Appendix C: Setting up the Power Supply Power to the NJ95 can be supplied one of the following ways: Over the network via an integrated switch that supports Power Over Ethernet. Over the network via a multi-port Ethernet power supply.
Page 30
User Guide Using an Integrated Switch with Power Over Ethernet You must have a switch on the network that provides Power over Ethernet, compliant to the IEEE 802.3af standard. Figure 12: Using an Integrated Switch with Power over Ethernet...
Page 31
To use a multi-port Ethernet power supply, you must connect the power supply to your network, as shown in figure 13. The multi-port Ethernet power supply from 3Com connects to an existing Ethernet or Fast Ethernet infrastructure with standard Category 5 or Category 5e UTP cabling, and powers up to 24 NJ95 Network Jacks.

Page 33
Using a Single-port Ethernet Power Supply To use a single-port Ethernet power supply, connect the power supply to the network hub or switch and to the NJ95, as shown in figure 14. See “Obtaining Optional Components” in Appendix E for ordering information. For complete installation instructions, see the single-port Ethernet power supply documentation.
Page 34
If your network does not support Power Over Ethernet, or if you are not using a single-port or multi-port Ethernet power supply, you must purchase a local power supply from 3Com (see “Obtaining Optional Components” in Appendix E). To use the local power supply, make sure you have an electrical outlet near the site where the NJ95 will be installed.
Page 35
NOTE: Completing these procedures in sequence will reduce issues during the installation process. CAUTION: ONLY use the local power supply available from 3Com. Failure to do so may result in damage to the NJ95 Network Jack, or may result in a hazardous situation.
