PoE-Injector.
- And connect the Injector to a remote device like a PoE PTZ IP camera over the UTP cable.
** The 802.3at PoF+ Injector can directly connect with any IEEE 802.3at/802.3af end-nodes, such as PTZ IP and speed dome cameras, color touch-screen Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, multi-channel wireless LAN access points, etc. The installation is shown in Figure 3 below.

When the 802.3at PoE+ Injector detects the existence of an IEEE 802.3at/802.3af device, the ACTIVE LED indicator will be steadily on to show it is providing power.

- Since the 802.3at PoE+ Injector PoE port supports 50-54V DC PoE power output, please check and assure the powered device's (PD) acceptable DC power range is 50-54V DC. Otherwise, it will damage the PD.
- If the connected device is not fully complying with IEEE 802.3at/802.3af Power over Ethernet or in-line power device, the LED indicator of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector will not be steadily on.
The 802.3at PoE+ Injector and POE-162S, the IEEE 802.3at Injector Splitter Installation
- Connect the AC power cord to "AC slot" of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector; the "POWER" LED will be steadily on.
- Connect a standard network cable from the "POE" port of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector to the "PoE In" port of the POE-162S. The "ACTIVE" LED of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector and PoE-in-use LED of the POE-162S will continue to be lit.
- Connect a standard network cable from a switch/workstation to the "LAN" port of the 802.3at PoE+Injector.
• 10
- Connect the UTP cable in the package from the "Ethernet" port of the POE-162S to the RJ45 port of a remote device.
- Adjust the proper DC power output and connect the DC plug from the "DC OUT" of the POE-162S to a remote device.
- Power on the remote device and its power LED indicator will remain on.

- Owing to IEEE 802.3at/802.3af Power over Ethernet standards, the 802.3at PoE+ Injector will not inject power over the cable if not connected to IEEE 802.3at/802.3af devices.
- Please ensure the POE-162S output voltage is correct before applying power to remote devices.

The 802.3at PoE+ Injector and POE-E201 IEEE 802.3at PoE+ Extender Installation
- Connect the AC power cord to the "AC slot" of the 802.3st PoE+ Injector; the "POWER" LED will be steadily on.
- Connect a standard network cable from the "POE" port of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector to the "IN" port of the POE-E201.
- The 802.3at PoE+ Injector delivers both Ethernet Data and PoE power over UTP cable to the POE-E201 and the "ACTIVE" LED of the 802.3at PoE+ Injector and the "PoE IN" LED of the POE-E201 will continue to be lit.
- Connect an additional standard network cable that will be used to connect from the "OUT" port of the POE-E201 to a remote Powered Device (PD).
- The "OUT" port of the power injector transmits DC voltage over the standard network cable and transfers data and power simultaneously between the 802.3at PoE+ Injector and the PD.
- Once the POE-E201 detects the existence of an IEEE 802.3at/802.3af device, the "PoE OUT" LED indicator will be steadily on to show it is providing power.
