Procedures
Receive Electrical Power from 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Note • You can power a DMP 4310G through its Ethernet cable. Other DMP models do not support this feature.
• A DMP 4310G has two USB interfaces on its chassis. When you use PoE to power a DMP 4310G, we recommend that
you use no more than one of these USB interfaces at a time. IEEE 802.3af PoE is limited in its capacity and might not be
sufficient to power your DMP and two USB peripherals simultaneously.
• When both PoE power and AC power are detected, AC power overrides PoE and disconnects the PoE circuit.
Procedure
Step 1 Use the On/Off power button on the DMP chassis to verify that your DMP is turned Off.
Step 2 Connect a standard, Category 5 Ethernet cable to your DMP.
Step 3 Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled network switch that operates inside
your network.
Step 4 Use the On/Off power switch on the DMP chassis to turn your DMP On.
Step 5 Stop. You have completed this procedure.
