Ethernet Ports
The IC-3173 provides one standard Gigabit Ethernet network port and four Gigabit Ethernet
ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Ethernet ports provide a connection between the
IC-3173, a network, and other Ethernet devices. The IC-3173 automatically detects the speed
of the connection and configures itself accordingly.
If a PoE-capable device is plugged into an Ethernet port with PoE, the IC-3173 automatically
supplies power to the device. When the IC-3173 supplies PoE, the LED that corresponds to the
port illuminates. When you unplug a PoE device, PoE is automatically disabled. You can use
non-PoE Ethernet devices with the PoE-enabled Gigabit Ethernet ports.
A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit)
Ethernet performance. CAT 5 Ethernet cables are not guaranteed to meet the necessary
requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps, CAT 5 cables can cause
bit errors, resulting in degraded or unreliable network performance.
