Powering the appliance
The Synergis™ Cloud Link appliance can be powered using 12 V dc, Power over Ethernet (PoE), or using dual power sources.
Supplying PoE power
- The Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) must be compliant with IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at type 1, with at least 6.49 W of available power (Class 2).
Supplying 12 V dc power
- Nominal input voltage: 12 V dc
- Minimum input voltage for guaranteed power-up: 10 V
- Minimum input voltage before guaranteed automatic shut-off: 9 V
- Maximum input voltage to guarantee no automatic shut-off: 16 V
9-16 V dc connector pinout
| Pin | Description |
|---|---|
| + | Input power (+12 V dc) |
| - | Input power ground (GND) |
Supplying dual power
If the appliance is provided with both PoE and 12 V dc power, PoE has priority over the 12 V dc input. In this case, the appliance draws all of its current from PoE. If you disconnect the Ethernet 1 cable, or if the PoE source (injector or Ethernet switch) has a failure or a power outage, the appliance falls back automatically and transparently to the 12 V dc input. If PoE is restored, the appliance switches automatically and transparently back to PoE power.
Grounding the appliance
Mount the appliance on a grounded metal surface. Alternatively, you can connect a ground wire to one of the mounting screws.
