The following steps describe the recommended best practice for connecting PoE power to the
BreadCrumb ES1.
1. Disconnect power from the PoE power supply.
2. Connect PoE Out to BreadCrumb using a shielded Ethernet cable.
3. (Optional) Connect PoE In (aka Data) to a computer or a non-powered LAN Ethernet port.
4. Reconnect power to the PoE power supply.

2.4.5 Ethernet Connector
The Ethernet port on the BreadCrumb ES1 enclosure is the female part of a Genesis Technology sealed
Ethernet connector. In a protected enviroment, such as indoors or inside a 3rd party enclosure, a stan-
dard RJ45 male shielded cable may be connected to this port. Elsewhere, the correct sealed mating con-
nector must be used. The mating (male) part is Genesis Technology WAPV-100-AKY0T.
