2 About the Power over Ethernet

Midspan

PowerDsine’s Midspans family, injects DC power over data-carrying Ethernet
cabling. The PD-6548 Midspan, supports 48 ports in a 10/100BaseTx Ethernet
network, over TIA/EIA-568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. DC operating power, for
data terminal units, is fed over the unused pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5).

The Midspan powers devices that are Power over Ethernet enabled, or are
equipped to receive power over Ethernet. These devices are called Powered
Devices (PDs). Devices that are not equipped to receive power over Ethernet,
may require an external power adapter in order to be powered. Contact
PowerDsine for such an adapter.

The Power over Ethernet Midspan main features are as follows:

 Remote power feeding over standard Ethernet ports
 Eliminates the need for AC outlets, local UPS & AC/DC adapters

near PDs

 Universal range power input (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz)
 Power management
 Remote Web manager (optional)
 Overload and short-circuit protection per channel
 Port status indications
 Standard 19-inch rack mountable

2.1 Power Management

When establishing a network, the total power required by PDs may exceed the
total power available from the Midspan. The built-in Power Management
feature does not allow the total power output to exceed the maximum power
available (refer to the Technical Specifications). When the total power
available is close to the maximum value, attempts to connect an additional PD
to a free port cause the corresponding port LED to blink green at an 0.5 sec.
rate, indicating an out-of-power budget, thus, this port will not deliver power.
The power distribution method is based on “First Come, First Served” logic.

Sometimes, connected operating PDs significantly increase or suddenly raise
their power requirements. If the required power exceeds the available power,
the Power over Ethernet Midspan starts to turn off ports in accordance with
their priority (the first turned off port is the lower priority port) until the total
power is once again under the maximum limit. Default priority is establishid by
port number: the higher the port number is, the lower priority it gets.

PD-6548

Power over Ethernet Solutions 11 Cat. No.: 06-6860-056

2.2 10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition

2.2.1 Data Input Ports

The Midspan has 48 10/100Base-TX data input ports, configured in a non­crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports located on the PoE’s rear
panel of front box, are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over the
standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and are typically connected to existing
Etherner switch.

2.2.2 Data & Power Output Ports

The Midspan has 48 Data & Power output ports, located on the front panel
(Figure

2-1). These ports are configured in a non-crossover manner (straight-

wired) and are designed to carry Ethernet data over the standard 2-wire pairs
(pins 1/2 and 3/6) and DC power over the spare pairs (pins 4/5 and 7/8). Each
output port corresponds to an opposite

input port located on the rear panel.

Figure 2-1: Power over Ethernet Midspan, Front View

Figure 2-2: Power over Ethernet Midspan, Rear View

The Midspan is not a repeater. As such, the maximum distance from the Ethernet switch to
PDs should not exceed 100 meters (328 ft). In accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard,

PD-6548

Power over Ethernet Solutions 12 Cat. No.: 06-6860-056

2.3 Indicators

A set of indicators provide the status of the Power over Ethernet Midspan and
its ports. Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for status information during
operation.

2.3.1 Primary Power Indicators

A Primary Power LED (labled “AC”) is located on the front panel; the LED
provides Power over Ethernet Midspan power status.

When the indicator illuminates in green, it means that the Midspan receives
AC power. The “AC” indicator lits in orange to indicate Built In test failure.
Refer to Table 2-1: for additional information.

2.3.2 Port Indicators

One uni-color indicator (green) per port provides po rt status:

 Green indicates that the PD (Powered Device)

is identified as "Power over Ethernet Enabled",
is active and receives power.

 Blinking green indicates that the power is not

delivered to a specific port.

Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for additional information.

Note Due to the standard detection process performed on

each PoE port, power is not supplied to an Ethernet
device that is not PoE-enabled. In this way, PDs (non
PoE -enabled) are not affected by connection to
Midspan’s output port.

3.3 Routing the Input Ports Cables

The ports on the front panel of the Midspan are configured as "Pass
Through" ports for all 48 conductors of the RJ-45 connectors. Use
Category 5 jumpers cables with a diameter that is less than 0.25 inch in
making connections.

*Using an appropriate bench, connect all the cables to the Midspan as

follows:

1. Connect cables to the Data input ports as shown below:

2. Start connecting the cables in groups of six as shown above.
For proper wiring, each group should be tied using plastic
straps. The cables should be routed via the side path to the
Midspan’s front side. Every two groups should be tied together
to chasis ‘ears’ as shown above.

3. Repeat the above mentioned procedure for the rest of the
cables, thus 24 cables are routed via left/right side path.

*Midspan cables connection may also be performed by firstly assembling the

midspan to the rack by the brackets. In such a case take all necessary
precautions to prevent the Midspan from falling down to the floor!

blocked and are free of dust and foreign objects!

PD-6548

Power over Ethernet Solutions 22 Cat. No.: 06-6860-056

3.5 Connecting Data Cables

1. Connect the previously routed cables to the switch’s output ports.

2. Connect the cables from the IEEE 802.3af ready terminals (PDs)
to the corresponding Data & Power ports on the Midspan’s front
panel.

3.6 Connecting Power Cables

When using AC source to power the Midspan, plug in the provided power
cord at the rear AC connector.

Notes:

♦ A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the

building installation wiring.

♦ The PD-6548 Midspan should be installed at Restricted Access Location

3.7 Powering up

The Power over Ethernet Midspan has no on/off switch. To apply or
remove power to the Midspan, insert or remove the power cable from the
AC receptacle on the rear panel of the unit.

With power applied, the Midspan powers-up and the internal fan
operates; then, the device runs through its power-on self-test (POST),
which takes less than 10 seconds. During the POST, all ports are
disabled and the indicators illuminate in the following sequence:

1. AC indicator illuminates orange

2. Port indicators and AC power indicator illuminate green.

3. Main AC indicator remains lit green; port indicators are off.

Ports are now enabled for normal operation.

PD-6548

Power over Ethernet Solutions 23 Cat. No.: 06-6860-056

3.8 Troubleshooting

3.8.1 Preliminary Steps

If you encounter problems, verify that:

1. Power is applied to the Midspan

2. A crossover-type Ethernet cable has not been used

3. The Ethernet cable from the network is connected to the Data
input port

4. The Ethernet cable to the PD is connected to the Data & Power
output port

3.8.2 Troubleshooting Guide

This paragraph provides a symptom and resolution sequence in order to
assist in the troubleshooting of minor operating problems. If the steps
given do not solve your problem, do not hesitate to call your local dealer
for further assistance. Refer to Table 3-1.

Table 3-1: Troubleshooting Steps

Symptom Corrective Steps

Midspan does not power
up

1. Verify that a known-good power cord is used.

2. Verify that the voltage at the power inlet is between 100 and 240 Vac.

3. Remove and re-apply power to the device and check the indicators
during power up sequence as described in Para. 3.7.

A port indicator is not lit
and the corresponding PD
does not operate.

1. The Midspan did not detect a PD and therefore the port is not enabled.

2. Verify that the PD is designed for Power over Ethernet operation.

3. Verify that you are using a standard Category 5/5e/6, straight-wired
cable, with four pairs.

4. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good
splitter.

5. Verify that the PD is connected to the Data & Power output port.

6. Try to reconnect the same PD to a different port on the same or into
another Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty output port or
RJ-45 connection.

7. Verify that port shutdown command was not issued via the Web
manaegment.

Verify that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

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. Check that the
link is 100 m or less.

4. Try to re-connect the same end device into a different port on the
same unit or into another Midspan – if it works, there is probably a
faulty input/output port, or RJ-45 connection.

Midspan port indicator
is blinking at a 1 sec.
rate

This is a safe condition. The blinking green indication is due to:

1. A device, not compliant to IEEE 802.3af, was detected.

2. Terminals 4/5 and 7/8 are shorted together.

3. Forced external power fed into the port.

During these conditions, port power is disconnected.

Midspan port indicator
is blinking at a 0.5 sec.
rate

This is a safe condition. The blinking green indication is due to a power
management event.

In such event the corresponding port to the indicator, requires power that
exceeds power budget capability of the Midspan. During these conditions,
port power is disconnected.

A port will operate when total power consumption of the Midspan
decreases.

try to connect the PD to another Midspan to verify that the PD is valid.
