1 Introduction
PCIe-PoE550X is one of the world’s first 10Gbit Ethernet NIC incorporating IEEE
802.3at PoE+ capability, featuring Intel’s X550-AT2 silicon, Neousys Technology’s
PCIe-PoE550X offers cost-effective 10GBAST-T solution for growing 10GbE
applications.
1.1 PCIe-PoE550X Overview
PCIe-PoE550X features 10GbE NIC incorporating Power over Ethernet (PoE+)
capability. It features Neousys’ proven 802.3at PoE+ technology and refined power
design to ensure optimal signal integrity over 10G PHY and maximal bandwidth. The
combination of 10GbE and PoE
opens the door to new applications
such as high-performance WiFi
access points and high-speed/
high-definition industrial cameras
over single Ethernet cable.
10GBAST-T leverages twisted-pair
copper cable and RJ-45 connector
that dramatically reduces the
deployment cost of 10G network.
PCIe-PoE550X provides 10Gbit/s
connections over a distance of up to
100 meters with CAT 6a cable or 55
meters with CAT 6 cable. It also
supports upcoming NBASE-T
standard as well as backward
compatibility with existing
1000BASE-T GbE network so you can easily implement it into your current network
infrastructure.

2.4 DIP Switches
PCIe-PoE550X features individual
per-port power on/off control via
Neousys’API so you may manually
cut off or resume the power delivery
to the connected PoE device. This
feature is designed for failure
recovery in the field to reset
connected devices. In case you have
installed multiple cards, there is a set
of DIP switches (shown below) for
users to configure board ID. The
board ID can be used as a parameter
in API to specify the card.
2.4.1 Switching Between PoE (af) and PoE+ (at) Mode
The PCIe-PoE550X offers two modes, users can choose between af mode (IEEE
802.3af) or high at mode (IEEE 802.3at) by configuring DIP switch 4.

3.2 Software Installation
Some operating systems may have built-in drivers included and automatically complete
the installation upon entering the system. However, it is still recommended to run and
install drivers provided by Neousys to take advantage of all the functions offered. To
install the software component, please refer to the following procedure.
3.2.1 Installing Drivers Using Automatic Driver Installation
1. Plug in the power cable and power up the system.
2. Once you are in the system, insert the Neousys driver DVD included in the
package into the DVD-ROM.
3. A setup utility launches and the following dialog appears, Click on the “Automatic
Driver Installation”. The setup utility will automatically detect your operating system
and install corresponding driver for PCIe-PoE550X. The installation process takes
about 2 ~ 3 minutes and once all drivers have been installed, the setup utility will
automatically reboot your Windows to complete the installation process.
3.2.2 Installing Drivers Manually
You may also manually install the driver for PCIe-PoE550X. Please refer to the
following information about installing the driver for different operating system.

4 Driver and Network Settings
PCIe-PoE550X offers 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via Intel® X550-AT2 controller.
When connecting to a high-speed PoE device, such as a GigE camera, you can
configure driver settings for optimum transmission throughput and connection stability.
4.1 Jumbo Frame
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. By
increasing the payload size, large data packets can be transferred with less interruption,
which reduces CPU utilization and increases overall data throughput. Intel® X550-AT2
10GbE controller supports jumbo frame size of up to 15.5 Kbytes. Once the Intel®
X550-AT2 controller driver is installed, you may configure jumbo frame settings by
executing the following steps:
1. On your keyboard, press Windows key + E, right click on Network and select
Properties.
