General Installation
A midspan like the BT-1-WM and its kit variations are simple to add on to a network port, and the purpose is to add PoE using a wide range of input power to any network.
With this DIN rail-mounted device, simply mount it on a DIN rail near the networking switch you’d like to pair it with. Then, use a short Ethernet patch cable from the switch’s data port to the LAN port on the PoE midspan. The POE port adjacent to the LAN port will now have that IEEE 802.3bt (95 watts) power budget and up to gigabit pass through data. Finally, connect the DC power supply to the Phoenix style connector on the top.
The BT-1-WM also passes grounding through the RJ-45 ports to provide some protection in an ESD event. However, we recommend only grounding devices at one location, so the kits do not come grounded themselves.
Not sure what grounding is? Panduit has some great graphics around grounding.
CONFIGURATION
There is no configuration necessary with this device. Simply plug it in.
- The amber LED indicates power on and ready to negotiate PoE.
- The green LED indicates that the device has negotiated PoE with a Powered Device (PD).
STEPS TO TROUBLESHOOT:
1 – At the injector, disconnect the PoE port from your device. Use a PoE Tester to confirm the device is able to power on using a short jumper cable.
2 – At the other end of the network cable to your device, disconnect the device and use the PoE Tester to confirm it is able to negotiate PoE.
3 – Connect the PoE Tester to the end device to monitor power consumption.
If you’re able to power on the device with the PoE Tester inline, it’s likely a compatibility issue. Please contact us at success@poetexas.com to find you the right solution.
