II. OVERVIEW
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Motor is a low-voltage powered distribution and network-connected motor that utilizes PoE technology power and control from industry-common network switches.
This motor supports both Somfy Synergy API and CoAP Digital Building API protocols, and it is compatible with Power over Ethernet Network Switches IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Type2 (30W) or higher. PoE motor system quantity is based on managing the number of devices on the subnet(s) available unless
specific network configurations are in place and managed by an IT Administrator. RESOURCES

USING MOTOR LABELS
Each Somfy PoE motor is supplied with four motor information labels that should be referenced to connect to motors. The label includes a four-digit PIN code that will be used to log in to the motor. These codes will be used for the life of the product.
DO NOT DISCARD THE MOTOR INFORMATION LABELS!
One of the motor information labels should remain on the body of the motor. The other three labels should be shipped in the packaging of the motorized product, or see below for recommended locations to attach the labels.
Suggested locations for the Motor Information Labels:
· Finished motorized products: Examples: – Attached to the motor cable – Removeable shade hem bar – Motor cover
· Inside the valance of the motorized product · Work order sheet used in project planning · Product packaging used for shipping

Example above: On motor tube

Example above: Shade hem bar

Example above: On motor cable

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Gathering and organizing motor PIN codes and motor information from the included motor labels is very important for navigating through the PoE motor graphical user interface.
