PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
airBridge can be powered by the DC power sent through the Ethernet cable itself. It works from 12V DC to 18V DC of negative polarity. When there is very long cable between the injector and airBridge the user must increase the DC supply at the injector point so that a minimum of 12V appears at the airBridge. For short lengths upto 20 meter cable length, the 12 V DC supply at the input of power injector is adequate. For longer lengths please request for higher voltage AC adapter from smartBridges or to be procured independently from third party sources.
Power Injector smartBridges Power Injector is a standard accessory for airBridge. It consists of two modules namely AC adapter and powerShot. The AC adapter supplied is wide range device operable from 100V to 264V AC 50 / 60Hz AC input. Its output is 12 V DC center pin negative and 2.5 mm dia. The AC adapter is wall mount type and comes with 2 meter DC output cable . Country specific models are provided . They come in 2 pin U/L adapter , 2 pin CE adapter , 3 pin UK adapter and 2 pin Australian adapter .The powerShot has two input cables and an outlet socket. One input is DC jack adaptable to the AC adapter output. This is a flying lead connector as shown in the diagram. Other input is RJ 45 Ethernet male connector with a short cable as shown in the diagram. This can be directly plugged into the ethernet signal port of the LAN or PC. There is a Green LED indicator on the powerShot indicating power is ON. The outpu port is RJ 45 socket with DC power and is part of the casing itself. A standard male to male ethernet cable is provided as standard accessory along with the powerShot for airBridge. When the user wants to position airBridge at a distance, the user is advised to use a standard ethernet cable (CAT 5 cable) with 8 wires of required length . The powerShot has a “Restore Defaults” awitch at the bottom side . This is reachable through the hole at the bottom . It is a reset switch and the user needs to use a pointed device to reach it and reset . It restores the default settings on the airPointPRO connected to it . The powerShot also has a slide switch at the side . This provides straight or cross connection for the Ethernet signals . The switch has to be in cross position for connecting to a LAN and straight position for connecting to a PC . The yellow light on the airPointPRO will light up only when the device establishes the ethernet connection . |
