1. Introduction

Mstronic’s family of Power over Ethernet TP-MS308/TP-MS316/TP-MS324 ( Power
Sourcing Equipment ), is an AC+DC input, gigabit PoE Midspan which injects power
over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. The TP-MS308/TP-MS316/TP-MS324, support 8,
16 and 24 ports respectively in a 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet network, over
TIA/EIA-568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. DC operating power, for data terminal units, is
fed over data pairs C (4/5) and D (7/8) of the cabling. Remote management of up to 8
units via TCP/IP protocol is featured, which allows greater flexibility in the locating of
network devices and significantly decreasing installation costs in many cases.

The TP-MS308/TP-MS316/TP-MS324 follows the IEEE 802.3af standard and is
completely compatible with existing Ethernet switches and networked devices. This
device normally powers PDs (Powered Devices) that are Power over Ethernet enabled
or are equipped to receive power over Ethernet. The PSE tests whether a networked
device is PoE-capable and power is never transmitted unless a Powered Device is at
other end of the cable. It also continues to monitor the channel. If the Powered Device
does not draw a minimum current, because it has been unplugged or physically turned
off, the PSE shuts down the power to that port. Devices which are not equipped to
receive power over Ethernet may require an external splitter in order to be powered.
Contact Mstronic for such a splitter.

Rear Panel

Figure 2-2. The Rear Panel of TP-MS308/TP-MS316/TP-MS324

The AC inlet, DC input terminal and 2 Ventilation fan are located at the rear panel of
the TP-MS308/TP-MS316/TP-MS324. The device will work with AC in the range
100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. Or work with DC -48V(-42V~-57V).

Power On

Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the PSE. The other
side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the PSE
works with the voltage range of 100V-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz, or with voltage
range of DC -42V~-57V. Check the port, the power indicator will self-test on the front
panel to see if power is properly supplied.

Network Application

The PSE can provide power to the PD which follow the IEEE 802.3af standard in the
network. It can solve the problem of position limitation. The network device can be
installed in a more appropriate position for better performance. The following figure is
an example of a network application for PSE
