4) Connect Cable and Devices
a. Connect the RJ-45 port on the PoE PSE equipment to the P1-PD port on the
RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si or GXHPoE/Si using a Category 5 or better cable.
b. Verify the PWR and P1-PD LEDs on the RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si or GXHPoE/Si
are functioning per the LED table on the next page.
c. Connect the RJ-45 P2-PSE or P3-PSE port on the RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si or
GXHPoE/Si to the Powered Device using a Category 5 or better cable.
d. Verify the P2-PSE or P3-PSE LED on the RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si or GXHPoE/Si
is functioning per the LED table on the next page.

5) Verify Operation
Verify the GXPoE30/Si or GXHPoE60/Si is operational by viewing the LED indicators.
Once power is applied through the PoE/PD port on the module, all module functions
are active. The PoE/PSE port is operational and will start detecting / classifying
once a PD device is attached to the port.
This facilitates installation and troubleshooting by ensuring each link is operational.
This is especially beneficial when multiple Extenders are daisy chained.
