Safety Information

Please read the following carefully before installing and connecting the
system to a power source.

Only qualified and trained service personnel (in accordance with IEC 60950 and AS/NZS

Note:

3260) should install, replace, or service the equipment. Install the system in accordance
with Country, National, or the U.S. National Electric Code if you are in the United
States.

Precautions

1. The building where this product is used requires a fuse or circuit
breaker no larger than 15 A for 120 VAC (U.S.A.) or 10 A, 230 VAC
(international). The building facility must protect the AXIS PoE
Midspans 8P/16P from over current or short-circuits.

2. Read the Midspan Hardware Setup procedure before connecting
the AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P to a power source (including
power cord requirements).

3. Do not operate the product in an area that exceeds the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of 104 ºF/ 40 ºC to avoid
overheating the AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P. Allow at least 3 to 4
inches/ 7.6 to 10.2 cm clearance around all ventilation openings.

4. Do not stack the chassis on any other equipment to support its
weight. Shelf mounted equipment requires a stable and durable
surface. Do not push or pull on the Midspan while installing.

5. The AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P consists of two rows of "Data”
and "Data & Power" ports. The ports use RJ-45 data sockets.
Connect only RJ-45 data cables to these sockets. Do not connect
telephone cables into these ports.

6. Do not work on the AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P system or connect
or disconnect cables, when there is lightning.

7. The AC or DC plug/socket combination must be accessible at all
times, as it is the main disconnect device to the product.

Safety Information Page 7

8. Before servicing the product, always disconnect the product from
its AC source.

9. Abide by appropriate National laws and regulations when it comes
to discarding this product.

Power Cord Requirements

Power cords must meet the requirements for the country they are used in.

USA and Canada • The cord must have a minimum of 10A rated current competence.

• The cord must be CSA or UL approved.

• The minimum requirement for the flexible cord is:

•18 AWG (10A)

• Three-conductor (line, neutral, ground)

• Type SV (Stranded Vacuum Rubber Jacketed) or SJ (Stranded Junior Rubber
Jacketed) or SVT (Stranded Vacuum Rubber Jacketed Themoplastic) or SJT
(Stranded Junior Themoplastic)

• The plug must be earth-grounded with a NEMA 5-15P (15A, 125 V) or
NEMA 6-15P (15A, 250 V) configuration.

Europe and South America Switzerland: The supply plug must comply with SEV/ASE 1011.

Denmark: The supply plug must comply with section 107-2-D1, standard DK2-1a
or DK2-5a.

United Kingdom: The Midspan is covered by General Approval (section 16.16.060),
NS/G/12345/J100003, for indirect connection to a public telecommunication sys­tem

France and Peru: IT equipment cannot power this device. In the case of an IT pow­ered device, the unit needs to be powered by 230 V through an isolation trans­former with a ratio of 1:1 and the secondary connection (Neutral) is properly
grounded.

• The Midspan must have access to a power outlet. Disconnect the power
cord from the outlet, to eliminate power from the device.

• The flexible cord that connects to the Midspan must have a configura­tion to connect with an EN60320/IEC320 inlet connector.

• According to the EN60950/IEC 950 specifications, this device functions
under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions. The conditions are
true if the equipment and the connected device functions under SELV
conditions.

• The AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P meet the UL/
cUL per EN60950 safety standard. This is dis­played in the back side of the product.

Data and Power Output Ports

The AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P Data and Power ports have straight-wire
configuration. They are designed to carry Ethernet data and DC power over
the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6; PoE mode A).

Page 10 Installation

Installation

Connecting Power Cables

The AC power cable is connected to the AC power connector located in the
rear side of the AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P and the power outlet.

Connecting Ethernet Cables

The ports in the product’s front panel are configured as ‘route through’
ports for all the eight/ sixteen RJ-45 connectors. Use Category 5 cabling in
making connections.

1. Connect cables from the ethernet switch to the data ports - on the
bottom row of the AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P.

2. Connect the cables from the IEEE 802.3af powered devices to the
corresponding Data and Power ports on the top row of the AXIS
PoE Midspans 8P/16P.

Powering Up

AXIS PoE Midspans 8P/16P are powered by the power cord. In order to
apply or remove power to or from the Midspan, connect or disconnect the
AC power cable to or from the AC power connector on the rear side of the
unit.

With AC power the unit starts-up and the internal fans are active. The
device runs through a quick power-on test, which takes less than 10
seconds. During this period, all ports are initially disabled and the port
indicators light up. The sequence of the port LEDs are shown in the section
below - LED Indicator. Ports now operate under normal conditions.

Précautions

1. Le bâtiment dans lequel ce produit doit être utilisé doit être muni

d'un fusible ou d'un disjoncteur n'excédant pas 15 A pour 120 Vca
(États-Unis) ou 10 A pour 230 Vca (international). L'installation du
bâtiment doit protéger le midspan AXIS PoE 8P/16P des
surtensions et des courts-circuits.

2. Consultez la procédure d'installation du matériel avant de

connecter le midspan AXIS PoE 8P/16P à une source
d'alimentation (notamment les conditions relatives au câble
d'alimentation).

3. N'utilisez pas le produit dans un local dépassant la température

ambiante maximale recommandée de 40 °C/104 °F, afin d'éviter la
surchauffe du midspan AXIS PoE 8P/16P. Prévoyez un
dégagement d'au moins 7,6 à 10,2 cm (3 à 4 pouces) au niveau de
tous les évents.

4. N'empilez pas le châssis sur d'autres appareils afin d'en soutenir le

poids. L'équipement monté sur étagère nécessite une surface stable
et résistante. Ne poussez pas ou ne tirez pas sur le midspan
pendant que vous l'installez.

5. Le midspan AXIS PoE 8P/16P comporte deux rangées de ports «

Données » et « Données & Alimentation ». Ces ports utilisent des
connecteurs de données RJ-45. Ne connectez pas de câbles
téléphoniques à ces ports. Connectez-y uniquement des câbles de
données RJ-45.

6. Ne travaillez pas sur le système midspan AXIS PoE 8P/16P et ne

connectez ou ne déconnectez aucun câble en cas d'orage.

Informations de sécurité Page 17

7. La combinaison fiche/prise CA ou CC doit être accessible à tout

moment, car elle constitue le principal dispositif de déconnexion
du produit.

8. Avant toute intervention sur le produit, débranchez-le toujours de

sa source de CA.

9. Adhérez à la réglementation nationale appropriée pour la mise au

rebut du produit.
