Using a PoE device with your Matrox 4Sight EV6

To power an external device with your Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit using
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), you must connect the device to the Gigabit Ethernet
connectors labeled PoE on the chassis and not those labeled LAN. By default,
Power-over-Ethernet is disabled and must be enabled in the UEFI Setup utility
before it can be used. If PoE is not enabled, the connectors operate as standard
Gigabit Ethernet connectors.
To enable PoE, you must enter the UEFI Setup utility by restarting
Matrox 4Sight EV6 and pressing the Esc key during power-on self-test (POST).
You only have a few moments to press this key before the boot-up process
continues. In the UEFI Setup utility, select the Peripheral configuration menu
item from the Advanced menu. Then, set the Power Over Ethernet option to
Enabled.
 Note that, when PoE is enabled, each port can provide up to 15.4 W (12.95 W
+ cable loss) powered at +48 V
A PoE camera connected to your Matrox 4Sight EV6 must be electrically isolated
from the Matrox 4Sight EV6's chassis ground (functional ground). If required,
use some isolation material between the camera and its fixture (camera mount).
The PoE +48 V generated by the Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit is not electrically
isolated from the chassis ground. It is important to avoid any alternate current
return path to the Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit, which could jeopardize proper
operation of your PoE camera.
The following precautions should be taken whenever using PoE ports or
peripherals:
• Make sure that your Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit is turned off prior to connecting or
disconnecting any PoE peripherals.
• Enable Power over Ethernet (PoE) only on the ports that require it. If a peripheral
does not require power from the Ethernet cable, keep PoE disabled on that port,
through the UEFI.
