2.4.2 PoE Power Supply Usage

The laptop in these diagrams could instead be a non-PoE switch port connecting the BreadCrumb to a

LAN.

Proper Use of PoE Power Supply

1. Disconnect power from PoE power supply

2. Connect PoE Out to BreadCrumb using shielded Ethernet cable

3. (Optional) Connect PoE In (aka Data) to a computer or a non-powered LAN Ethernet port

4. Reconnect power to PoE power supply

Warnings: Regarding PoE Power Supply Connections

Unlike active PoE methods such as IEEE 802.3af/at, passive PoE does not include any kind of handshak-

ing or voltage checking.

- Only connect the passive PoE power supply Output to the BreadCrumb. The output power over Ether-

net can damage other devices and may damage the PoE power supply.

- Never connect the passive PoE power supply Output to an Ethernet port that supplies PoE power. This

can damage equipment and may cause a fire. The Output should only be connected to the Bread-

Crumb.

- Never connect the passive PoE power supply Input to an Ethernet port that supplies PoE power. Ap-

plying power to the PoE Input can damage the PoE power supply. For more information see the

Tech-

nical Bulletins

Never Apply Power to the Data Input Port of a Rajant Mid-Span

Power over Ethernet (POE) Power Supply

.

- If you choose to connect a Rajant passive PoE-supporting BreadCrumb to an active PoE switch, you

must first turn off the PoE capability of that switch port. For more information see the

Technical Bulle-

tins

BreadCrumb Models Support Only Passive PoE

- Unsealed PoE power supplies are for indoor use only.
