3 OPERATION
3.1 Transfer Of Data And Power
As shown in Section 1.3, Mx2wire+ can be put to practical use as an Ethernet extension
that includes the transport of Power-over-Ethernet in a wide range of private or commercial
applications. In principle, Mx2wire+ can always be used to connect any 10/100Mbps
Ethernet device (such as a PC, Wi-Fi, IP camera, IP door station or IP telephone, for example).
A Mx2wire+ media converter set (2 units) transfers data at a rate of up to 50 Mbps
(depending on the cable cross-section and length) and power according to the PoE standard
(maximum 13watts). Suitable PoE end devices can be simultaneously supplied by this
power supply directly via Mx2wire+ (e.g., MOBOTIX camera, MOBOTIX door station, etc.).
Mx2wire+ Network Connection Using A Patch Cable
Network devices (such as PCs, routers, camera and switches, for example) are connected
to the front of the Mx2wire+ unit simply by inserting the Ethernet network cable (Cat5 patch
cable or higher) into the standard RJ45 connector.
Note
Two Mx2wire+ units must always be used as a pair (as originally packed). These two
paired units have the same network ID. The network ID is printed on a sticker located
in the top left corner of the circuit board.
A MOBOTIX software tool will be available in the near future to subsequently manually
pair (ID assignment) two individual Mx2wire+ units.
Application examples
in Section 1.3
As a rule, no additional
network device is
required, as the end
device can be supplied
with up to 13 watts via
a PoE power supply
Only patch cables with a
maximum length of 10m
should be used
