1 Introduction
PCIe-PoE454at is an industrial-grade 4-port 5GBASE-T frame grabber card with 802.3at PoE+
capability for advanced machine vision applications. It leverages Marvel AQC111C 5GBASE-T
Ethernet controller to offer dedicated 5 Gb/s Ethernet bandwidth for each port. Furthermore, it is
backward compatible with 2.5G, 1G, 100M link speeds to support legacy Ethernet devices and can
transmit data utilizing economical Cat 5e Ethernet cables up to 100 meters without bandwidth
degradation.
5GBASE-T, or NBASE-T, is an emerging technology, especially for the machine vision market.
Cameras with a 5GBASE-T Ethernet interface have up to 5 times the Ethernet bandwidth
compared to Gigabit Ethernet, thus supporting higher resolution and frame rate. PCIe-PoE454at
provides high port density to provide four 5GbE ports in a standard half-size PCIe card form factor.
In addition, it comes with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ PSE function so you can simply power the NBASE-T
camera using a single Ethernet cable.
For machine vision systems requiring multiple high-resolution 5GBASE-T cameras, PCIe-
PoE454at is the ideal frame grabber that provides high port density, 24/7 reliable operation, and
excellent throughput performance without frame loss.

2.3 DIP Switches
PCIe-PoE454at 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 (indicated in blue) for users to configure board ID. The
board ID can be used as a parameter in API to specify the card.
2.3.1 Switching Between INT and EXT Mode
The PCIe-PoE454at card offers two power supply source methods. Users can choose between
PCIe (INT mode) or from 6-pin (EXT mode) by configuring DIP switch 4.

4 Driver and Network Settings
PCIe-PoE454at offers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity viaAQC111C 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®AQC111C controller supports jumbo
frame size of up to 16.3 Kbytes. Once the AQC111C 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.
