PD-3006/12 1 Safety Information 1.1 General Guidelines You must read the following safety information before carrying out any installation, removal or any maintenance procedure on the Power over LAN Midspan. Warnings contain directions that must be followed for personal and product safety. Follow all directions carefully. ~ WARNING Read the Installation Instructions in Section 3 before connecting the Power over LAN Midspan to its power source.
PD-3006/12 1.2 Power Cord In the event that the power cord is replaced, the replacement must meet local requirements. U.S.A. and Canada * The cord must be UL-approved or CSA certified. * The minimum specification for the flexible cord is: - No. 18 AWG - Type SV or SJ - Three-conductor. * The cord set must have a rated current capacity of at least 10 A. * The attachment plug must be an earth-grounding type with a NEMA 5-15P (15 A, 125 V) or NEMA 6-15P (15 A, 250 V) configuration.
PD-3006/12 2 About the Power over LAN Midspan PowerDsine’s family of Power over LAN Midspans, series 3000, injects power over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. The PD-3006/3012 Midspans, support 6 and 12 ports respectively in a 10/100BaseTx Ethernet network, over TIA/EIA568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. The DC operating power for the data terminal units is fed over unused pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5).
PD-3006/12 2.2 2.2.1 10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition Data Input Ports The Midspan has 6 (or 12) 10Base-T/100Base-TX- data input ports, configured in a non-crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports, shown in Figure 2-1 (bottom row of connectors), are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6). 2.2.2 Data & Power Output Ports The Midspan has 6 (or 12) Data & Power ports also configured in noncrossover manner (straight-wired).
PD-3006/12 2.3.2 Port Indications The status of each port is monitored by a bi-color LED indicator (green and orange). Green indicates that the PD has been identified as "Power over LAN enabled", is active and is receiving power. Orange indicates that the port is not supplying power and is not active. Refer to Table 2-2 for additional information.

PD-3006/12 3 Installing the Power over LAN Midspan 3.1 Background Information As shown in Figure 3-1, the Midspan is connected in series to an Ethernet switch/Hub. The data outputs from the switch are connected to the Midspan. The Midspan delivers power over spare twisted pairs (pins 7/8 and pins 4/5) of the Category 5 cabling without degrading the quality of data communications. Figure 3-1: Typical Installation 3.
PD-3006/12 3.3 Powering up The Power over LAN Midspan has no on/off switch. To apply or remove power to the Midspan, insert or remove the power cable from the receptacle on the rear panel of the unit. With power applied, the Midspan powers-up and the internal fan operates; then, the device runs through its power-on self-test (POST), which takes less than 10 seconds. During the POST, all ports are disabled and the indicators illuminate in the following sequence: 1. 2. 3.

PD-3006/12 3.5 Troubleshooting 3.5.1 Preliminary Steps If you encounter problems, check that: * Power is applied to the Midspan * A crossover-type Ethernet cable has not been used * The Ethernet cable from the network is connected to the Data port * The Ethernet cable to the PD is connected to the Data & Power port * Cable pairs are attached to corresponding ports. 3.5.
PD-3006/12 Table 3-1: Troubleshooting Steps Symptom The end device operates, but there is no data link. Corrective Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. Is it safe to keep the Midspan running while a port indicator is orange? Verify that the port indicator on the front panel is continuously lit. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good splitter. Verify that for this link, you are using standard UTP/FTP Category 5 straight (non-crossover) cabling, with all four pairs.
