This connector allows you to connect airCUE to the external power with the supplied AC adapter. It is used

10/100 BaseT LAN incl. PoE Connector
The 10/100 BaseT LAN is a standard network connection 10/100 BaseT LAN using RJ-45 connector. There
is no auto sense, which means it does not recognize straight through cable to cross-over cable. For the
direct PC connection it is necessary to use cross-over cable; for the connection to Ethernet switch straight
through cable. The length of the Ethernet cable connecting touch panel to the network must not exceed 100
meters.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3a standard. PoE integrates data and power on
the same wires. It keeps the structured cabling safe and does not interfere with concurrent network
operation. PoE delivers 48 V of DC power over unshielded twisted-pair wiring for terminals consuming less
than 13 watts of power. PoE needs 802.3a compatible Ethernet switches currently available by most
leading network equipment vendors.

6.2. Charging
External Power Supply
For battery charging touch panel requires power from an external power supply. The standard CUEadapter
/30W is delivered with the unit. Attach the power jack connector of the power supply unit to the power supply
connector located on the bottom panel of airCUE and attach power cable to a power outlet. The green
indicator will light when external power supply is connected and red indicator will light when battery is
charging.
Docking Station
Tabletop Docking Station or Wall Docking Station can be used for charging. Both
docking stations are available and have to be ordered separately.
Docking station is powered by CUEadapter /30W delivered with the airCUE.
Attach the power jack connector of the power supply unit to the power supply
connector located on the bottom panel of docking station and attach power cable
to a power outlet.
Indicators located on the front panel of docking station indicate as follows
•Green indicator will light when external power supply is connected to docking station.
•Red indicator will light when airCUE is placed in docking station correctly.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Touch panel battery is automatically charged if PoE is applied. Be sure charging time is longer against
charging from external power supply.

6.3. PC Connection
Using LAN Directly to PC
Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet crossed-over cable to the touch panel CUEnet (LAN) port and attach
the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to your computer.
Ethernet Crossed-Over Cable
This cable can be used to cascade hubs, or for connecting two Ethernet stations back-to-back without a hub.
It works with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-T4 and 1000Base-T. Use a good enough cable, if you are
confused about categories of cables then use Category 5 (enhanced) and you'll be fine even at 1000Base-T.

That means that the White/Orange cable connected to NIC 1 pin 1 should go to NIC 2 pin 3 and NIC 1 pin 2
to NIC 2 pin 6 etc.
Notes
1. 1000Base-T names are in parentheses.
2. It's important that each pair is kept as a pair. TX+ & TX- must be in the pair and RX+ & RX- must
together in another pair. Just as the table above shows.
3. While 10Base-T and 100Base-TX only uses 2 pairs, please connect all four since 100Base-T4 and
1000Base-T needs them and save you some future debugging.
4. The colors originate from the numbering and name on NIC 1.
5. The connection is based on IEEE Standard 802.3, 2000 Edition.
