About the Power over Ethernet  
Midspan  
PowerDsine’s Midspans family, injects DC power over data-carrying Ethernet  
cabling. The PD-6548 Midspan, supports 48 ports in a 10/100BaseTx Ethernet  
network, over TIA/EIA-568 Category 5/5e/6 cabling. DC operating power, for  
data terminal units, is fed over the unused pairs of the cabling (7/8 and 4/5).  
The Midspan powers devices that are Power over Ethernet enabled, or are  
equipped to receive power over Ethernet. These devices are called Powered  
Devices (PDs). Devices that are not equipped to receive power over Ethernet,  
may require an external power adapter in order to be powered. Contact  
PowerDsine for such an adapter.  
The Power over Ethernet Midspan main features are as follows:  
Remote power feeding over standard Ethernet ports  
Eliminates the need for AC outlets, local UPS & AC/DC adapters  
near PDs  
Universal range power input (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz)  
Power management  
Remote Web manager (optional)  
Overload and short-circuit protection per channel  
Port status indications  
Standard 19-inch rack mountable  
2.1  
Power Management  
When establishing a network, the total power required by PDs may exceed the  
total power available from the Midspan. The built-in Power Management  
feature does not allow the total power output to exceed the maximum power  
available (refer to the Technical Specifications). When the total power  
available is close to the maximum value, attempts to connect an additional PD  
to a free port cause the corresponding port LED to blink green at an 0.5 sec.  
rate, indicating an out-of-power budget, thus, this port will not deliver power.  
The power distribution method is based on “First Come, First Served” logic.  
Sometimes, connected operating PDs significantly increase or suddenly raise  
their power requirements. If the required power exceeds the available power,  
the Power over Ethernet Midspan starts to turn off ports in accordance with  
their priority (the first turned off port is the lower priority port) until the total  
power is once again under the maximum limit. Default priority is establishid by  
port number: the higher the port number is, the lower priority it gets.

10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition  
2.2.1  
Data Input Ports  
The Midspan has 48 10/100Base-TX data input ports, configured in a non-  
crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports located on the PoE’s rear  
panel of front box, are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over the  
standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and are typically connected to existing  
Etherner switch.  
2.2.2  
Data & Power Output Ports  
The Midspan has 48 Data & Power output ports, located on the front panel  
(Figure 2-1). These ports are configured in a non-crossover manner (straight-  
wired) and are designed to carry Ethernet data over the standard 2-wire pairs  
(pins 1/2 and 3/6) and DC power over the spare pairs (pins 4/5 and 7/8). Each  
output port corresponds to an opposite input port located on the rear panel.  
The Midspan is not a repeater. As such, the maximum distance from the Ethernet switch to  
PDs should not exceed 100 meters (328 ft). In accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard,  
the Power over Ethernet Midspan is guaranteed to work up to this distance.

2.3  
Indicators  
A set of indicators provide the status of the Power over Ethernet Midspan and  
its ports. Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for status information during  
operation.  
2.3.1  
Primary Power Indicators  
A Primary Power LED (labled “AC”) is located on the front panel; the LED  
provides Power over Ethernet Midspan power status.  
When the indicator illuminates in green, it means that the Midspan receives  
AC power. The “AC” indicator lits in orange to indicate Built In test failure.  
Refer to Table 2-1: for additional information.  
2.3.2  
Port Indicators  
One uni-color indicator (green) per port provides port status:  
Green indicates that the PD (Powered Device)  
is identified as "Power over Ethernet Enabled",  
is active and receives power.  
Blinking green indicates that the power is not  
delivered to a specific port.  
Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for additional information.  
Note  
Due to the standard detection process performed on  
each PoE port, power is not supplied to an Ethernet  
device that is not PoE-enabled. In this way, PDs (non  
PoE -enabled) are not affected by connection to  
Midspan’s output port.

3.3  
Routing the Input Ports Cables  
The ports on the front panel of the Midspan are configured as "Pass  
Through" ports for all 48 conductors of the RJ-45 connectors. Use  
Category 5 jumpers cables with a diameter that is less than 0.25 inch in  
making connections.  
*Using an appropriate bench, connect all the cables to the Midspan as  
follows:  
1. Connect cables to the Data input ports as shown below:  
Chasis  
‘Ears’  
2. Start connecting the cables in groups of six as shown above.  
For proper wiring, each group should be tied using plastic  
straps. The cables should be routed via the side path to the  
Midspan’s front side. Every two groups should be tied together  
to chasis ‘ears’ as shown above.  
3. Repeat the above mentioned procedure for the rest of the  
cables, thus 24 cables are routed via left/right side path.  
*Midspan cables connection may also be performed by firstly assembling the  
midspan to the rack by the brackets. In such a case take all necessary  
precautions to prevent the Midspan from falling down to the floor!

2. Verify that the voltage at the power inlet is between 100 and 240 Vac.  
3. Remove and re-apply power to the device and check the indicators  
during power up sequence as described in Para. 3.7.  
A port indicator is not lit  
and the corresponding PD  
does not operate.  
1. The Midspan did not detect a PD and therefore the port is not enabled.  
2. Verify that the PD is designed for Power over Ethernet operation.  
3. Verify that you are using a standard Category 5/5e/6, straight-wired  
cable, with four pairs.  
4. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good  
splitter.  
5. Verify that the PD is connected to the Data & Power output port.  
6. Try to reconnect the same PD to a different port on the same or into  
another Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty output port or  
RJ-45 connection.  
7. Verify that port shutdown command was not issued via the Web  
manaegment.

Power-on self-test failed: the Midspan detected an internal fault. In this  
case, contact your local dealer.

minutes and then starts  
The end device  
operates, but there is  
no data link.  
1. Verify that the port indicator on the front panel is continuously lit.  
2. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known-good  
splitter.  
3. Verify that for this link, you are using standard UTP/FTP Category 5  
straight (non-crossover) cabling, with all four pairs. Check that the  
link is 100 m or less.  
4. Try to re-connect the same end device into a different port on the  
same unit or into another Midspan – if it works, there is probably a  
faulty input/output port, or RJ-45 connection.  
Midspan port indicator  
is blinking at a 1 sec.  
rate  
This is a safe condition. The blinking green indication is due to:  
1. A device, not compliant to IEEE 802.3af, was detected.  
2. Terminals 4/5 and 7/8 are shorted together.  
3. Forced external power fed into the port.  
During these conditions, port power is disconnected.  
Midspan port indicator  
is blinking at a 0.5 sec.  
rate  
This is a safe condition. The blinking green indication is due to a power  
management event.  
In such event the corresponding port to the indicator, requires power that  
exceeds power budget capability of the Midspan. During these conditions,  
port power is disconnected.  
A port will operate when total power consumption of the Midspan  
decreases.  
try to connect the PD to another Midspan to verify that the PD is valid.
