PoE
The EdgeConnect 10106 SD-WAN Gateway supports PoE IEEE 802.3 af, IEEE 802.3 at, and IEEE 802.3
bt up to Type 3 Class6 to provide power to connected devices. PoE is enabled by default to provide
plug and play capability for PoE capable devices. The cross-over adapter that is included in the
package might be needed when connecting to pre-standard (legacy) powered devices that are
polarity sensitive.
The gateway supports a total available power of 60W in PoE mode. Each PoE port can support up to
IEEE 802.3 bt Type 3 Class 6 (60W).
DC Power Connector
The AC-DC adapter kit with the following specification is used to power the EC-10106.
54V/3.05A power interface
4 PIN Power Molding circular plug
Ethernet Ports
The EC-10106 SD-WAN Gateway is equipped with two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports with PoE
(LAN0, LAN1), two combo ports (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports or 1G SFP) (LAN2, WAN2), and two
1G/10G SFP+ ports (WAN0, WAN1).
Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is bidirectional, which means the same pair is used
for both data transmission and reception. Figure 3 illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for an
RJ-45 connector. The pins paired on a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/ 6, 4/5, and
7/8.
Figure 3 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
Each Ethernet port is equipped with two LEDs that monitor link/port status and activity.
LINK/ACT: Placed on the left side of the port; displays the link status and activity of the port.
STATUS: Placed on the right side of the port; displays the speed of the port.

Chapter 2
Installation
This chapter describes how to install the HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect 10106 SD-WAN
Gateway.
You can mount the Gateway on any flat surface such as a desktop or a shelf. You can also mount the
Gateway in a standard, 19-inch Telco rack or on a wall using the appropriate accessory kit provided
by HPE Aruba Networking.
Installation Recommendations
For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance on the left, right, front, and rear
side of the SD-WAN Gateway.
Leave additional space in front and rear side of the Gateway to access power cords, network
cables, and indicator LEDs.
Avoid placing anything on top of the Gateway because it can lead to overheating of the Gateway.
Avoid placing this Gateway on any other device because the heat dissipated from the other device
can over heat the Gateway.
Precautions
Dangerous voltage above 240 V AC is always present while an HPE Aruba Networking gateway is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Remove all rings, jewelry, and other potentially conductive
material before working with this device.
Never insert foreign objects into the chassis, power supply, or any other component, even when
the power supply is turned off, unplugged, or removed.
Ensure that the main power is fully disconnected from the Gateway by unplugging all power cords
from their outlets. For safety, verify that the power outlets and plugs are easily reachable by the
operator.
Do not handle electrical cables that are not insulated. This also includes network cables.
Keep water and other fluids away from the Gateway to minimize electrical hazards.
Comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the
product. Do not allow the Gateway’s chassis, network ports, power supply, or mounting brackets
to contact any device, cable, object, or person attached to a different electrical ground. Also, never
connect the device to external storm grounding sources.
Perform installation or removal of the chassis or any module in a static-free environment. Proper
use of anti-static body straps and mats is strongly recommended.
Modules must be kept in anti-static packaging when not installed in the chassis.
Do not ship or store this product near strong electromagnetic, electrostatic, magnetic, or
radioactive fields.
This product, power cords, and all interconnected cables are for indoor use only.
!
Installation of the device should be performed by a trained installation professional.
