Chapter 7: Power over Ethernet Setup
One of the NetWall 6000 Series expansion slot options is a module that can provide 8 x RJ45
Gigabit Ethernet port connectivity with each port also capable of supplying
Power over Internet
(PoE) at the same time. Each PoE capable port can provide up to 30 Watts of DC power to an
external device over a suitable Ethernet cable (Cat 5a or better) up to a distance of 100 meters.
An uninstalled PoE-capable 6000 Series expansion module is shown below.
Figure 7.1. NetWall 6000 Series 8 x RJ45 Gigabit with PoE/PoE+ Expansion Module
The above image shows a small LED at the center-bottom that will illuminate if the maximum
PoE load is exceeded. The LEDs on the left and right sides will illuminate if the port indicated by
the number next to the LED is actively supplying PoE power.
The expansion module comes with a separate PSU that provides the PoE power to the module by
plugging into a special PoE power port on the back of the NetWall 6000 Series. This PSU is shown
below.
