Page 8: Introduction
The PoLRE switch is a Power over Long Reach Ethernet switch. Unlike traditional Ethernet switches, the PoLRE switch has a reach of up to 1200 feet (365 meters) and is capable of delivering power and signaling over a single pair CAT3 cable. A Phylink adapter is installed at each IP endpoint, carrying the power and signaling to the connected IEEE 802.3af compliant end devices. -

However, these cleaning products must not be used on the components of the PoLRE switch or applied to the interior of the switch. -
Page 27: Overview Of Installation
1. Remove the PoLRE switch and all accompanying accessories from the packaging materials. See PoLRE Switch Product Package, page 13. 2. Install the rackmount brackets on the PoLRE switch and mount the switch in a standard 19” rack. See Installing the Switch in a Rack, page 21. - Page 28 To install the switch in a rack: 1. Attach the left rackmount bracket to the left side of the PoLRE switch near the front, using 4 of the screws provided. The rack ear should be flush with the front panel of the PoLRE switch.

Page 38: Multiple Switch Configurations
Daisy-chaining PoLRE Switches for Powershare Up to 4 PoLRE switches can be daisy-chained together for Powershare. They are connected in a ring using the DC In/Out connectors at the rear of the switch. If a power fault occurs on any switch in the ring, the others are able to share the load, and the affected switch continues to function normally. - Page 39 Daisy-Chaining PoLRE Switches for Powershare To daisy-chain multiple PoLRE switches for Powershare: 1. Mount all PoLRE switches in the same equipment rack, with no more than 1U space between any two switches. Refer to Installing the Switch in a Rack, page 21.
