Connect the power sensor to the signal source.
2. NOTICE! Risk of sensor damage. Only use PoE power sourcing equipment
(PSE) as described in "Choose the PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) with
care" on page 15.
Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet connector of the sensor to an Ethernet switch
that supports PoE power delivery.
3. Connect the controlling host to the Ethernet switch.
4. Establish a connection between the power sensor and the network.
See Chapter 3.7.3.2, "Establishing a connection to the network", on page 23.
