10/100BASE-TX Ports Definition
2.2.1
Data Input Ports
The Midspan has 6 (or 12) 10Base-T/100Base-TX- data input ports,
configured in a non-crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports, shown in
Figure 2-1 (bottom row of connectors), are designed to carry Ethernet data
only (Tx/Rx) over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6).
2.2.2
Data & Power Output Ports
The Midspan has 6 (or 12) Data & Power ports also configured in non-
crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports are designed to carry Ethernet
data over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and DC power over the
spare pairs (pins 4/5 and 7/8).

Indicators
A set of indicators provide the status of the Power over LAN Midspan and its
ports. Refer to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for status information during operation.
2.3.1
Primary Power Indicator
A Main (power) indicator on the front panel, shows the status of the Midspan.
This indicator illuminates green when power is applied to the Midspan. In case
of a problem with the device, the indicator illuminates in orange.
According to IEEE 802.3 standard, the maximum allowable distance
between two Ethernet links is 100 m (328 ft). The Power over LAN Midspan
is garanteed to work up to this distance.
