Networking the Panels (Optional)
8. If the DPoE ™ Element Manager is not being
used to remotely manage the network of
DPoE ™ Power Patch Panels, skip to Power
Requirements . Otherwise, using a standard
patch cord (for example, PANDUIT part
number UTPCH3 or UTPSP3), connect the IN
management port on the back of the panel to
an Ethernet switch. A DHCP Server must be on
this network (unless the
DPoE ™ Power Patch
Panel has been configured for Static IP
operation). The panel may also be directly
connect to a PC with the
DPoE ™ Element
Manager installed, but this PC must be setup
as a DHCP Server.
9. If multiple panels are being used in the
network, the OUT management port from one
panel can be connected to the IN management
port on the next panel in a daisy chain fashion,
as shown. Once all of the connections are
made, the
DPoE ™ Element Manager or
another Network Manager will be able to
communicate with all the panels over this daisy
chain of connections. (See
Panel
Provisioning the
for more information.)
Power Requirements
10. If the panel is being powered by an individual power supply, such as a DPoE ™ Power Patch
Panel Power Supply (See page 9, Table 1: Power Supplies Available from PANDUIT for a list of
available powering options), skip to Powering Up The DPoE ™ Power Patch Panel below, since
the individual power supply is normally equipped with a matched keyed power connector that will
fit the power connector on the back of the panel.
11. If the panel is being powered by a direct 48VDC source, strip the power leads on the included
keyed power connector housing to 5/16” (7.9 mm). Strip the 48VDC supply wires to the same
strip length, being careful not to damage the conductors.
12. Using the two butt splices provided with the panel, and paying attention to the polarity of the
supply voltage, crimp the power harness wires to the supply wires. A crimping tool, such as the
PANDUIT part number CT-100, can be used. The provided butt splices ( PANDUIT part number
BSV14X) support 14-16 AWG solid or stranded wire.
