Lan (Rj-45); Applying Power - AMX MCP-106 Instruction Manual

LAN (RJ-45)

The LAN RJ-45 port provides 10/100 Mbps communication via Cat5/5e/6 network cable. The LAN port automatically negotiates
the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode. The LAN port is best used for
connecting to a network switch. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cables. The port LEDs show communication activity, connection status, speeds, and mode information.
The LAN port also receives its power via the LAN port and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) when you connect this port to a PoE switch
which conforms to the 802.3af standard. See the Applying Power section on page 16 for information on PoE setup.

NOTE: If Ethernet connectivity is lost on any ControlPad, and then re-established, connectivity may take some time to resume. You
will be unable to program the ControlPad until it is fully online.

Applying Power

Applying power to Massio ControlPads and Keypads requires Cat5 cable and a PoE injector, such as the PS-POE-AF-TC (FG423-83)
available from AMX, or a PoE-capable Ethernet switch which conforms to the 802.3af standard. The network must be connected
through the PoE injector to send power to the ControlPad.
1. Connect the PoE injector to an AC outlet (~100-240V) using a standard power cord.
2. Connect the switch category cable to the Data In port on the PoE injector (FIG. 12).
