2 About the Power over Ethernet
Midspan
PowerDsine’s family of Power over Ethernet Midspans, series 3500 &
6500, injects power over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. The PD6506/6512/6524 Midspans, support 6, 12 and 24 ports respectively 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 unused
pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5). The Power over Ethernet Midspan
normally 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 can receive power over
Ethernet, may require an external power adapter in order to be powered.
Contact PowerDsine for such an adapter.
Power over Ethernet Midspan main features:
Safe and reliable power over existing Ethernet
infrastructure
Eliminates the need for AC outlets, local UPS & AC/DC
adapters near PDs
Remote Management using Web control and/or
SNMPv3
Highest level of Network Security
Safe solution that protects network infrastructure
Standards compliant.
2.1 Power Management
When establishing a network, the total power required by the PDs may
exceed the total power available from the Midspan. The built-in Power
Management feature does not allow total power output to exceed
maximum power available (refer to the Technical Specifications). When
total power available is near maximum, attempts to connect an additional
PD to a free port cause the corresponding LED of the port to blink orange,
indicating an out-of-power state. This port does not deliver power. Power
distribution is based on “first come, first served” logic.
Sometimes, connected and operating PDs significantly increase or
suddenly raise their power requirements. If the power required exceeds
the power available, the Midspan starts turning off ports, starting from the
last port down, until the total power is once again under the maximum
PowerDsine 7 The Power over Ethernet Pioneers
PPoowweerrDDssiinnee 66550000 SSeerriiees
available limit.
2.2 10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition
2.2.1 Data Input Ports
The Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 x 10/100Base-T Data In ports, located on
the PoE rear panel (Figure
(straight-wired).
These ports are located on the PoE’s rear panel 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 an existing Ethernet switch.
2.2.2 Data & Power Output Ports
The Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 x 10/100Base-T Data & Power Out ports,
located on the front panel (Figure
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 PoE rear panel..
The Power over Ethernet Midspan is not a repeater. As such, the maximum distance from
the Ethernet switch must not exceed 100 meters (328 ft). As specified in the IEEE 802.3
standard, the Power over Ethernet Midspan is guaranteed to work up to this distance.

3 Installing the Power over Ethernet
Midspan
3.1 Background Information
As shown in Figure 3-1, the Midspan is connected in series with an
Ethernet switch/hub. The data outputs from the switch are connected to
the Midspan. The Midspan delivers power over the spare twisted pairs
(pins 7/8 and pins 4/5) of the Category 5 cabling, without degrading the
quality of data. Most installations require the Midspan to be rack mounted
as described below.
Figure 3-1: Typical Installation
PowerDsine 12 The Power over Ethernet Pioneers
PPoowweerrDDssiinnee 66550000 SSeerriiees
3.2 Rack Mounting Brackets
The Midspan comes with 19-inch mounting brackets and screws. To
install the Midspan into a 19-inch rack, first remove the self-adhesive
rubber feet from the bottom surface. Install the brackets using two screws
per side. Rack-mounting screws are not provided.
Figure
3-2: Installing Mounting Brackets
3.3 General Hazards
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature — if installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection
of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing — Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use
of power strips)

PowerDsine 13 The Power over Ethernet Pioneers
PPoowweerrDDssiinnee 66550000 SSeerriiees
3.4 Connecting Ethernet Cables
The ports on the Midspan’s front panel are configured as "Pass Through"
ports for four (1,2, 3 & 6) conductors of the RJ-45 connectors. Use
Category 5 cabling when making the connections.
1. Connect cables from the Ethernet Switch to the Data In ports
(lower row on the front panel).
2. Connect the cables from the IEEE 802.3af ready terminals
(PDs) to the corresponding Data & Power Out ports (upper row
on the front panel).
3.5 Connecting Power Cables
When using AC source to power the Midspan, plug in the provided power
cord at the rear AC connector.
3.6 Powering up
The Power over Ethernet Midspan has no on/off switch. To apply power
to the Midspan or remove power from the Midspan, insert or remove the
power cable from the receptacle (AC) on the rear panel of the unit.
With power applied, the Midspan powers-up and the internal fan
operates; then, the device runs 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. Port indicators and Main indicators illuminate green.
2. Main indicator remains lit green; port indicators are off.
Ports are now ready (enabled) for normal operation.

4 Troubleshooting
4.1 Preliminary Steps
If you encounter problems, verify the following:
Power is applied to the Midspan
A crossover-type Ethernet cable has not been used
The Ethernet cable from the network is connected to the Dataport
The Ethernet cable to the PD is connected to the Data & Powerport
Cable pairs are attached to corresponding ports.
4.2 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 4-1.
Table 4-1: Troubleshooting Steps
Symptom Corrective Steps
Midspan does not power
up
A port indicator is not lit
and the corresponding PD
does not operate.
1. Establish that the power cord is viable.
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..
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 viable 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.

no data link.
Is it safe to keep the
Midspan running while
a port indicator is
orange?
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 viable splitter.
3. Verify that for this link, you are using a standard UTP/FTP Category
5 straight (non-crossover) cabling, with all four pairs. Verify that the
link is 100 m or less.
4. Try to re-connect the same PD to a different port on the same
midspan or to a different unit: if it works, there is probably a faulty
port or faulty RJ-45 connection.
This is a safe condition. The orange indication is due to:
1. A device not compliant to IEEE 802.3af, is 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.
