Ethernet Power Selection  

Unlike the RT-PoE3N model, there are no jumpers required to set which conductors 

provide power. The unit contains two separate power paths for pair 1,2 / 3,6 and for pair 

4,5 / 7,8. These have the standard full wave bridge so any polarity is accepted. The 

voltage measurement function accommodates either polarity and can be used to validate 

the expected PSE port polarity.
