high-quality network cable and RJ45 connector.
2. The maximum PoE output power depends on the cable length,
the quality of cable, and DC input voltage.
3. Please power on the device after changing the DIP switch
mode.

PoE Mode:
PoE Mode Description
Standard/
802.3bt Fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standard.
Legacy
The legacy detection is to identify the valid current signature of
the PDs that do not fully follow the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standard.
This protects against damage to the PDs as the right PoE mode
is applied.
The PoE++ Injector also supports Force Power Mode in the
Legacy mode. If the output power of the PoE++ Injector in
the Legacy Mode is less than 1 watt for 20 seconds, the Force
Mode will be enabled for 2 seconds. If the loading is still less
than 1 watt, the Legacy Mode will be enabled again.

11
The POE-171A series and POE-176-95 in the Force Mode
will also provide a maximum power to the PD. TO PREVENT
THE DEVICES FROM DAMAGE, please make sure the remote
devices supports either the Legacy or Force Mode before turning
the DIP switch to the Legacy Mode.
1. For safety, power off the device first before adjusting the DIP
switch setting. After the adjustment, turn back on the device.
2. Before connecting the Ethernet+DC port to network device,
please make sure that it accepts PoE input to prevent
damage.

5. Hardware Installation
The following section describes the hardware installation of the POE-171A
series and POE-176-95. 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/POE-176-95 provides you with
a way out to supply power to this Ethernet device conveniently and easily.
The POE-171A series/POE-176-95 is equipped with a power adaptor which is
100-240V AC input, and can inject DC 52~56V (POE-171A-Series) and DC
52~54V (POE-176-95) 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/POE-176-95 Installation
1. Connect the AC power adaptor to the “52-5xV DC IN” of the POE-171A
series/POE-176-95; the “PWR” LED will be steadily on.
2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from an Ethernet switch or PC worksta-
tion to the “Ethernet” port of the POE-171A series/POE-176-95
3. Connect the long cable to the “Ethernet+DC” port of the POE-171A series/
POE-176-95 and the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PD.

13
4. The POE-171A series/POE-176-95, adopting the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt tech-
nology, can directly connect with any IEEE 802.3af/at/bt end-nodes, such
as PTZ (pan, tilt & zoom) network cameras, PTZ speed dome cameras, color
touch screen, Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones and multi-channel wireless
LAN access points as the screen in Figure 3 is shown below.

Once the POE-171A series/POE-176-95 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.
1. The 10Gbps speed is available for the POE 176-95 only.
2. Since the PoE ports of the POE-171A series (52-56V DC) and
POE-176-95 (52-54V DC) support different DC PoE power
output, check whether the PD accepts the DC power range.
Otherwise, it will damage the PD.
