3 About the Power over Ethernet
Midspan
Microsemi’s family of Power over Ethernet Midspans 96xx inject power
over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. Employing these devices reduces the
need for AC outlets, local UPS and AC/DC adapters near PDs.
PD-9606G/9612G Midspans support 6 and 12 ports respectively, in a
10/100/1000BaseTx Ethernet network, over TIA/EIA-568 category 5/5e/6
cabling. 96xxG family can provide up to 95W according to the new PoH
(Part of HDBaseT) standard. 96xxG series implements a Twin High (TH)
PSE system, delivering 47.5W over 2 pairs (total 95W). DC power is fed
over both spare and data pairs of wires within a cable (1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and
7/8) to terminal units.
RPS family can provide backup or additional power to PD-96xxG
products.
Power over Ethernet Midspan normally powers devices that are Power
over Ethernet enabled or are equipped to receive power over Ethernet.
These devices are called Powered Devices (PDs).
Features of the Power over Ethernet Midspan include:
Safe and reliable power over an existing Ethernet
infrastructure
Remote management using Web control and/or SNMPv3
Highest level of network security
Safe solution that protects network infrastructure
Standards compliant: PoH and 802.3at
Provides safe Power + Data over a single RJ45 cable

The following sections detail 96xxG ports and their functions.
3.1.1 Data Input Ports
Midspan has 6 or 12 10/100/1000Base-T Data In ports, located on PoE
front panel (Figure 3-1), configured in a non-crossover manner (straight-
wired).
These ports are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over:
Standard 4-wire pairs (pins 1/2, 3/6, 4/5 and 7/8)
(1000Base-T)
2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) (10/100Base-T)
3.1.2 Data and Power Output Ports
Midspan has 6 or 12 10/100/1000Base-T Data & Power Out ports,
located on the front panel (see Figure 3-1). These ports are configured in
a non-crossover manner (straight-wired) and carry Ethernet data over:
Standard 4-wire pairs (pins 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8)
(1000Base-T)
2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) (10/100Base-T)
PD-96xxG series carry DC power over 4-wire pairs (pins
4/5, 7/8 and pins 1/2, 3/6)

Power over Ethernet Midspan is not a repeater; therefore maximum
distance from Ethernet switch must not exceed 100 meters (328ft).
Power over Ethernet Midspan is guaranteed to work only within this
distance, as specified in IEEE 802.3 AT standard.

4 Power over Ethernet Midspan
Installation
The following sections describe how to install a Power over Ethernet
Midspan.
4.1 Background Information
As shown in Figure 4-1, Midspan is connected in series to an Ethernet
switch/hub. Switch’s data output terminals are connected to Midspan.
Midspan delivers power over 4-wire twisted pairs (pins 7/8, 4/5 and pins
1/2, 3/6) in PD-96xxG series of Category 5e cabling, regardless to data
quality. Most installations require Midspan to be rack-mounted.
Figure 4-1: Typical Installation
4.2 Verifying Kit Contents
Unpack kit and verify the following items are included:
Power over Ethernet Midspan
Mounting brackets (for 19-inch racks) and a plastic cover
Screws for assembling mounting brackets
Self-adhesive rubber feet

One Enterprise Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 USA
User guide
Power cord
Before proceeding, record unit’s serial number in the rectangle below for
future reference. Serial number is found on the information label at the
back of the Power over Ethernet Midspan.
Serial Number
4.3 Rack Mounting Brackets
Midspan comes with 19-inch mounting brackets and screws.
To install Midspan into a 19-inch rack:
1. Remove self-adhesive rubber feet from the bottom surface.
2. Install brackets using two screws per side.
Note: Rack-mounting screws are not provided.
Figure 4-2: Installing Mounting Brackets
4.4 Installation Factors
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed
in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, operating
ambient temperature in rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install

© Microsemi Corp. Microsemi Page 17
Rev.B01 CPG –Poe BU
One Enterprise Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 USA
equipment in an environment compatible with
manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature
(Tmra).
Reduced Air Flow: Install equipment in a rack in a
manner that does not compromise the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of equipment.
Mechanical Loading: When mounting equipment in
rack, ensure mechanical loading is even.
Circuit Overloading: Take into consideration the
connection of equipment to supply circuit and the effect
overloading of circuits might have on over-current
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings must be given when
addressing this concern.
Reliable Grounding (Earthing): Maintain reliable
earthing of rack mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections, other than direct
connections to branch circuit (for example, the use of
power strips).
4.5 Connecting Ethernet Cables
Ports on Midspan’s front panel are configured as "Pass Through" ports for
eight (1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 5, 7, 8) conductors of RJ-45 connectors. Use Category
5 cabling when making connections.
1. Connect cables from Ethernet Switch to DATA IN ports (lower row on
front panel).
2. Connect cables from PoH or IEEE 802.3at ready terminals (PDs) to
corresponding DATA & POWER OUT ports (upper row on front panel).
4.6 Connecting Power Cables
When using an AC source to power Midspan, plug in the provided power
cord to back AC connector.

Rev.B01 CPG –Poe BU
One Enterprise Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 USA
4.7 Powering Up the Unit
Power over Ethernet Midspan has no on/off switch. To apply or remove
power from Midspan, insert or remove power cable to receptacle (AC) on
the back panel of the unit.
With power applied;
Midspan powers-up.
Internal fan operates.
Device runs its Power-On Self-Test (POST), which takes
less than 10 seconds. During POST, all ports are
disabled and indicators illuminate in the following
sequence:
oPort indicators and Power indicators illuminate in green.
oPower indicator remains lit in green; port indicators are off.
Ports are now ready (enabled) for normal operation.
If LEDs are not lit, refer to Troubleshooting on page 19.

5 Troubleshooting
The following sections describe troubleshooting procedures to be used if
you encounter any problems with your unit.
5.1 Preliminary Steps
If you have a problem, verify:
Power is applied to Midspan.
A crossover-type Ethernet cable has not been used.
Ethernet cable from network is connected to DATA port.
Ethernet cable to PD is connected to DATA & POWER
port.
Cable pairs are attached to their corresponding ports.

5.2 Troubleshooting Steps
This section provides a symptom and resolution sequence to assist in
troubleshooting of minor operating problems. If steps given do not solve
your problem, do not hesitate to call your local dealer for further
assistance. Refer to Table 5-1.
Table 5-1: Troubleshooting Steps
Symptom
Corrective Steps
Midspan does not
power up
1. Make sure power cord is properly connected.
2. Verify voltage at power inlet is between 100 and
240VAC.
3. Remove and reapply power to device and check
indicators during power up sequence.
A port indicator is
not lit and
corresponding
PD does not
operate.
1. Verify port is enabled (Midspan did not detect a
PD).
2. Verify PD is designed for Power over Ethernet
operation.
3. Verify you are using a standard Category 5/5e/6,
straight-wired cable, with four pairs.
4. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it
with a viable splitter.
5. Verify PD is connected to DATA & POWER
OUTPUT port.
6. Try to reconnect the same PD to a different port
on the same Midspan or on another one. If it works,
there is probably a faulty output port or RJ-45
connection.
7. Verify port shutdown command was not issued
via Web management.
