About This Guide
1 About This Guide
This guide provides all the information you need to install and use the Ethernet PowerHub unit with default settings.
The guide is intended for network administrators responsible for installing and setting up network equipment; consequently, it assumes a basic working knowledge of LANs (Local Area Networks).
'Information in this manual is applicable for use with all PowerHub models, although the Ericsson PowerHub 4012 is used as the example.

Introducing the Ethernet PowerHub
2Introducing the Ethernet PowerHub
This chapter contains introductory information about the PowerHub and how it can be used in your network.
By connecting the PowerHub to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), the PowerHub provides a cost-effective way to distribute back-up power for Ethernet terminals. This capability increases IP telephony service reliability by ensuring that IP phones keep working in the event of a power failure.
In addition to greater network availability, the PowerHub reduces installation and maintenance costs by eliminating the need for the installation of additional power outlets. This is particularly true in hard-to- reach places such as ceilings, where other IP devices such as wireless access points or Web cameras are normally located.
The PowerHub sits in tandem to an existing Ethernet or Fast Ethernet and connects via standard CAT 5 cabling. This architecture also serves to protect customers´ investments in both CAT 5 infrastructure and in Ethernet switch equipment.
By sending 24V DC over 100 meters, Ethernet terminals, including IP phones, wireless LAN access points and Web-cameras can utilize power provided from the PowerHub.

Advanced Auto-Sensing Algorithm – The Ericsson PowerHub 4012 features a unique load auto-sensing algorithm that automatically detects Power-over-Ethernet compatible terminals and supplies inline power. The per-port, sophisticated power control and monitoring circuit enables fast installation while ensuring continuous proper operation of devices such as ordinary Network Interface Cards (NIC) that do not expect power on their Ethernet connection.
YEasy to Use - The PowerHub is a plug-and-play product. Once turned on, it will automatically detect all Power-over-Ethernet compatible terminals and supply inline power immediately. All port interfaces are located on the front panel providing easy access.
YCompact size – The standard 19”, 1.5U high PowerHub allows easy rack mounting while consuming minimal space in the wiring closet.
YConcise LED displays – The PowerHub provides real-time network monitoring through the front panel, including two LED per port indicating normal and overload or short circuit conditions respectively. Additional LED indicators are included for main power supply and internal self-test monitoring.
YWide Range AC Input - The PowerHub Power-over-Ethernet hub supports a wide range of AC input voltages at 100-240V AC and DC voltages at 24V DC.
YStandard Compliance – The PowerHub is fully compatible with the 802.3 standard when no inline is supplied. The 802.3 standard does not include specification for providing power over the Ethernet.
