Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
PCIe-PoE354at is world’s first PoE frame grabber card combing server-grade GigE
controller and 802.3at PoE+ capability. Inheriting Neousys’ expertise in PoE technology,
PCIe-PoE354at further implements the updated 802.3at-2009 standard and offers up to
25.5W of power each port.
PCIe-PoE354at is designed with state-of-the-art Intel® I350 Gigabit Ethernet controller.
This server-grade GigE controller incorporates advanced features, such as checksum
offloading, segmentation offloading and intelligent interrupt generation/moderation, to
increase overall Ethernet performance and reduce CPU utilization. In addition, its
single-bus, multi-port topology minimizes the compatibility issue with off-the-shelf
motherboards when installing multiple cards.
Machine vision applications can be benefited by PCIe-PoE354at’s server-grade network
performance. Its 25.5W PoE+ can now power PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras for surveillance
applications. PCIe-PoE354at presents the best cost/performance ratio for your Power over
Ethernet solution.

Chapter 3 Getting Start
3.1 Configure Board ID of PCIe-PoE354at/352at
PCIe-PoE354at/352at offers the feature of per-port power on/off control. You can manually
cut off or resume the power delivered to connected PoE+ PD device using Neousys’
provided API. This feature enables the capability of failure recovery in the field as you have
the way to rest each PD device. To support per-port on/off control for multiple cards,
PCIe-PoE354at/352at incorporates a DIP switch to configure user-defined board ID. The
board ID can be used as a parameter in API to specify the PCIe-PoE354at/352at card.
The DIP switch is located on the upper-left corner of PCB. P1 ~ P3 of DIP switch are used
to specify the board ID. You can configure the board ID by set the position of P1 ~ P3
according to the following table.
Board ID DIP Switch Position (P1 ~ P3)

3.2 Configure 12 VDC Source (PCIe-PoE354at Only)
PCIe-PoE354at/352at requires 12 VDC power for its PoE+ PSE function. By default, both
PCIe-PoE354at and PCIe-PoE352at obtain 12 VDC directly from the PCI Express
connector so no external power plug is needed.
As PCIe-PoE354at requires 9.6 Amaximal current, some motherboards may not supply
sufficient current on its PCI Express connector. In this case, you need to supply 12 VDC
from the standard ATX power supply via a 4-pin power plug. P4 of the DIP switch on
PCIe-PoE354at allows users to manually configure the source of 12 VDC.
Position of P4 12 VDC Source
12 VDC is from PCI Express connector
12 VDC is from 4-pin power connector

3.3 Install the PCIe-PoE352at
PCIe-PoE352at utilizes the x4 PCI Express bus to communicate with the host computer.
Before you install the PCIe-PoE352at, please make sure that there is a x4 PCI Express slot
available on your host computer.
Note
Most modern computers have x16 PCI Express slot(s) for installing a graphics card. It can be
possibly configured as a PCI Express Root Port for installing a general PCI Express card. Please
contact the vendor of your computer to check if PCIe-PoE352at can be fitted into your x16 PCI
Express slot.
You can install the PCIe-PoE352at PoE+ frame grabber card by following the steps listed
below.
1. Configure Board ID if necessary according to section 3.1.
2. Open the chassis of the host computer and expose the x4 PCI Express slot (or a
compatible x16 PCI Express slot).
3. Align and insert the golden-finger connector of PCIe-PoE352at into the PCI Express
slot until it’s firmly contacted.
4. Fix the PCIe-PoE352at to the host computer using with a screw.

6. If the PCIe-PoE354at is configured to obtain 12 VDC from 4-pin power connector, plug
in the 4-pin power plug from yourATX power supply and make sure they are firmly
contacted.
Note
When configuring PCIe-PoE354at to obtain 12 VDC from 4-pin power connector. For most

PCIe-PoE354at/PCIe-PoE352at User’s Manual
Copyright © 2015 Neousys Technology Inc. All Right Reserved. Page 16 of 31
cases, you can use the 4-pin power plug (+5V/Red, GND/Black, GND/Black, +12V/Yellow)
from theATX power supply inside the host computer. Please alwaysconfirm the polarity before
you plug the external power into the on-board 4-pin power connector.
3.5 Connect a PoE or Non-PoE Device
PoE, or Power over Ethernet, is a technology to supply electrical power along with data on
a standard Ethernet cable. By detecting and classifying the connected device before
supplying power to device, PCIe-PoE354at and PCI-PoE352at can work with both PoE
Powered Devices (PD) and regular Ethernet devices.
ACAT5 or CAT6 cable is usually used for PoE applications. Since PCIe-PoE354at and
PCIe-PoE352at are designed for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, a CAT-6 cable is highly
recommended. Per IEEE 802.3at specification, each port of PCIe-PoE354at/352at can
delivers 25.5 W of power to a PoE PD device over a cable of up to 100 meters.

4.2 Driver Settings
PCIe-PoE354at and PCIe-352at offer the Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via Intel® I350 GbE
controller. When connecting to a high-speed PoE device, such as a GigE camera, you can
adjust some driver settings to have better transmission throughput and connection stability.
In this section, we’ll discuss these settings. You can refer to the information to fine tune your
system.
4.2.1 Jumbo Frame
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. By increasing
the payload size, a certain large amount of data can be transferred with less interrupts
generated, which reduces the CPU utilization and increases overall data throughput. Intel®
I350 GbE controller supports jumbo frame size of up to 9.5 Kbytes. When you connecting
an Ethernet device with high date rate (e.x. a Gigabit Ethernet camera), enabling jumbo
frame feature is highly recommended.
After installing the driver for Intel® I350 GbE controller, you can change the jumbo frame
settings by following the steps listed below.
1. Open the Network Connections and double-click on a corresponding Local Area
Connection.

PCIe-PoE354at/PCIe-PoE352at User’s Manual
Copyright © 2015 Neousys Technology Inc. All Right Reserved. Page 20 of 31
2. Click Configure button and a property dialog appears. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. Select the Jumbo Packet settings, and select the expected jumbo frame size. (for
connecting a Ethernet device with high data rate, 9014 Bytes is suggested)
