EN
Second Ethernet socket (10/100Base-Tx) for connection to the LAN. Both
10 Mbit or 100 Mbit connections are supported. The available transfer
rate is detected automatically (autosensing).
The LAN connectors support the Power over Ethernet standard (PoE).
Further information about the operations with PoE can be found in the
information box 'Power over Ethernet—elegant power supply over LAN
cabling'.
Power over Ethernet – the elegant power supply via LAN cabling
LANCOM Access Points are equipped for Power over Ethernet operation and comply with the
802.3af standard. PoE-capable network devices can be neatly provided with power over LAN
cabling. A power supply for each access point is therefore not necessary, significantly redu-
cing the effort of installation.
Power is fed into the LAN at a central location by using a PoE injector, a power hub or power
switch. It is important that the cables used in the LAN are equipped with all 8 conductors.
PoE can only be operated in network segments where exclusively PoE-capable devices are
being operated. Network devices that do not support PoE are protected by an intelligent
mechanism. This searches the network segment for attached devices that do not support PoE
before activating the PoE current. The voltage is only switched on in the LAN if it is equipped
exclusively with PoE devices.
Only devices supporting the 802.3af standard should be operated in a PoE installa-
tion! There is no entitlement to warranty claims arising from damage resulting from
the operation of inappropriate equipment.
