PD-6006/12/24 Model Numbers Definition PD-60xx/yyyy/M where: xx represents the number of ports (6, 12 or 24) yyyy establishes the type of input power used, such as: AC (yy), or DC (yy), or both AC and DC (yyyy). M if present, indicates that the Midspan includes the Web Management feature (refer to Section 4).
PD-6006/12/24 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. WARNINGS a • Read the Installation Instructions in Section 3 before connecting the Power over LAN Midspan to its power source.
PD-6006/12/24 1.2 Power Cord In the event that the power cord is replaced, the replacement must meet local requirements. The cord must be UL-approved or CSA certified. U.S.A. and The minimum specification for the flexible cord is: Canada • 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-6006/12/24 2 About the Power over LAN Midspan PowerDsine’s family of Power over LAN Midspans, series 6000, injects power over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. The PD-6006/6012/6024 Midspans, support 6, 12 and 24 ports respectively in a 10/100BaseTx Ethernet network, over TIA/EIA-568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. DC operating power, for data terminal units, is fed over unused pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5).
PD-6006/12/24 2.2 2.2.1 10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition Data Input Ports According to the model acquired, the Midspan has 6, 12 or 24 10BaseT/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). Data & Power Output Ports 2.2.
PD-6006/12/24 2.3.2 Port Indications One bi-color indicator (green and orange), per port, provides port status: Green indicates that the terminal unit has been identified as "Power over LAN Enabled" and is active and receiving power. Orange indicates that the port is not supplying power and is not active. Refer to Table 2-2 for additional information.
PD-6006/12/24 Table 2-2: Port Status Indications Port LED Color Port Load Conditions Port Voltage Non-active load or unplugged port. Power to the port is disconnected.No DC voltage present on spare pairs. Green Active load is plugged in and complies with normal load conditions. Continuous nominal DC voltage is present on the spare pairs. Orange Overload conditions; or short; or forced external voltage feed (constant DC) into the port. Power to the port is disconnected.
PD-6006/12/24 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. Most installations require the Midspan to be rack mounted, as described hereafter. Figure 3-1: Typical Installation 3.
PD-6006/12/24 3.3 Connecting Ethernet Cables The ports on the front panel of the Midspan are configured as "route through" ports for all eight conductors of the RJ-45 connectors. Use Category 5 cabling in making connections. 1. Connect cables from the Ethernet Switch to the Data ports (bottom row on Midspan). 2. Connect the cables from the IEEE 802.3af ready terminals (PDs) to the corresponding Data & Power ports (top row on Midspan). 3.
PD-6006/12/24 3.6.2 Troubleshooting Guide This paragraph provides a symptom and resolution sequence in order to assist in the troubleshooting of minor operating problems. If the steps given do not solve your problem, do not hesitate to call your local dealer for further assistance. Refer to Table 3-1. Table 3-1: Troubleshooting Steps Symptom Midspan does not power up Corrective Steps 1. Verify that a known-good power cord is used. 2.
PD-6006/12/24 Table 3-1: Troubleshooting Steps Symptom Is it safe to keep the Midspan running while a port indicator is orange? Corrective Steps This is a safe condition. The orange indication is due to: 1. A device, not compliant to IEEE 802.3af, was detected. 2. Terminals 4/5 and 7/8 are shorted together. 3. Forced external power fed into the port. During these conditions, port power is disconnected. Technical Specifications Physical Specifications Dimensions (h x w x l) Weight 44 x 433 x 302 mm (1.
PD-6006/12/24 4 Remote Power Management SNMP Remote Management is an optional feature, for monitoring and control of the device. For further details, refer to PowerDsine’s PowerView, Power over LAN™ SNMP Web Manager User Guide, catalog number 06-6910-056. PowerView manages Midspans via an Web Manager or via a remote Network Management station, using Java applets. The system provides direct on-line power supervision, configuration, monitoring and diagnostics .
