[[PageOutline]] = Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Notes = PoE works by having a PoE capable injector or network switch. When the switch connects to a device, the switch tries to make a handshake with the device. The device has to have the signature to be able to do the handshake to activate PoE. Some Gateworks boards do not have this signature. If the signature is not detected, then power is not turned on. PoE has evolved to define several different classes of power requirements: * class 0 - (no signature) max device power of 12.95W * class 1 - 4.0W available for max device power of 3.84W * class 2 - 7.0W available for max device power of 6.49W * class 3 - 15.4W available for max device power of 12.95W * class 4 (PoE+) - 30W available for max device power of 25.5W * class 5 (PoE++) - 45W available for max device power of 40W ''' Please reference the user manual for the product to learn if it has POE capability at [http://www.gateworks.com/usermanuals] Specs: * 802.3af-2003 standard provides up to 15.4W of DC power (min 44Vdc and 350mA) to each device. Only 12.95W is assured to be available at the powered device (as some power is dissipated in the cable) * 802.3at-2009 standard (PoE+) provides up to 25.5W of power and prohibits a powered device from using all four pairs for power. Some vendors have products that offer up to 51W by utilizing all four pairs.

Half-rectified or Passive PoE on Gateworks boards assumes positive on blue pair, negative on brown pair. A cross-over cable can be used for devices using the opposite polarity == Passive PoE Most Gateworks products support what is typically referred to as 'Passive PoE' as power is applied to the same pins defined in 802.3af however the intelligent signalling/detection is not present. We do this because 802.3af DC range is only 37-60V and our customers typically want lower ranges. See the [https://shop.gateworks.com/ Gateworks Online Shop for Passive PoE Injectors] == 802.3af 802.3af is a standard adopted in 2003 for intelligent Power Over Ethernet where a signature is required before the supply turns on voltage. This can be a safer option than passive PoE. Gateworks boards with true 802.3af support: - Newport GW640x/GW630x/GW620x [=#emulation] == Emulated 802.3af == Originally, true 802.3af was costly and difficult to co-exist with passive PoE, so Gateworks designed a circuit that emulated it by providing the 'signature' needed to make an 802.3af PoE compliant switch enable power. The circuit used on the boards that use this emulation provides a 'class 0' signature but does not provide a 2-event class and PoE signature which may make it fail to turn-on certain 802.3af power adapters. While the 802.3 spec calls out the power pins explicitly it does not call out polarity because it also requires full rectification (which makes polarity a moot point). This created the fact that some products use one polarity and others use opposite with regards to + and - voltage rails (see here http://pinouts.ru/Net/poe_pinout.shtml). Some of our emulated 802.3af products do not have this full rectification for space reasons which can make them in-compatible with PoE on some devices without the use of a 'cross-over cable'. Refer to the [#gateworks table above] to find which boards use emulated 802.3af and note in the table that some of the above products feature a jumper 'W1' which enables 802.3af emulation ULVO (under voltage lockout). This jumper needs to be in the correct position (or removed) see above table depending on the board and whether or not you want passive PoE or 802.3af emulation. The following switch products use the opposite polarity that Gateworks uses and thus requires either a) a fully rectified emulation (see above), b) a crossover cable, c) a [http://shop.gateworks.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=129 GW16090] revB+: * D-Link DGS-1008P * Cisco SG100D-08P 8-port PoE switch * !ZyXel GS1910-24HP [=#gw16090] == GW16090 GigE 802.af/at to GigE passive PoE Adapter The Gateworks GW16090 ([http://shop.gateworks.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=129 Purchase Here]) allows boards that have no 802.3af/at support to be powered by an 802.3af/at switch or boards that only support 802.3af to be powered by an 802.3at switch. The GW16090 uses the Maxim MAX5969B PoE PD Interface Controller which provides both 802.3af and 802.3at signatures to the PSE device. For more info on the controler see: http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/power/switching-regulators/MAX5969B.html The GW16090 is only intended with purely passive PoE Ethernet ports and is not meant to be compatible with ports with emulated 802.3af or ports with true 802.3af/at and using it on those ports would be invalid and may need to unexpected results due to signature resistor conflicts. For a list of products that the GW16090 has been validated with please see [#testing below]. Notes: * Prior to revB only half wave [wiki:poe#Emulated802.3af 802.3a emulation] was supported. * Prior to revD only [wiki:poe#Emulated802.3af 802.3a emulation] was supported. * It is critical that any external connections (eth, jtag, serial, etc) to the product being powered by the GW16090 are electrically isolated. Otherwise ground-loops can occur causing power failure at the switch and possible board damage. This is particularly an issue with PoE switches that use !Power/Ground polarity opposite of what Gateworks uses for Passive PoE.
