Power supply The supply voltage is connected by means of a 5-pin, “A”-coded M12 connector (e. g. ELWIKA 5012 PG7). You will find more information here: “Connecting the power supply and the signal contact lines” on page 32 Ethernet ports You can connect terminal devices and other segments at the ports of the device via twisted pair cables.
This port supports: Autonegotiation Autopolarity Autocrossing 100 Mbit/s half-duplex mode, 100 Mbit/s full duplex mode 10 Mbit/s half-duplex mode, 10 Mbit/s full duplex mode Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Devices are supplied with PoE voltage (54 V DC SELV) using the internal power supply.
Display elements After the supply voltage is set up, the software starts and initializes itself. During this process, various LEDs light up. 1.5.1 Device state These LEDs provide information about conditions which affect the operation of the whole device.
