SonicWALL PoE-Injector User Manual

Safety Information (continued)

WARNING

Read the installation instructions before connecting
the PoE Injector to its power source.

WARNING

Follow basic electricity safety measures whenever
connecting the PoE Injector to its power source.

WARNING

This product relies on the building installation for
short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a
fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 3A.
U.S. (240 VAC, 1.5A international) is used on the
phase conductor.

WARNING

A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage
and may pose a fire hazard. If the voltage indicated
on the label is different from the power outlet voltage,
do not connect the PoE Injector to this power outlet.

WARNING

The PoE Injector "Data In" and "Data & Power Out"
ports are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot
be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
telephone sockets. Only RJ-45 data connectors may
be connected to these sockets.

SonicWALL

Power over Ethernet

(PoE) Injector

User’s Guide

Functions and Features

Note: The device is design to meet the IEEE802.3af standard.

The SonicWALL PoE Injector adds 48VDC to the unused (non­data) wires in standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. As a result,
the Power over LAN Hub delivers both data and power to the
terminal.

EMC Compliance: Category 5 foiled twisted-pair cables must be
used to ensure compliance with requirements of FCC Part 15,
subpart B, Class B. The use of unshielded cables (Category 5 for
10BASE-T ports or for 100BASE-Tx ports) complies with Class A
requirements.

Installation

The PoE Injector may be free standing or wall mounted using the
back wall holders.

Before You Install

Before you mount the PoE Injector to a fixed location:

• Do not cover the PoE Injector or block the airflow to it with any
other objects.

• Keep the PoE Injector away from excessive heat and humidity,
and free from vibration and dust.

• Be sure the cable length from the Ethernet network source to
the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (333 Feet). The PoE
Injector is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet
data signal

Installing the Unit

• Connect the PoE Injector to an AC outlet (100-240 VAC), using
a standard power cord.

• Connect the unit Data In jack (input) to the Ethernet network
and the Data & Power Out jack (output) to the terminal.

NOTE: There is no “on-off” switch. Simply plug the PoE
Injector into an AC power source.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Be sure AC power is applied to the PoE Injector, using

• Use standard 4 pair (8 wires) UTP or FTP CAT5 cable.

• Do not use a “crossover” type Ethernet cable.

• Be sure the input Ethernet cable is connected to the

• Be sure the output Ethernet cable is connected to the

• Verify that the Ethernet cable length is less than 333 feet

• Verify that a power-ready Ethernet compatible device is
