3COM ETHERNET POWER SOURCE 1 OVERVIEW The 3Com Ethernet Power Source (EPS) provides power, over existing Ethernet wiring, to devices such as NBX telephones and 3Com wireless access points. The EPS can determine whether an Ethernet device can accept power over the Ethernet cable, and supply power only to those devices capable of accepting it. The EPS: Eliminates the need for AC outlets, Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS), and AC/DC adapters Can be used with the 3Com NBX 100 Communicati

10 CHAPTER 1: 3COM ETHERNET POWER SOURCE OVERVIEW Overview The power source is designed for use with a standard 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet network over standard TIA/EIA-568, Category 5 cable. The DC operating power for the data terminal units is fed through the unused pairs (7/8) and (4/5). You can order the EPS in either of these models: 12 Ethernet ports 24 Ethernet ports Features The EPS has the following hardware features: Remote power feeding of Ethernet terminals 12 or 24 p

Guidelines for Network Configuration 15 DC Power Socket The EPS has a 12-pin DC power socket for use only with an optional –24 VDC uninterruptible power supply (UPS). See the documentation that comes with your UPS. The EPS normally draws power from its internal power supplies. If an external DC supply is connected, an electronic circuit in the EPS draws power from either the internal or external supply to ensure steady power delivery to the devices attached to the EPS output ports. AC Power
