1 Introduction
The PCIe-PoE425bt is a 4-port 2.5GBASE-T PoE++ card leveraging the cutting-edge Intel® I225
controller. It is in compliance with IEEE 802.3bz standard to provide 2.5 Gbps bandwidth and is
backward-compatible with 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-TE Ethernet.
The PCIe-PoE425bt also features IEEE 802.3bt PSE capability. IEEE 802.3bt, or PoE++, the latest
addition to Power over Ethernet specifications, allowing a single port to provide up to 90W of
power supplied to a PD over a standard CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cable. While COTS high PoE
PTZ cameras and outdoor WIFI access points may require higher power than 30W, the PCIe-
PoE425bt is particularly useful for directly connecting and powering these devices without an
external PoE++ injector.
By incorporating 2.5GBASE-T and PoE++ technologies, the PCIe-PoE425bt is the ideal choice for
machine vision and surveillance applications with advanced PoE devices, such as PTZ camera,
high-performance WIFI access point and industrial NBASE-T camera.

2.3 DIP Switches
PCIe-PoE425bt 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 at and bt Modes
The PCIe-PoE425bt card offers two power supply source methods. Users can choose between at
mode (IEEE 802.3at) or high at mode (IEEE 802.3bt) by configuring DIP switch 4.

5 Network Settings
PCIe-PoE425bt offers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via Intel I225-IT 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.
5.1 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® I225-IT controller supports jumbo
frame size of up to 9.5 Kbytes. Once the Intel I225-IT 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.
