• If connecting the unit to an Ethernet switch or router equipped with
unmanaged PoE, an IEEE 802.3af-to-24 Vdc inline converter
(Fluidmesh part number
FM-POE-INL
).
CAUTION
The Cisco FM Ponte kit is designed to accept power from the
included 24 Vdc mode B passive PoE injector (Fluidmesh part
number
FM-POE-STD
) or from an IEEE 802.3af-to-24 Vdc
inline converter (Fluidmesh part number
FM-POE-INL
) only. Do
not connect power supplies of any other voltage output, type or
rating to the unit under any circumstances.
Do not connect an unmanaged PoE switch (in other words, a
PoE switch on which DC power to the RJ45 ports cannot be
switched off) to the Cisco FM Ponte kit under any
circumstances. Connecting an unmanaged PoE switch to the
unit will result in 48 Vdc power being supplied to the unit. This
will irreparably damage the unit, and will invalidate the product
warranty.
When providing the power source for the Cisco FM Ponte kit, remember
the following important points:
• Install the power source as close to the unit as possible to minimize
voltage drop. The maximum suggested distance is 50ft (15m).
• Ensure proper grounding (earthing) and reliable connectivity by
using shielded CAT5/6 cables and connectors.
• If you are connecting the Cisco FM Ponte kit directly to a power
source, only use the included 24 Vdc mode B passive PoE
injector(s) (Fluidmesh part number
FM-POE-STD
). If the included
PoE injector(s) are non-functional, replacement injectors can be
ordered from Fluidmesh.
• If you are 'daisy-chaining’ (in other words, connecting the Cisco FM
Ponte kit to a switch or router through a 24 Vdc mode B passive
PoE injector), note the following points:
• The unit is designed to accept 24 Vdc passive mode B PoE
power only. The RJ45 terminal assignments for mode B
power are as follows:
1.
Terminal 1:
Rx +
2.
Terminal 2:
Rx -
3.
Terminal 3:
Tx +
4.
Terminal 4:
DC v
5.
Terminal 5:

Terminal 6:
