Powering the Transceiver

The transceivers can use:

  • Power over Ethernet (PoE). Connect to LAN 1 RJ45.

    Note: The transceiver is a Class 3 PoE device.

  • Local power. Use the supplied power supply (12V DC 5 amp).
  • USB power from a USB battery pack. For standalone mode, this is 3 A, 5V.

Power Redundancy

You can simultaneously power the FreeSpeak Edge transceiver using a local power supply and PoE. In this case, the following applies:

  • If the transceiver is using a local power supply, adding a PoE connection causes no power interruption.
  • If the transceiver is using a PoE connection, adding a local power supply interrupts the power supply for 1 to 2 seconds.
  • If the transceiver is using both local and PoE, if you remove the local power supply connection, the power supply is interrupted for 1 to 2 seconds and then continues using the PoE supply.
  • If the transceiver is using both local and PoE, if you remove the PoE connection, the transceiver continues to operate without interruption using the local power supply.
