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.
