1. Safety Procedures 1.1. General Precautions General – Please read the following precautions carefully before installing and connecting the system to a power source. Note – Only qualified and trained service personnel (in accordance with IEC 60950 and AS/NZS 3260) should install, replace, or service the equipment. Install the system in accordance with Country, National or to the U.S. National Electric Code if you are in the United States. Precautions: 1.
1.1 Sicherheitsmaßnahmen – Allgemeine Vorsichtsmaßnahmen Allgemein – Lesen Sie die folgenden Vorsichtsmaßnahmen sorgäfltig durch, bevor Sie das System installieren und an eine Energiequelle anschließen. Hinweis – Das Gerät derf nur durch qualifiziertes und geschultes tehisches Personal (gemäß IEC 60950 [Vorschrift 60950 der Internationalen Elektrischen Kimmission] und AS/NZS 3260 [Vorschrift für Australien und Neuseeland]) installiert, ersetzt oder repariert werden.

2.4 Powering Your Midspan Power Cord Requirements Power cords must meet the requirements for the country it is intended to be used. U.S.
2.3 Connecting Ethernet Cables* Figure 7: POE370U-480-24N connected through ‘data & power’ line Figure 8: NIC Cable Connected* 2.4 Connecting USB and Power Cables USB cable: The USB cable is connected to the USB connector located in the front side of the Midspan and a USB port on your PC/laptop. Figure 9: USB Cable* Figure 10: USB Cable Connected AC power cord: The AC power cable is connected to the AC power connector located in the rear side of the Midspan and the power outlet.
2.5 Powering UP Midspan receives power via the power cord. In order to apply or remove power to/from the Midspan connect or disconnect the AC power cable to/from the AC power connector on the rear side of the unit. With AC power applied, the unit starts-up and the internal fans are active. The device runs through a quick power-on test, which takes less than 10 seconds. During this period, all ports are initially disabled and the port indicators light up.

3. Phihong GUI and USB Driver Installation: Please locate and download the file Phihong GUI Installation from the support section of the Phihong websites: www.midspans.com or www.phihong.com. Please follow the Installation Wizard to install the Phihong GUI for your model, and the USB-to-Serial Com Port driver. The USB-to-Serial Com Port driver is necessary for communicating between the Midspan via a Communication Port on the PC.
3.2 Device Manager: to view Port Properties When you are ready to begin, please connect the proper end of the USB-to-Serial cable to your Midspan and the other to an available USB port on your PC. If you installed the USB driver described above, your PC will locate the new hardware.
Double Click the . In this example the USB-to-Serial Comm port is installed on Com1. The Com port will vary upon user. Figure 18: Prolific USB-to Serial Com Port Properties/General Settings Click . Assure Port Setting is as shown. Click select the Com Port Number or stay with the default. . Click the pull down menu and Figure 19: Prolific USB-to Serial Com Port Properties/Advanced Settings Click to save all changes.
3.3 USB Block Diagram Figure 20: USB Block Diagram USB Device (Midspan) Internal Function USB Port (PC) Connects USB Port (PC) to device (Midspan) via USB Cable The PC automatically detects the newly installed hardware. This function is called Plug & Play, available with a USB connection Internal USB device (Midspan) sends a signal to your PC, creating a “Virtual COM Port.” A Virtual COM Port corresponds to a serial communication port. The PC quickly identifies teh connection as Serial Com.
4. Midspan GUI The firmware is supplied with a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is used to configure and manage the PoE midspan system. If you have successfully installed the Phihong GUI and USB driver – Please locate the Phihong Midspan POE GUI on your desktop or from your Start Menu. 4.
4.2 GUI System Control and Information: The System Control and Information panel on the GUI supports the main system level parameters for the µP. It also displays information about the PoE ID, firmware revision and system status. Figure 23: System Setup, Control, Information, and Port Commands System Reset – This is a function that allows the GUI to reset the software on the µP.
During the ‘Download In Progress’, the GUI function buttons will be temporarily disabled. Figure 24: System Update Example of GUI firmware file: Phihong USA Corporation • 47800 Fremont Blvd. Fremont, CA 94538 • Tel: 1.510.445.0100 Fax: 1.510.445.1678 www.phihong.com or www.midspans.
4.3 GUI Port Description: The Port Description panel shows 24-ports. On the PoE Midspans that have 8 or 16-ports, the port numbers higher than the system port count will be shaded grey and disabled. Each section specifies the individual port descriptions for the system. Figure 25: Port Description Changes to the port configuration in this section can be enacted when the user clicks the “Send Port Control” button. It will send the port information to the µP for 24-Ports.
The different colored LEDs show the status of the individual ports. A ‘Yellow’ LED shows the port is detecting or ready to be connected. A ‘Red’ LED shows the port as Disable/Error. A ‘Green’ LED shows that the port is connected to a compliant load.

2. Different Network Domain Figure 46: Network Domain Diagram Description of Diagram: - Building #1 has on main Network Server that links all three floors together. Building #2 has one main Network Server with the Network Domain of 254.168.2.xxx. Different methods of connection: NOTE: Taking consideration that the Access Control from the Controller Setup is Disabled (allowing all access) - Connection within the same Network Domain. (Please refer to the diagram above for Building #1.
- Connection between different Network Domains. (Please refer to the diagram above Building #2) For instance: • The NIC Interface Midspan is connected to the Network Domain of Building #1 (192.168.1.xxx) would like to communicate with the NIC Interface Midspan from Building #1. Building #1 must configure the main Network server to allow access from an outside source, in this case Building #2. Building #1 must be able to support UDP port 161, for SNMP.
Appendix D: Frequently Asked Questions Q: What happens if I forget my username and passwords for the NIC Interface? A: Please contact Phihong Sales for further information on this topic. Q: What is the function of the “current share” pin on the CD Power connector? Are there any protocols or procedures associated with it? A: The DC solution contains 3x 500W 50V rectifier modules (1000W N+1) with custom cables available for connection between the rectifier rack and up to 4 midspans.
