Active Ethernet; Led Indicators - ORiNOCO AP-600 User Manual

Getting Started

Active Ethernet

An Active Ethernet-enabled AP is equipped with an 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module. Active Ethernet (AE)
delivers both data and power to the access point over a single Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Active Ethernet,
there is no difference in operation; the only difference is in the power source.
– The Active Ethernet (AE) integrated module receives ~48 VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
– To use Active Ethernet, you must have an AE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network.
– The cable length between the AE hub and the Access Point should not exceed 100 meters (approximately
325 feet).
– The AE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
– If connected to an AE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the Access Point draws power from Active
Ethernet.
– Maximum power supplied to an Access Point is 11 Watts; the unit typically draws approximately 10 Watts.
Also see Hardware Specifications.
NOTE
The AP's 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module is backwards compatible with all ORiNOCO Active
Ethernet hubs that do not support the IEEE 802.3af standard.
