MMX8x4-HT series – User's Manual
38
Applied firmware package: v1.2.2b5 | LDC software: v2.2.1
5.2.2.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
WARNING! The remote power feature of TPS 95 series extenders is not PoE-compatible. Thus, TPS 95
series cannot be powered remotely by the MMX8x4 matrix switchers (but the video signal is transmitted
to/from the extenders). If a TPS 95 extender is connected to the matrix, make sure that the remote
power jumper of the extender is removed or set to 'Remote power disabled' position.
MMX8x4-HT420M
INFO: MMX8x4-HT420M model has PoE support.
TPS input and output ports are able to supply other HDBase-T compliant devices over the TPS lines which
are PoE-compliant as well. In this case, the connected transmitter or receiver does not require a local power
supply.
ATTENTION!
The Ethernet ports do not support PoE. Only the TPS ports have PoE function.
The PoE feature in the practice
The TPS ports of the matrix are in accordance with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) standard. The feature is demonstrated
on below figure:
Extenders Supplied without Local Power
The concept
Supply the connected extenders through the CATx (TPS) cables without local adapters.
Settings
▪
Extenders:
the device must be PoE-compatible or else the feature will not work.
▪
Matrix:
make sure the PoE option on the TPS port is enabled (which is the default setting) via LDC in
the port properties window; see
and
HDMI and TPS Output Port Properties
section.
INFO: PoE-compatible and not compatible devices can be connected simultaneously as the feature can
be set individually on each port.
