Setting up the Power Supply
Power to the Network Jack can be supplied one of the following ways:
■
Over the network via an integrated switch that supports
Power Over Ethernet.
■
Over the network via a multi-port Ethernet power supply.
■
Over the network via a single-port Ethernet power supply.
■
Locally via a 3Com local power supply.
Before you begin the installation, determine which type of
power supply the Network Jack will use.
Using an Integrated Switch with Power Over Ethernet
To use Power Over Ethernet, you must have a switch on the
network that has Power Over Ethernet integrated into it. You
must then determine if it is compatible with Capacitive Power
Discovery Process (24V or 48V) or IEEE 802.3af.
Using a Multi-port Ethernet Power Supply
To use a multi-port Ethernet power supply, you must connect the
power supply to your network, as shown in the illustration on
page 11.
