Installation Instructions

Setting up your new Pelco Midspan is easy. With plug and play technology, the Midspan is fully functional upon delivery. There are no additional firmware downloads or need for additional hardware.
Review all important safety instructions before setting up this Midspan. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in this installation manual prior to installation and operation.
1. Familiarize yourself with the Midspan. The AC power connector on the rear panel is C14 and requires a power cable with a C13 line socket.
2. For full functionality, Ethernet cables of Category 5 or better are required. Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors must be used to connect to the Midspan ports.
3. Connect power to the Midspan: Plug the AC power cord into the power connector on the rear of your Midspan.
Figure 1. POE8ATN/16ATN Rear Panel AC Power Connector
4. Start-up/cold start: Once the power cord is connected to a universal or redundant power source, the LEDs will illuminate in a specific sequence indicating power-up. On start-up, all LEDs should illuminate and the unit begins a cold start. The device runs through a quick power-on test that takes several seconds. During this period, all ports are initially disabled and the port indicators light up. After completing the cold start, ports will operate under normal conditions and the unit is ready to connect to powered devices. See the ‘LED INDICATORS’ section for more information about LED illumination during cold start.

DATA IN from the
Figure 2. POE8ATN front panel ports (POE16ATN has additional 8 ports)
5. Once the Midspan is powered up, you can connect the Midspan to the network switch and your end devices. Using a Cat5 Ethernet cable or better, connect a channel on the network switch to the Pelco Midspan using the bottom ‘DATA’ ports only. This connection will allow for data to transfer from the network switch, and then get transferred along with power to the intended device from the ‘DATA & POWER’ port.
5 C3932M (8/13)
6. After the link is established, connect the corresponding ‘DATA & POWER’ port of the Midspan to a POE compatible
Data from the network switch to Ports 1 – 8 ‘DATA’ IN (ports 1 -16 for POE16ATN)
Ports 1 - 8 ‘DATA & POWER’ OUT to end devices (Ports 1 – 16 for POE16ATN) Each port connects to a valid 802.3at load
NOTE: Ethernet cables from
end device through a CAT5 or better cable. This allows a data port from the network switch to connect through the Midspan to the end device and carry both data and power on the same network cable. It is important to remember the following:
a. Each port used on the network switch must be connected through a dedicated port of the Midspan. A single data
connection between the switch and Midspan is not sufficient for multiple device use.
b. The ports on the front of the Midspan are paired; a ‘DATA’ port is paired with a ‘DATA & POWER’ port for each
numbered port. This means that data coming into Midspan ‘DATA’ port 1 from the switch will be transferred out on the ‘DATA & POWER’ port 1. If a device is connected to a port without the data cable in the corresponding ‘DATA’ port below the ‘DATA & POWER’ port, data will not be transferred. However, power will be transferred.
The PoE end device and network switch must have Ethernet cables running to the same port number on the Midspan.
the network switch and to the powered end device must be CAT5 or better.
Each port is paired with a ‘DATA & POWER’ OUT

USB GUI PORT DESCRIPTION

The Port Description panel shows 24-ports. On the PoE Midspans that have 8 or 16-ports, the port numbers higher than the system port count will be shaded grey and disabled. Each section specifies the individual port descriptions for the system.
Figure 11. Port Description
Changes to the port configuration in this section can be enacted when the user clicks the “Send Port Control” button. It will send the port information to the μP for 24-Ports. Please allow the GUI 10 seconds to refresh when this action is taken.
Port Description – Click “Edit” to edit/change the description of the port. Click “OK” to set description on the GUI screen. If you click “Cancel”, the previous description will be set for that particular port. Click “Send Port Control” to send the
descriptions to the system. To make this permanent, the user must click “Save Parameters to Flash.”
Enable – This check box can administratively enable or disable the selected port. If “Enable/Disable All Port” check box is selected, all ports will be enabled. Initially, the check box is not checked, but by default all ports are enabl ed. Cli ck “Send
Port Control” to send the command to the system. To make this permanent, the user must click “Save Parameters to Flash.”
If the “Detect Legacy Signature” check box is selected, all ports are enabled and the firmware will try to detect legacy devices. By default, legacy detection is disabled. When the box is checked, the message in blue states that the “Legacy Detect is
Enabled” (Figure 11). Click “Send Port Control” to send the command to the system. To make this permanent, the
user must click “Save Parameters to Flash.” A “Legacy Signature” is an older device signature that predates the 802.3af
specification and typically contains a strong capacitance signature. Enabling “Detect Legacy Signature” allows for detection of older devices not compliant wit h the 802.3af spe cif ica tion. It is recommended legacy detecti on be enable d.
The colored indicators show the status of the individual ports. A ‘Yellow’ indicator shows the port is detecting or ready to be connected. A ‘Red’ indicator shows the port as Disable/Error. A ‘Green’ indicator shows that the port is connected to a compliant load.

USB GUI PARAMETRIC INFORMATION

This section allows users to review, but not edit, Parametric Information for each port.
Figure 13. Parametric Information
The Port Parametric Information panel has the following set of parameters that are displayed:
• Discovery R (ohms) – This value represents the discovered resistance (R) of the port in ohms.
• Current (mA) – This value represents the current (I) of the port in milliamperes.
• Voltage (V) – This value represents the voltage (V) of the port.
• Power (mW) – This value represents the power of the port in milliwatts.
• Class Current (mA) – This value represents the class current of the port in milliamperes.
• Determined Class – This value represents the class of the discovered device. NOTE: If the ports are less than 24-ports for the system, those ports greater than the total system port count will read all units
of measure. In the figure above, Port 5 is connected to a compliant load while Ports 1-4 and 6-8 are r eady to be connect ed.
