Hardware Installation

Before connecting any network device to the POE-E201, it is recommended to check your network environment. If there are any far-away IEEE 802.3at/802.3af devices that need to be powered on, the POE-E201 can provide a convenient way to supply power to these Ethernet devices.

Note:

To ensure better PoE power and data extension quality, use Solid UTP Cable when installing the POE-E201.
The POE-E201 can be installed with a third-party device if the device is compliant with the IEEE 802.3at/802.3af standard.

Connecting POE-E201 to the Powered Device (PD)

Follow these steps to connect the POE-E201 to a remote PoE PD:

Connect the additional Cat.5/5e/6 cable from the OUT port of the POE-E201 to the remote PoE PD.

Hardware Installation

This section describes the hardware features of the POE-E201. Before connecting any network device to the POE-E201, read this chapter carefully.

Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check your network environment. If there are any far-away IEEE 802.3at/802.3af devices that need to be powered on, the POE-E201 can provide you with a way to supply power to this Ethernet device conveniently.The POE-E201 is installed between the PSE (power source equipment) and the PD (powered device); it is powered by PSE and forwards the Ethernet data and remaining POE power to the PD. The POE-E201 doesn’t require an external power supply and it can be installed easily by means of plug and play, meaning the operator does not need to configure the POE-E201. The POE-E201 injects power to the PDs without affecting the data transmission performance. It offers a cost-effective and quick solution to extend power and data by an additional 100 meters.

To provide you with a better PoE power and data extension quality, we strongly recommend you to use “Solid UTP Cable” when installing the POE-E201.
The POE-E201 can be installed with a third-party device if the device is compliant with the IEEE 802.3at/802.3af standard.

Connecting POE-E201 to the Power Source Equipment (PSE)
There are 2 RJ45 ports in the PoE-E201, of which the “IN” port functions as “PoE (Data and Power) input” and the “OUT” port on the other side functions as “PoE (Data and Power) output”.

Step 1: Connect a standard Cat.5/5e/6 UTP cable from a PSE, such as PoE switch, PoE injector hub or single port PoE injector, to the “IN” port of the POE-E201.
Step 2: The PSE delivers both Ethernet data and PoE power over UTP cable to the POE-E201 and the “PoE IN” LED will be steady on.

1. The green POE IN LED means the POE-E201 is being powered successfully with PoE class 0.
2. If the POE IN LED does not light up, check whether the cable connecting to a remote PSE, or the cable with a PC or a network device is correct or not. Or check whether the wattage of power to an IEEE 802.3at/802.3af powered device is right or not.

Connecting POE-E201 to the Powered Device (PD)

Step 3: Connect the additional Cat.5/5e/6 cable from the “OUT” port of the POE-E201 to a remote PoE PD.
Step 4: The “OUT” port is a power injector that transmits data and power simultaneously between the PSE and PD.
Step 5: Once the POE-E201 detects an IEEE 802.3at/802.3af PoE PD device, the “PoE OUT” LED indicator will light up in amber to show it is providing power.

1. If the connected device does not fully comply with the IEEE 802.3at/802.3af standard or in-line power device, the PoE OUT LED indicator of the POE-E201 will not be turned on.
2. According to the IEEE 802.3at/802.3af standard, the POE-E201 will not inject power if the PD is not the said standard.

Multiple PoE Extender Installation
The POE-E201 PoE+ Extender supports multiple units with daisychain installation. They can be employed in series for even longer distances based on remote PoE IP Camera or PoE Wireless Access Point power re-quirement.

Each POE-E201 can withstand a maximum of 2.6 watts. Check the total power consumption of your IEEE 802.3at/af PD and the POE-E201 before you make the daisy-chain connection. If the overall power consumption is overloaded, the local PSE could shut down the whole power system.
Each POE-E201 provides an extended distance of 100 meters over the Cat.5/5e/6 UTP cable. Use of other non-standard cable could result in unstable connection.

Wall-mount Installation
To install the POE-E201 on the wall, please follow the instructions described below.

Step 1: Find the wall that you want to mount the POE-E201 on.
Step 2: Refer to the picture below to screw the two screws on the wall. The distance between the 2 screws is 46.7mm and the line through them must be horizontal
Step 3: Hang the POE-E201 on the screws from the wall.

Optional – DIN-rail Mounting
There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the POE-E201 that allows it to be easily mounted on the DIN rail. If the DIN-rail mounting is opted, the DIN-rail mounting kit (RKE-DIN) has to be ordered as it is not included in the package. The following steps for DIN-rail mounting are shown below.

Step 1: Screw the DIN-rail bracket on the POE-E201.
Step 2: First put the upper DIN-rail bracket on to the rail shown below and then the lower bracket on to the rail to finish the mounting.
Step 3: Make sure the POE-E201 unit is tightly fixed on the track.

Caution: You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.
