2.1 Preliminary Steps

Perform the following before you begin the installation:

  • Apply AC power to the PD-9601GS, using an operational AC cable with an appropriate ground connection
  • Connect an output Ethernet cable to the DATA & POWER OUT port
  • Verify that a power-ready Ethernet compatible device is connected
    Warning: Do not use a crossover cable between the PD-9601GS output port and the load device.
  • The PD-9601GS can be placed on a desktop. Before placing the PD-9601GS:
    • Do not cover PD-9601GS or block the airflow to the PoE with any foreign objects
    • Keep the PD-9601GS away from excessive heat and humidity and free from vibration and dust
    • Ensure that the cable length from Ethernet network source to the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (330 feet). The PoE is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
    • Use a splitter if desired; ensure that the splitter is connected close to the terminal and not on the PD-9601GS
    • No on/off switch exists; simply plug the PD-9601GS into an AC power source
