1PoE Input / Output (IN / OUT)
There sixteen RJ45 jack pairs (top and bottom pair) labeled
sequentially. For each pair, the bottom jack is for network
data input. The top jack is the data and power output.
CONNECT your data only cables to the bottom row of the
RJ45 jacks (from a network switch, video server, etc.).
CONNECT the top jacks to the corresponding PoE compatible
devices (e.g., IP cameras).
2Ethernet Input (Ethernet)
This port allows users to monitor and control the AQE
multi-port midspan injector through a computer, over a
Local Area Network (LAN) or the Internet. The management
software AQE Power Supply Control Center is web browser
based. You may connect a Personal Computer (PC) directly
to this Ethernet port, or via LAN/Internet.
3External Control (External Control)
This connector allows an external trigger voltage to shutdown
selected PoE outputs (programmed by user via the AQE
Power Supply Control Center management software).
The trigger voltage is 5 to 24V, AC or DC.
4Reset Button (Reset)
Pressing the recessed reset button with a pin for 6 seconds
will reset the IP address and password to the factory default
values.
The factory default IP address is: 192.168.1.9
The factory default user name is: admin
The factory default password is: admin
5Front Panel LEDs (1-16)
The 16 front panel LEDs (labeled 1 through 16) indicate the
port status of the corresponding PoE channels. When the
output is connected to a valid PoE Powered Device (PD)
within the specified current limit, the LED will be green,
indicating normal operation. When there is a fault condition,
such as when no PD is connected to that port, the LED will
be yellow.
The LED will be turned off if the corresponding port is
disabled by the AQE Power Supply Control Center software.
LED Status Status
Green Normal Operation
Yellow (Fault) No Powered Device connected or fault
condition present
Off Port disabled
When the AQE is first powered, these LEDs will light yellow
in sequence (1-16) six times as the unit performs a self-test.
6AC Line Input (AC Power)
This is the connector for the AC line cord.
PLUG the included computer-style line cord into this
connector.
CONNECT the other end of the cord to the power strip inside
the rack or another suitable AC power receptacle. The AQE
series accepts 120–230 VAC ONLY.
7Main AC Power Switch / Circuit Breaker (On/Off)
This is the main AC power switch for the AQE. This switch
lights when power is on and also has a built-in circuit breaker
rated at 15 Amperes (A).
If the circuit breaker trips, RESET it by cycling the switch to
off then back to on.
8External DC Voltage Input (External DC +/-)
This input may be used to either power the AQE via an
external 50 VDC supply or to provide battery backup to the
AQE. The “External DC” input is reverse polarity protected. See
below for details:
To Use Battery Backup
Connect AC power to the AQE unit as normal. In addition,
connect a 48V nominal battery set to the “External DC”
connector, using the battery cable supplied.
To Use an External 50 VDC Supply
Connect a 50V power supply to the “External DC” connector
at the rear. The ratings requirements for the DC power supply
are given below:
Input voltage range 44 – 57 VDC
Max input current (500W model) 14.0 A
Max input current (250W model) 7.0 A
Note that if both AC and DC power sources are connected to
the unit at the same time, the AC source will supply the power
to the output ports. The external DC source will not supply the
outputs unless the AC source is missing or the power switch
is turned off.
The following are basic descriptions. Refer to the appropriate section for more detailed information.

2.1 Preparing to configure the AQE
In order to perform the initial configuration of the AQE, you
will need the following:
• A computer (PC or Mac) set to a static IP address
in the subnet 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx is a subnet
address (0 to 255) not being used by any other
device on the network. DO NOT USE 192.168.1.9 or
the final IP address you will be using for the AQE.
(See Figure 4.)
• A web browser installed on the computer.
• A CAT5 or higher Ethernet cable long enough to reach
between the computer and the AQE's Ethernet port.
• The AQE must be powered. After powering the AQE,
WAIT for the AQE to initialize. When ready, the port
LEDs will be lit steady.
After the AQE is powered and initialized, CONNECT the
Ethernet cable between the Ethernet ports of the AQE and
computer. The green LED on the Ethernet port of the AQE
should light. A few seconds later, the yellow LED will begin
flashing.
2.2 Logging into AQE Power Supply Control Center
for the first time
From the factory, the AQE is preset with the following settings:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.9
• Username: admin
• Password: admin
OPEN a browser on the computer and enter "192.168.1.9"
into the address bar (not in a search bar - you may need
to disable a "search from the address bar" setting in your
browser, if enabled). A window will appear asking for
authentication (See Figure 5). ENTER "admin" for both the
user name and password. The AQE Home Page should
appear (See Figure 6).

2.3 Configuring the TCP/IP Settings
In the orange menu bar at the top of the browser screen,
click the "Configure" link. Figure 7 shows the Configure page.
At the top left of the Configure page is the “TCP/IP Setting”
area. The settings in this area include:
Site ID
Entered by user. ENTER any meaningful name to identify
the AQE midspan unit. This name will be displayed on
the HOME page.
IP Address
The factory default IP address is set to 192.168.1.9. This
address may be changed to any valid IP address. SET the
first three values of the IP address to match the domain
of the network to which the AQE will be connected. SET
the final value to a number between 0 and 255 which is
not being used by any other device on the subnet. In the
event the IP address is later forgotten, PRESS the “Reset”
button on the front panel of the AQE for 6 seconds and the
IP address, default user name, and default password will be
reset to factory default values.

MAC address
The MAC Address is factory set and is not programmable
by the user.
Gateway IP
The default gateway is 192.168.1.1. This value may be
changed by the user - consult with your IT department
for more information.
DNS0, DNS1
The default value for DNS0 and DNS1 are 192.168.1.1.
These values may be changed by the user - consult with
your IT department for more information.

Enable DHCP
Normally, this option is left unchecked, however in some
cases you may want to allow the network to assign an IP
address to the AQE. However, please note that once you
select this option, you will need a network scanning
tool to find the AQE's IP address before you will be able
to log into the AQE and that the IP address of the AQE
may change periodically.
You must click the “Submit” button at the bottom right of this
area to save the changes in this section. The new setting will
take effect after the AQE product is power cycled, or rebooted.
2.4 Configuring the Administration Settings
On the top right of the Configure page is the “Administration
Setting” area. The settings in this area include:
Admin User Password
The default password for the admin account is admin. This
may be changed to any password of at least 5 characters.
ENTER the new password into the "Admin User Password"
field. If changing the password, ENTER it again into the
"Verify Admin Password" field. These two fields must match
in order to successfully change the password. CLICK the
"Submit" button - a popup message will confirm a successful
password change. When you leave the configure page, the
AQE will ask you to re-log in.
Insert Date
ENTER the correct date in the specified value field. It
should be noted that the format is YYYY-MM-DD. For
example, for February, you should enter “02” not “2”.
Insert Time
ENTER the correct time in the specified field. The format
is HH:MM:SS.
CLICK the “Submit” button to save the time and date
settings.
2.5 Configuring the SNMP Settings
In the SNMP Setting block, under the "Basic" heading, SET
Community to "public" and SET Location to a meaningful
name of your choice. This entry will help you identify
the specific AQE when multiple AQEs are installed on
the same subnet. In the example, "LSP" is entered. This
entry will be read by an SNMP system as "syslocation,"
OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6. The default port for SNMP is Port 161.
Be sure to open the SNMP port if accessing SNMP outside
your firewall. CLICK the "Submit" button at the bottom of the
"Basic" section to save the settings, otherwise you will lose
