Contact Nexans LAN Systems Power over Ethernet Tel.: +49 (0) 2166 27 2220 sales.ans@nexans.com Power Source Equipment (PSE+) Thanks to the optional Power over Ethernet functionality, PoE-capable end devices can be supplied with power in accordance with corresponding IEEE 802.3 standard directly from the switch. The Power over Ethernet functions can be parameterized, controlled and monitored via management.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is used and multiple powered (PD) devices are connected to the switch. Nexans confirms that all LANactive switches are developed and manufactured according to the requirements of the PoE standards as defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) IEEE802.3af, IEEE802.3at and IEEE802.3bt.
Pre-installed in the switch Console configuration cables The V.24 console port on Nexans switches allows you to configure the switch on site and/or retrieve its status without an Ethernet network connection. Configuration via the V.24 console port provides the same functionality as configuration via Telnet or SSH.
I/O MODULE The Nexans XGigaSwitch supports I/O ports on the front side of the device. The output, digital inputs and 24V DC output are electrically isolated against each other. The status and fault diagnostics of the I/O ports are monitored in the switch management.
START-UP – BOOTING Nexans LANactive XGigaSwitch DICE can be operate in different modes called ‘Operation Mode’. The following chapter explain the differences and how to switch between the different modes. If nothing is changed the switch boots with the default configuration stored in flash and DHCP for dynamic IP address assignment.
Page 25
Nexans default configuration comes with DHCP for addressing the switch. The switch sends a DHCP request as soon as the Status-LED lights up permanently on the management module. If it receives a valid response from a DHCP server, the IP parameters are accepted, and the management module can be immediately accessed via the assigned IP address.
Management Hardware HW3, HW2 and HW1. The current version of LANactive Manager also includes the configuration options for all new firmware features. If you are not yet a registered user of the Nexans Support Portal, please register at the Nexans support portal http://www.nexans-ans.de/support/ and download the latest version of the firmware and the management tool.
