Note
PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) is a device
(switch, or hub for instance) that will provide
power in a PoE setup. Maximum allowed contin-
uous output power per such device in IEEE 802.3af
is 15.4W, 30W in IEEE 802.3at pre-standard.
PD (Powered Device) is a PoE-enabled terminal
by PSE and thus consumes energy, such as IP
Phones, network cameras and Wireless access
points, etc

5. Hardware Installation
This IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High Power over Ethernet Adapter
provides three different running speeds – 10Mbps, 100Mbps and
1000Mbps in the same device and automatically distinguishes
the speed of incoming connection. Please refer to following
sections for detail information about IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High
Power over Ethernet Adapter.
5-1 POE-161
The following section describes the hardware features of POE-
161. Before connecting any network device to the POE-161,
read this chapter carefully.
Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check your
network environment. If there is any IEEE 802.3at devices need
higher power to power on and work normally, the POE-161 can
provide you a way to supply power for this Ethernet device
conveniently and easily. The POE-161 equips with an AC-DC
adapter with DC 56V input and injects this DC power into the
pin of the twisted pair cable (pair 4, 5 and pair 7, 8).
If there is very difcult to nd a power socket for AC-DC
Adapter of your non IEEE 802.3at networked device, the POE-
161 and POE-161S can provide you a way to supply DC power
for this Ethernet device conveniently and easily.
Note
The POE-161 and POE-161S can be installed in
pair. However, the use of third-party device is
allowed if the device complied with IEEE 802.3at
Power over Ethernet pre-standard.

17
POE-161, the Injector Installation
1. Connect the AC adapter to “DC 56V” of POE-161. The power
LED will be steady on.
2. Connect a standard network cable from Switch/workstation to
“Ethernet” port of POE-161.
3. Connect the long cable that will be used to connect to the
remote device to the port “Ethernet + DC”.
4. Connect with IEEE 802.3at devices, due to the capability of
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet pre-standard, the POE-
161 can directly connect with any IEEE 802.3at end-nodes
such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) network cameras, PTZ Speed
Dome, color touch- screen Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones,
multi- channel wireless LAN access points where support IEEE
802.3af In-line Power over Ethernet port. The screen in Figure
3 appears.

Once POE-161 detects the existence of an IEEE 802.3at device,
the POE In-use LED indicator will be steady on to shows it is
providing power.
Note
If the connected device is not fully complying with
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet pre-standard or
in-line power device, the LED indicator of POE-161
will not be steady on.
POE-161 and POE-161S, the IEEE 802.3at Injector Splitter
Installation
1. Connect the AC adapter to “DC 56V” of POE-161. The power
LED will be steady on.
2. Connect a standard network cable from “Ethernet+DC” port
of POE-161 to “PoE In” port of POE-161S. The POE In-use
LED of POE-161 / POE-161S will light on continuance.
3. Connect a standard network cable from Switch/workstation to
“Ethernet” port of POE-161.
4. Connect the UTP cable in the package from “Ethernet” port
of POE-161S to the RJ-45 port of remote device.
5. Adjust proper DC power output and connect DC plug from
“DC OUT” of POE-161S to remote device.
6. Power on the remote device and its power LED indicator will
remains on.

Note
1. According to IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet
pre-standard, the POE-161 will not inject power
to the cable if not connecting to IEEE 802.3at
devices.
2. Please ensure the output voltage is correct
before applying power to remote device.
5-2 POE-161S
The following section describes the hardware features of POE-
161S. Before connecting any network device to the POE-161S,
read this chapter carefully.
Before Installation
If your network environment is very difcult to nd a power
socket for your AC-DC Adapter of networked device, the POE-
161S provide DC power for this Ethernet Device conveniently
and easily.

20
The POE-161S separates the power out and provide two kind
of DC power output through its DIP switch and its voltage and
current shown as below:
- 5V DC / 4.5A
- 12V DC / 2A
The default value will be set on 5V.
Hint
Please check the power requirement of the device
that is going to get the power from POE-161S. If
the power requirement is higher than POE-161S
can supply, current overload will shutdown the
POE-161S itself. Thus, it will shutdown your device
as well.
POE-161 and POE-161S can be installed in pair. However, use
of third-party device is allowed if the device complied with IEEE
802.3at Power over Ethernet pre-standard.
