Cisco FM PONTE-50 Installation And Configuration Manual page 23

• Do not connect the unit to an IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at
PoE adapter, Ethernet switch or router through a passive
PoE injector. The passive PoE injector included with the unit
cannot regulate excessive voltages, and the DC power feed
from switches of this type cannot be turned off. This will result
in a damaging over-voltage being supplied to the unit.
• If connecting the unit to a switch or router equipped with
unmanaged PoE, use the 802.3af-to-24 Vdc inline converter
(Fluidmesh part number FM-POE-INL) only (below). In this
scenario, do not use the included 24 Vdc mode B passive
PoE injector (Fluidmesh part number FM-POE-STD), as the
passive PoE injector will supply a damaging over-voltage to
the unit.
• If connecting the unit to an Ethernet switch or router
equipped with power-management support, disable PoE on
the RJ45 port of the Ethernet switch or router that is
connected to the PoE injector (below).
• If connecting the PoE injector to a non-PoE switch or router
(above), no special precautions need to be taken.
