Multitech MTCDTIP-267A-868 - PoE Application Note
Multitech MTCDTIP-267A-868 - PoE Application Note
For Conduit IP67 (MTCDTIP) Base Station models with -266 or -267 in the model number.
For Conduit IP67 Series 200 Base Station (MTCDTIP2) all models.
For Conduit AP (MTCAP2) models with -042 or -002 and POE in the model number.
Terminology
Term Description
PoE Power over Ethernet (802.3af). Provides DC power and high speed data through a
single RJ45 connector.
PoE+ Power over Ethernet higher power (802.3at) (MTCDTIP and MTCDT3AC only).
PSE Power source equipment, also called an injector or supply.
PD Power device, for example the MTCDTIP or MTCAP2.
802.3at Type 2 PoE device with power rating above 13 W and MUST be 25W or greater to turn
on the device (MTCDTIP and MTCDT3AC only).
Recommended PSE
The following PSEs have been tested and work with the models listed below:
For standard MTCDTIP -266 and -267 models and MTCDTIP2:
o Phihong PoE29W-1AT
o Microsemi PD-9001GR/AC =35W
o Trendnet TPE-115GI = 30W
For MTCAP2 -042 and -002 models:
o TRENDnet Gigabit PoE+ Injector TPE-115GI (Version v2.1R)
Note: This is a Class A PoE injector. Using a Class A PoE injector changes the system
classification to Class A.
For MTCDT3AC models (Note: To retain Gigabit Ethernet speed capability)
o Phihong POE36U-1AT-R (GE compliant)
PoE Standards
For more information about POE, refer to the relevant IEEE standards: IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at,
and IEEE 802.3bt. IEEE 802.3bt-2018 is the current standard. These standards contain technical
details you may find useful.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Device fails to power up:
Possible Causes:
PSE underpowered.
PSE not 802.3at compliant. (MTCDTIP and MTCDTIP2 only)
Ground loops affecting the 802.3at protocol and interfering with capacitance detection.
Note: (MTCDTIP and MTCDTIP2 only) If the power LED lights up and then shuts off, the PSE is not
providing enough power.
