Quick Start:
These are the basic steps to start up the 2-Port Node:
Mount the 2-Port Node (flush-mount version) in a flush box; install the rig-mounted version using the
fastening screws)
see page 19
Power supply:
Flush-mount: For this version, the switch / hub must support the PowerOnEthernet function
and must deliver sufficient power (approx. 2 Watt) - not for onPC!
Rig-mount: Either operate it via PowerOverEthernet and/or plug the supplied mains cord
into the 2-Port and connect it to a correctly installed wall socket (100-230V, 50-60Hz). You
can work with both operation modes simultaneously – no need to define or select any; on
power failure, the 2-Port will automatically switch over to the available power source.
