Functions and Features
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Midspan adds 48V DC to unused (nondata) wires (Mode B) in a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. As a
result, the PoE Midspan delivers both data and power to the terminal.
The device is designed to meet the IEEE802.3af standard.
Preliminary steps
• Ensure AC power is applied to the PoE Midspan using an
operational AC cable with an appropriate ground connection.
• Ensure that output Ethernet cable is connected to the
Data & Power Out port.
• Verify that a power ready Ethernet compatible device is connected.
Note: Do not use a cross over cable between the PoE Midspan
output port and the load device.
Mounting
Note the following before mounting the PoE Midspan to a fixed location:
• The PoE Midspan may be wall or bench mounted using the rear
side holes.
• Do not cover the PoE Midspan or block the airflow to the PoE with
any foreign objects. Keep the PoE Midspan away from
excessive heat and humidity, and keep it free from vibration
and dust.
• Ensure that the cable length from the Ethernet network source to
the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The PoE is not a
repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
• Use a splitter if desired, ensure that the splitter is connected close
to the terminal and not on the Midspan.
• There is no "on-off" switch, simply plug the PoE Midspan to an
AC power source.

Page 8 AXIS T8120 Installation Guide
Installing the Unit
1. Connect the PoE Midspan to an AC outlet (100-240 V AC), using a
standard power cable.
2. Connect the unit Data In jack (input) to the remote Ethernet
network switch Patch panel.
3. Connect the Data & Power Out jack (output) to the terminal.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Corrective Steps
Midspan does not power up1. Verify that an approved power cord is used.
2. Verify that the voltage at the power inlet is
between 100 and 240V AC.
3. Remove and re-apply power to the device and
check the indicators during power up sequence.
A port indicator is not lit
and the Midspan does not
operate
1. The Midspan did not detect a device and
therefore the port is not enabled.
2. Verify that the device is designed for PoE
operation
3. Verify that you are using a standard Category 5/
5e/6, straight-wired cable, with four pairs
4. If there is a connected external power splitter,
replace it to verify that it is functioning properly
5. Ensure that the input Ethernet cable is connected
to the Data In port
6. Verify that the device is connected to the Data &
Power port.
7. Try to reconnect the same device into a different
Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty
port or RJ45 connection.
8. Verify that there is no short over any of the
twisted pair cables or over the RJ45 connectors.
The end device operates,
but there is no data link
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.
4. Verify that the Ethernet cable length is less than
100 meters from the Ethernet source to the load/
remote terminal.
5. Try to reconnect the same device into a different
Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty
port or RJ45 connection.

Fonctions et caractéristiques
L'injecteur d'alimentation par Ethernet (PoE) ajoute 48 V CC aux fils non
utilisés (ne servant pas à la transmission des données) (en Mode B) d'un
câble Ethernet standard de catégorie 5. L'injecteur PoE peut donc
alimenter le terminal aussi bien en données qu'en électricité. Il est
conforme à la norme IEEE802.3af.
Étapes préliminaires
• Vérifiez que l'injecteur PoE est raccordé à un câble CA en bon état
de fonctionnement et correctement mis à la terre.
• Vérifiez que le câble Ethernet de sortie est branché sur le port de
données et d'alimentation de sortie.
• Vérifiez qu'un appareil compatible Ethernet est connecté.
Remarque : N'utilisez pas de câble simulateur de modem entre le
port de sortie de l'injecteur PoE et le dispositif de chargement.
Montage
Veuillez prendre note de ce qui suit avant le montage de l'injecteur PoE :
• L'injecteur PoE peut être fixé au mur ou monté sur banc à l'aide des
trous situés au dos de l'appareil.
• Ne recouvrez pas l'injecteur POE et ne bloquez pas la circulation
d'air par des corps étrangers. Conservez l'injecteur PoE à l'abri de
toute chaleur ou humidité excessive, des vibrations et de la poussière.
• Veillez à ce que la longueur de câble entre la source du réseau
Ethernet et le terminal ne dépasse pas 100 mètres. Le PoE n'est pas
un répéteur et n'amplifie pas le signal des données Ethernet.
• Le cas échéant, utilisez un diviseur et assurez-vous qu'il est raccordé près du terminal et pas sur l'injecteur.

Page 16 AXIS T8120 Guide d'installation
• Il n'y a pas d'interrupteur Marche/Arrêt. Il suffit donc de brancher
l'injecteur PoE sur une prise de courant CA pour le mettre en
marche.

AXIS T8120 Guide d'installation Page 17

Installation de l'appareil
1. Branchez l'injecteur PoE sur une prise de courant (100-240 V CA), à
l'aide d'un cordon d'alimentation ordinaire.
2. Branchez la prise DATA IN (données d'entrée) de l'appareil sur le
tableau de connexions du réseau Ethernet distant.
3. Branchez la prise DATA & POWER OUT (sortie) sur le terminal.
