Connecting PoH to the Switch
The MGMT port can be used to supply the switch with 90 W DC power using Power over
HDBaseT. This can be used as the main power source or as the secondary power source
to the switch.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the RPS to AC power before the standard Ethernet cable
is connected. This might damage the internal power supply.
CAUTION:
Leave at least 15 cm of space at the rear of the Switch when an RPS is
installed to prevent cable damage.
DPS-520 Redundant Power Supply
A standard Ethernet cable connects one of the four LAN ports on the DPS-520 and the
PoH-capable MGMT port on the switch. A standard, three-pronged AC power cable
connects the redundant power supply to the main power source.

Management Options
This switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage, and
monitor networking features available on this switch. Currently there are three
management platforms available which are described below.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
This switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port or the MGMT port.
Alternatively, the switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to
any of the LAN ports on the switch.
SNMP-based Management
The switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The switch
supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
