DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: Two power inputs
must be connected in order to enable the power
redundancy alarm. The Fault LED indicator will light up
to if either Power 1 or Power 2 ceases to function.
However, the media converter will continue to work
normally even if the fault LED is lit, as long as the
other power source is functioning.
Terminal Block
The switch provides two power inputs on a 52-57VDC
terminal block. Only one power input is required to
operate the switch.

PoE
The device supports IEEE802.3at Power over
Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
Power consumption is 32.5 Watts (30W for PoE)
Max.

Note: After any DIP switch configuration change,
power down and then restart the unit.
LFPT: Link-Fault-Pass-Through allows network
operators to stay aware of network connection status.
If a link fails, the function will disable the link on the
other side, therefore notifying the connected device of
the link failure.
