Topology
A standalone topology uses only one AT-PC232/POE Media Converter
between a switch and each end-node. Figure 4 illustrates an example of a
standalone topology where several AT-PC232/POE Media Converters are
used to interconnect a number of PoE network Power Devices, such as
VoIP phones, AT-7400 Wireless Access Points, and a network camera.
An AT-8516F switch is connected to multiple AT-PC232/POE Media
Converters via their 100Base-FX ports. The AT-PC232/POE Media
Converters are capable of providing a connection of up to 2 kilometers
(1.24 miles) from the switch over the fiber cable. The 10/100Base-TX
twisted pair ports of the media converters deliver PoE power to the twisted
pair ports on the different PoE Power Devices as shown in Figure 4
