3 Integration of the column in the network
Before connecting Ray-On PoE, on the network, it is necessary to check that it is compatible with PoE+
technology and that it has the characteristics allowing to obtain the perfect functioning of Ray-On PoE.
3.1 PoE technology
The PoE technology described by the IEEE802.3 standard enables a device connected to an Ethernet
network to be supplied from the network cable. With this technology, the active elements of the
network inject electrical power directly into the cable connecting the PoE terminal device to the
switch or router.
There are several types of PoE technology depending on the power available and the mode of
energy transport over the network cable.
The speakers of the Ray-On PoE range use PoE+ technology (IEE 802.3at). This technology is
characterized by :
• Power available 30W
• Power transport on 2 paires
3.2 PoE+ network verification
Before connecting Ray-On PoE to the network, the following points should be checked :
• In order to be compatible with PoE+ technology, the network to which the speakers are
connected must be made with cables and connectors of type CAT5 or higher (CAT6, CAT7).
• The loss of power being linked to the length of the cables, the network to which the speakers
are connected must have the shortest cable lengths possible and compatible with the
Ethernet standard (80m maximum).
• There must be a link between the zone concentrator (switch) and each enclosure. In no
case will it be positioned hub or other distributors to connect 2 speakers on the same switch
port.
3.3 Choice and connection of the PSE
In PoE+ network, the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) and the device that injects energy into the
network. These devices not supplied with Ray-On PoE speakers can be of 2 types :
• PoE+ switches
If the speakers are connected to a switch, it must be of the PoE+ type, compatible with the
IEEE802.3at standard. In order to obtain the best sound and dynamic quality, the switch must
have a power supply of 30W per port with all the ports in service.
For example, if 8 PoE outputs are required to power 8 speakers, the switch must have a
minimum power capacity of 8x30 = 240W.
