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

5.Hardware Installation
The following section describes the hardware features of
POE-171A series. Before connecting any network device to it,
please read this chapter carefully.
5.1 Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check your
network environment. If there is any IEEE 802.3bt device that
needs to be powered on and works normally, the POE-171A
series provides you with a way out to supply power to this
Ethernet device conveniently and easily. The POE-171A series is
equipped with a power adaptor which is 100-240V AC input and
injects DC 52V~56V power into the pin of the twisted pair cable
(pair 1/2 [-], 3/6 [+] and pair 4/5 [+], 7/8 [-]).
5.2 POE-171A series Installation
1. Connect the AC power adaptor to “52-56V DC IN” of POE-
171A series; the “PWR” LED will be steadily on.
2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from an Ethernet switch or
PC workstation to “Ethernet” port of POE-171A series.
3. Connect the long cable to “Ethernet+DC” port.
4. Connect with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt devices. Due to the capa-
bility of IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Power over Ethernet, the POE-
171A series can directly connect with any IEEE 802.3af/at/bt
end-nodes, such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) network cameras,
PTZ speed dome, color touch screen, Voice over IP (VoIP)
telephones and multi-channel wireless LAN access points
which support IEEE 802.3af/at/bt In-line Power over Ethernet
port. The screen in Figure 3 appears.

Once POE-171A series detects the existence of an IEEE 802.3af/
at/bt device, the PoE-in-Use LED indicator will be steadily on
to show it is providing power.
Note
Since the PoE port of POE-171A series supports
52-56V DC PoE power output, please check and
assure the powered device (PD) accepts DC power
range of 52-56V DC. Otherwise, it will damage the
powered device (PD).
5.3 POE-171A series and POE-172S Installation
Note
Please turn off POE-172S before you switch to DC
power output mode.
1. Adjust proper DC power output and connect DC plug from
“DC OUT” of POE-172S to remote device.
2. Connect the power adaptor to “52-56V DC IN” of POE-171A
series; the “PWR” LED will be steadily on.
3. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from “Ethernet+DC”
port of POE-171A series to “PoE In” port of POE-172S. The

17
“30W” and “60W+” LED of POE-172S and the “PoE-in-
Use” of POE-171A series will light up continuously.
4. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from an Ethernet switch or
PC workstation to “Ethernet” port of POE-171A series.
5. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from “Ethernet” port of
POE-171S to the remote Ethernet device.
6. The remote device will be turned on.

Note
1. According to IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Power over
Ethernet, the POE-171A series will not inject
power to the cable if not connected to IEEE
802.3af/at/bt device.
2. Please ensure the POE-172S output voltage is
correct before applying power to remote device.
The POE-172S provides DC12V/19V/24V power
output.
5.4 POE-171A series and POE-E304 Installation
1. Connect the power adaptor to “52-56V DC IN” of POE-171A
series; the “PWR” LED will be steadily on.

18
2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from “Ethernet+DC” port
of POE-171A series to the “PoE IN” port of POE-E304.
3. The POE-171A series delivers both Ethernet Data and PoE
power over UTP cable to the POE-E304 and the POE-in-Use
LED of POE-171A series and “PWR” LED of POE-E304 will
light up continuously.
4. Connect the additional standard Ethernet cable that will be
used for connecting to the remote powered device (PD) to the
“PoE OUT” port of POE-E304.
5. The “PoE OUT” port is also the power injectors which
transmit DC Voltage to the standard network cable and
transfer data and power simultaneously between the POE-
171A series and PD.
6. Once POE-E304 detects the existence of an IEEE 802.3af/at
device, the “PoE OUT” LED indicator will be steadily ON to
show it is providing power.

device, the PoE OUT LED indicator of POE-E304
will not be steadily on.
2. According to IEEE 802.3af/at standard, the
POE-E304 will not inject power to the cable if
not connected to a standard IEEE 802.3af/at
device.
