PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

OVERVIEW

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, complaint with the IEEE 802.3af-2003 specifications. Each DPoE™ Power Patch Panel allows centralized powering of up to 24 devices, such as Internet Protocol-based (IP) telephones, Network Security Cameras, or Wireless Devices, over the same cabling used to provide the Ethernet connectivity. By eliminating separate power connections to each of the devices, the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel provides a more cost-effective solution, particularly in cases where the devices are numerous or local powering is impractical.

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel can be used in place of current patch panels to inject PoE power into an existing infrastructure without the need for separate non-powered patch panels (i.e., hub architectures), which decrease reliability while increasing cost and wiring complexity.

While the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel may be used as a standalone device, it can be configured and monitored from a centralized PANDUIT network operators to remotely perform routine maintenance and monitoring of any DPoE™ Power Patch Panels in their network. The EM allows operators to graphically view and monitor power panel status, fault conditions and per-port power consumption. In addition, the EM allows the operator to designate power priority to individual ports within each DPoE™ Power Panel. A higher-level Network Management System (NMS) might then use this pre-configured information to guarantee mission-critical devices remain operational in the event of low-power conditions.

Features and Benefits

The following table highlights some of the capabilities of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel along with the tangible benefit to the network operator.

DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Feature Benefit

OUT management

Powers up to 24 devices from a centralized location

By using PoE, a network operator can more cost-effectively power Ethernet devices up to 100 m (328 ft.) from the PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. Powering from a centralized location eliminates the need to power each device separately, eliminates the need for separate Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for critical devices, and allows centralized power management by the network operator.

Combining PoE Power with patch panel functionality

Other vendors use a separate “Power Hub” architecture, which doesn’t replace the need for additional non-powered patch panels. PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel combines these two functions into a 1 RUhigh package. This reduces needed rack space by at least 50% while providing easier installation without the need for patch cords between the Power Hub and a non-powered patch panel.

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Feature Benefit

IEEE 802.3af-2003 Compliant Many currently available in-line PoE

powering options are not standards-based, thus requiring coordination between each device’s power needs and the technical capabilities of the in-line powering unit.

Any port on the PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel can support the 802.3af-2003 standard or the legacy Cisco powering scheme.

Full power to all ports With all ports on the panel capable of

delivering full PoE power, there’s no need to load balance across panels, design special wiring schemes or leave ports unused in the panel.

Increased System Reliability The PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel

does not use an internal fan. Fans reduce the system reliability. In addition, the eliminated need for separate “midspan” patch panels increases the network availability.

Simultaneous support for the Cisco powering scheme along with the 802.3af2003 standard

Power Prioritization In the event of low-power conditions, a NMS,

Easier Local Management Multi-colored LEDs on the DPoE™ Power

By supporting both methods on each port, the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel provides ultimate flexibility without the need for separate panels for each powering scheme and without the need to install separate power modules. In addition, devices that don’t require PoE powering may also be mixed in the same panel.

working in conjunction with the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels, can use the preestablished port priorities to ensure missioncritical ports on the network of panels continue to receive PoE power as long as possible.

Patch Panel allow technicians to instantly know the status of each port. Additional LEDs reflect management and panel status. Identification labels on the front and rear of the system allow the technician to note the panel number, the port number and wiring scheme information for both the Ethernet and PoE sides of the panel.

Easier Remote Management The optional EM allows network operators to

easily view and manage a network of DPoE™ Power Patch Panels using industrystandard Simplified Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Feature Benefit

Easier Installation By eliminating the need for separate

midspan patch panels and the associated need for patch cord, in a network-ready 1RU high package, The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel is fast and easy to install.

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

Table 6: DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Power Up Sequence

Behavior as viewed from the back of the unit Behavior as viewed from the front of the unit

Both network status LEDs will light amber for two seconds

If there is no cable connected to the IN management port (Step 5 above), both network status LEDs will turn off.

If the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel is configured for DHCP address assignment (default factory setting), the network status LED above the IN management port will stay amber and the network status LED above the OUT management port will turn off. This indicates that the panel is actively requesting address information from the network. Once this information is received (this could take up to a minute), the network status LED above the IN management port will turn on or start flashing green as data is transmitted and received.

If the panel were set to static IP addressing rather than DHCP, the network status LED above the IN management port will immediately turn green.

The panel status Light-Emitting Diode (LED) will light red for about 10 seconds. After that, a LED test sequence of the port status LEDs will take place, lighting each port status LED amber. It will appear as if the port status LED is “walking” from port 1 through port 24.

If the Patch Panel is configured for Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) address assignment (default configuration) and a cable is NOT connected to the IN management port on the rear of the panel, the panel status LED will turn green.

If the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel is configured for DHCP address assignment (default factory setting), the panel status LED will flash amber. This indicates that the panel is actively requesting address information from the network. Once this information is received (this could take up to a minute), the panel status LED will flash green. (See page 5, Figure 1: DPoE™ Power Patch Panel

(Front View) and page 6, Figure 2: DPoE™ Power Patch Panel (Rear View) for a graphical view of the

LEDs on the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel.)

If the panel were set to static IP addressing rather than DHCP, the panel status LED will flash green and continue flashing as long as power is applied to the unit.

Basic Troubleshooting

Use the following guide to help resolve problems installing the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. If the problem persists, contact PANDUIT Corp Technical Support or a local sales representative. (See page 9, Table 3: PANDUIT Corporation Contact Information, for contact information.)

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

Table 7: Basic Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Possible Causes and Solutions

The panel status LED does not light when power is applied to the unit.

The patch panel status LED is flashing green but no power is being applied to the connected powered device(s). The port status LED over the port(s) where power should be provided is off.

The panel status LED stays solid red after power is connected and over 20 seconds has elapsed.

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel is providing power to the end device, but there is no data connection (i.e., the Ethernet connection is not working).

1. The power supply fuse may be blown. Check the fuse on the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel power supply.

2. The power connection may be bad. Check the physical connection and make sure the voltage polarity is proper.

3. No power is available at the panel. Make sure the power supply is plugged in and operational.

4. The keyed power connector is not seated properly. Reseat the power connector.

1. The device is not connected properly to the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. Make sure that the cable to the connected devices is properly terminated on the panel for the type of power needed (IEEE 802.3af-2003 or Alternate PoE)

2. The cable is not punched down securely. Repunch the 110 connections.

3. The attached power device is not 802.3af-2003 compliant or legacy Cisco compliant. Make sure that the attached device meets either of these standards. Also try to connect the device to another port to see if it powers on.

4. The port Administration Control setting is set to OFF in the EM. The Element Manager must be used to set the port Administration Control to ON. (See page 38, Edit Port Information, for more information.)

1. The power supply voltage is either less than 46 volts or greater than 57 volts. The panel should be immediately disconnected from power and the input power should be corrected.

1. The switch is not properly connected to the RJ45 jacks on the front of the panel or the switch. Check for proper connections and establish the connections or reseat these if required.

2. The switch port may not be active. Check with the local IT person to see if this is the case and correct it.

3. The data pairs (1,2 and 3,6) are not properly terminated on the rear of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. Re-punch the port(s) and test the connection again.

If a port is wired as Alternate POE, both IEEE 802.3af-2003 Powered Devices as well as legacy Cisco Powered Devices will be detected and get powered up. If a port is wired as POE, only the IEEE 802.3af2003 Powered Devices will be detected and get powered up.

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

OPERATION

LED Indicators

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel displays system and port status through the use of LEDs on the front and rear of each panel. There is one panel status LED on the front left of the panel, 24 individual port status LEDs above each port, and twonetwork status LEDs on the rear of the unit. These LEDs enable the technician to see at a glance if either the ports or the panel itself is in alarm. (See page 5, Figure 1: DPoE™ Power Patch Panel (Front View) and page 6, Figure 2: DPoE™ Power Patch Panel (Rear View) for a graphical view of the LEDs on the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel.)

NOTE:

Microsoft .NET Framework cannot currently be installed on 64-bit computers.

Installing the Element Manager Software

The PANDUIT® Element Manager is installed (or upgraded to a later version) by running the setup program on the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Support Tools CD-ROM, included with the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. Once the CD-ROM is placed in the personal computer's CD-ROM drive, the setup program will automatically run and will give the user the choice to install the EM software or choose from other selections. When selected, the installation software will first verify the necessary support software is available on the computer or will prompt the user to determine whether these packages should be installed along with the EM. (See page 19, Table 11: PC Minimum Requirements, for more information.)

Once all required support software is installed, the PANDUIT displayed (see below).

Element Manager installation screen will be

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

For security purposes, the network operator will then be given the opportunity to restrict the Element Manager to the administrator UserName only (default) or whether other users of this PC can access it. Once this selection is made, the installation process completes in only a few minutes.

Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and store it in a safe place.

NOTE:

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Support Tools CD-ROM also includes the option to uninstall the PANDUIT

Critical updates to the support programs may occasionally come from Microsoft Corporation. The Windows Update option from the PC’s START Menu can be used to periodically check for such updates.

Element Manager.

Connecting the EM Host Computer to the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel

The computer that hosts the EM can either be directly connected to the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel or connected through the Ethernet network. If the PC is directly connected to the DPoE™ Power Patch

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

Panel, the PC must either be setup as a DHCP Server or the panel but be setup for a static IP address. If the PC is connected to the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel through an Ethernet network, the network must have a DHCP Server on it or the panel must be setup for a static IP address. Once the PC is logically connected to the first DPoE™ Power Patch Panel, successive panels may be daisy chained to the previous panel by connecting the OUT management port on that panel to the IN port on the next panel. These connections are made via a RJ-45 standard patch cord. (See page 8, INSTALLATION, for more information on daisy chaining the panels together.)

NOTE:

IMPORTANT:

There is no need to connect the OUT management port on the last DPoE™ Power Patch Panel in the daisy chain to anything.

Directly connecting a PC to the panel will either require the PC to be setup as a DHCP Server or require the DPOE™ Power Patch Panel to be setup for static IP addressing. The panel factory default setting is DHCP addressing.

If a panel is changed to static IP addressing, make sure the static IP address is recorded; no communication to the DPOE™ Power Patch Panel can be done without this address.

Never connect a PC setup as a DHCP Server to an Ethernet network that already has a DHCP Server on it.

Element Manager Operation

Once the EM is successfully installed, access the program using the shortcut installed on the desktop by the EM installation software. (The program is stored in the Panduit directory under the programs directory and can also be accessed through the START menu.)

After displaying the version number of the EM, the user is prompted for a UserName and password.

NOTE:

When the management system is first installed, the default UserName is administrator with a password of Panduit (notice the capital “P”).

Passwords are case-sensitive.

This default UserName and Password should be changed once the user is familiar with the EM software. (See page 24, Additions or Changes to UserName/Password, for more information.)

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

Some of the screen shots in this section may look different on the PC running the EM. The updated EM presents a slightly different look to the screen shots. In some cases, additional features have been added (refer to the same sections in the DPoE™ 8 Port Power Hub User’s Guide for more details on the added features).

Figure 3: System-Level Opening Screen

The system-level opening screen is broken into three areas: the Tree View of the Network area, the List View of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels and the Message Log area. By working in each of these three areas, the network operator can easily monitor the overall status of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel network, the status of individual patch panels, or the status of individual ports on individual panels. Likewise, configuration changes can be made at the network, panel or port level.

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

The Tree View of the Network area provides a hierarchical display of each patch panel within the network using the configurable names assigned by the network operator. Multiple patch panels physically wired into a single rack are grouped on the screen under the configurable name of that rack. Using the computer mouse, the operator can select a specific rack, and the display will expand to show the individuals panels within that rack.

When the operator selects an individual rack, the EM automatically displays the information for each DPoE™ Power Patch Panel within that rack in the List View area (top right). Likewise, all log messages relating to that rack are automatically displayed in the Message Log area (bottom right). These messages indicate any conditions with the rack itself, the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels on that rack or individual ports on individual panels within that rack.

If the operator selects an individual panel from the Tree View of the network area, a second screen, which overlays the Message Log and List View areas, allows the operator to configure and monitor a specific DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. (See page 33, Figure 4: View Panel Screen, for more information.)

In addition to the three areas on the system-level opening screen, the EM provides the following conveniences on this system-level opening screen.

 Tool Bars – The most frequently performed actions are assigned buttons on the two tool bars to

speed with assigning ports and panels, adding users to the management system, filtering incoming messages for trouble isolation etc.

 Pull-Down Menus – All functions available through the tool bars are also available through the

pull-down menus, but, in addition, network-wide functions, such as copying panel information from an existing panel to a new panel is also available.

Maintenance of UserNames is done by first clicking an existing Username, then clicking on either the Remove button to delete that UserName or the Properties button to have the following screen appear.

After any changes are made, use the Close button to return to the system-level opening screen.

NOTE:

Passwords are case-sensitive. Users must enter the password exactly as the network operator assigned it.

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

NOTE:

A user cannot delete a currently active UserName.

Panel Discovery

Once the EM is connected into the network, the Discover capability can be used to "find" the deployed DPoE™ Power Patch Panels. (See page 21, Connecting the EM Host Computer to the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel, for more information.) The EM initiates messages into the control network and requests responses from any panels that see this message.

NOTE:

The Discover the top tool bar on the system-level opening screen.

Unless the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel has been configured during installation using the EM, this Discover capability will only receive the configuration and existence of the DPoE™ Power Patch panels themselves. The network operator will still need to enter port and rack information, such as which racks the panels are wired into and where in each rack the panel is physically mounted. (This information can be colleted by using the included PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Installation Worksheet during installation.)

When installing multiple panels simultaneously, it is very important to record the MAC address for each panel. Since multiple panels will return the same factory default settings to the Discover capability, the MAC address, which is written on a sticker on the back of each DPoE™ Power Patch Panel, is unique and will allow the network operator to distinguish one panel from another. (See page 8, INSTALLATION, for more information on installing the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels.)

Whether a subnetwork search or an IP range search was conducted, the discovered DPoE™ Power Patch Panel information will be populated in the Element Manager.

TIP:

Provisioning the Panel

The Element Manager has the capability to discover all of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels in the network and display them in a format where the panels are grouped by their host racks based on the information entered into the panels during the provisioning process. These are called the Panel Attributes.

Identifying each panel individually and entering these attributes are a key part of the provisioning activity that allows the Element Manager and other Network Management Systems to be used in an easy and effective manner. It is highly recommended that the following procedure be used to provision the panel properly:

In addition to the Discover capability, the Element Manager also supports a Refresh capability, which collects the information stored in each Patch Panel and verifies it’s consistent with the information in the EM. (See page 43, Refresh the Network, for more information.)

1. During the installation of each DPoE™ Power Patch Panel, it is important to record the MAC address of the panel. This is needed since this is the only unique identification of the panels once they are placed into your network. An installation worksheet is provided to record this and other important information. A bar code of the MAC is also provided that allows a bar code reader to record this information automatically. The MAC and bar code for the MAC are found on the rear of the panel near the management ports.

2. Once the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel is connected to the network and power is applied, the panel will obtain an IP address via DHCP. This will take 1-2 minutes depending on your network and DHCP server settings.

3. Using the Discover capability of the Element Manager, search the subnet where the panels have been installed for the panels.

4. When the panels are discovered they will appear in a table as shown below:

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2 Part Number: PN378A

5. The table contains the MAC and IP address of the all of the panels. The message log will include the MAC and IP address of the newly discovered panel(s). The MAC Address can now be used to associate the discovered panel with the information contained on the installation worksheet, and the Panel Attributes can now be entered.

6. Double-click on the row in the table containing the first newly discovered panel. After the panel information is gathered from the panel, the View Panel Screen will open and will look like this:

Part Number: PN378A

The panel name, rack name, rack space position, and contact name should be entered here as shown above. The Element Manager will create a rack with that name, and any panel that has the same rack name will be grouped under that rack. This screen also includes a place to record the name and location information of the power system for this

Note that the Panel Physical entry allows a large amount of information to be entered, which includes additional physical and geographic information for this panel. This should also be filled out per the example below:

DPoE™ Power Patch Panel.

PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2

8. Once all of the information is entered, click the Save button and this information will be saved to the panel and the graphic for the rack will be shown in the Element Manager Tree View of the Network area along with a graphical representation of the panel with the proper name. (See page 23,

Figure 3: System-Level Opening Screen, for more information.)

9. Other newly discovered panels can be easily provisioned by copying the Panel Attributes from this panel, and making changes where needed for the new rack names, rack positions, panel name, etc. This can be done by selecting the table row with the last provisioned panel, rightclicking, and choosing “Copy Panel”. Select the next panel to be provisioned by highlighting the row of the panel, right clicking, and choosing “Paste Panel." All of the Panel Attributes will be applied to the new panel. Select “Edit Panel” and edit Panel Attributes and make the appropriate modifications.

10. The previous step should be repeated for each panel in the network until all the panels have been provisioned. Once this is done, the Element Manager can easily manage all of the powered devices using the more intuitive physical location information that is stored in each panel.

− Panel IP Address

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panels come with a factory setting of DHCP address assignment. After the panel is connected to the EM, the network administrator may change this setting by adding an IP address consistent with the rest of his/her network. The Gateway gateway. If the EM and the or if the SMTP server is on a different network from the panel, the panel will send those messages to the gateway IP address specified.

panels wired in a single rack will be displayed consistent with the value in the Rack Space Position field. (See page 29, Provisioning the Panel, for more information.)

Once these values are set in the EM, this information will be transmitted and stored in the

DPoE™ Power Patch Panels.

Two additional fields are available on this screen and affect the operation of the panel. The first field, the Power Threshold the available power for this panel as a percentage of the maximum power the panel can support. For example, although the panel can support 480 watts, panels that use external power supplies, rather than a direct 48-volt input, are not normally capable of supplying 480 watts of power. Therefore, the Power Threshold panel might be set at 30%. And the Power Warning Threshold, which tells the panel when to send an alarm messages, might be set at 10%, so that the panel starts alarming when it reaches 90% of this particular panel's maximum. (See page 47,
