1 About This Guide
The following sections define the manual objectives, concepts used, conventions used and associated
documentation.
1.1 Objectives
This user guide introduces PowerDsine’s IPv4/IPv6 capable Outdoor Power View Pro Web, SNMP and Telnet
management features used for managing PowerDsine’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) product line of IPv4/IPv6
capable PoE devices, including:
Device list:
oPDS-102GO/AC/M –The PDS-102GO/AC/M is an outdoor PoE switch that enables connecting
two powered devices to the network. The switch will deliver PoE power up to 30W per device. In
addition, it enables remote monitoring and controlling of the status of the devices. The major
benefit of the PDS-102GO/AC/M outdoor unit is that it extends the maximum reach of the
network switch by an additional 100 meters (to a total of 200 meters between the switch and the
powered devices), while providing up to 2 x 30 watts to its network-powered PoE devices.
1.2 Audience
This guide is intended for network administrators, supervisors and installation technicians who have a
background in:
Basic concepts and terminology of networking
Network topology
Protocols
Microsoft Windows environment

2 Introducing the Power View Pro (IPv4, IPv6)
PowerDsine’s Power View Pro refers to the various management interfaces provided by the unit for remote
management, including Web, SNMP, and Telnet. Management can be done over IPv4, IPv6 or both network
protocols. The system provides direct online power supervision, configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics of
PowerDsine products via Web / SNMPv2c / SNMPv3 / Telnet/ SSH.
2.1 Features
The manager provides a number of unique features along with multiple access options:
Supported network IP protocols:
oIPv4 –IP address is made out of 32 bits (static / DHCPv4).
oIPv6 –IP address is made out of 128 bits (static / DHCPv6).
Access Options:
oHTTP: Web-based friendly configuration interface for managing remote Outdoor Power over
Ethernet devices.
oSNMP:
SNMPv2c for non-secured SNMP management
SNMPv3 for secured plus encrypted management
RFC1213 MIB-II Network statistics
RFC3621 Power over Ethernet (PoE) SNMP MIBs
Private MIB extension for RFC3621 PoE MIB
oTelnet: Remote terminal over IP Network
SysLog Server: Sends log events to remote SysLog Servers.
Easy software update during run time without affecting active PoE ports.
Configuration and real-time monitoring using graphical representations of the remote device
System status display.
Automatic activation / deactivation of PoE ports based on a weekly schedule configuration.

2.2 System Network Management Capabilities
The unit can be accessed from any computer using any Web browser, SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 management station
or Telnet.
Web Interface –used to view unit PoE and network status, unit configuration and view unit production
information.
SNMP v2/v3 –Monitor unit over the network (MIB-II RFC1213), monitor / configure unit PoE
capabilities (RFC3621).
Telnet –used to view unit PoE & network status, unit configuration and production information.
Software update, enable/disable PoE functionality, ping remote network devices for connectivity tests.
SNMP Traps –used to report various PoE events such as PoE PD insertion / removal.
SysLog –used to report PoE events, invalid remote user access, initial DHCPv4/v6 address, etc.
2.3 Ethernet Switch Network Capabilities
10M/100M/1000Mbit Half-Duplex / Full-Duplex Ethernet speed
8K internal MAC address lookup engine
Auto MDIX
Jumbo frames

The following Power over Ethernet (PoE) options are available:
IEEE 802.3at –Delivers up to 30 watts per port.
PoE Enable/Disable –Enable/disable PoE ports power output (Ethernet data is always enabled).
Weekly Schedule –Automatic activation/deactivation of PoE ports based on time of day.
Remote device reset –Turning temporary device power off and back on resets attached PD device.
2.5 Configuration Options
Web-based: Via a Web browser
SNMPv1/2c/3: Via an SNMP management application on a remote computer
Telnet: Via a Telnet application on a remote computer

The unit default IPv4 address is 192.168.0.50. Make sure that a computer network card is
configured to the same IPv4 network (for example 192.168.0.40).
NOTE:
For security reasons, when the unit is shipped the SNMP is disabled. Prior to enabling
SNMP, modify SNMP community strings and only then enable it.
