The product is adaptable to PoE(IEEE802.3at) power reception and capable of dealing with a wide range of power between 10.8 and
33.6VDC in the differing environment.
In addition, both power supplies can be switched seamlessly (such as turning on the both power and disconnecting one of them. Applying
DC power during PoE operation and disconnecting PoE).
M12 connecter interface
M12 connector is adopted for LAN(1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T) and for DC power.
For LAN : M12 8pin X-Coded connector x 2
For DC : M12 4pin A-Coded connector x 1
Excellent environmental capabilities
Capable of operating in the various ambient temperature environment of with vibration and shock resistance.
-40 - +70°C (With 1000BASE-T: -40 - +65°C), airflow 0.5m/s
-40 - +60°C (With 1000BASE-T: -40 - +55°C), no airflow
Vibration resistance 5G, Shock resistance 100G
Contributing to running cost reduction and energy
efficiency
Adopting the low-power platform of Intel® AtomTM Processor E3845 achieves lower power consumption while still ensuring sufficient

1. FCC PART 15 Class B Notice
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
2. EN50155 Notice
Individual test on the items of the EN50155 power supply listed below has been conducted on the AC
power side of the PoE power supply unit (POW-CB60AT).

3. Security Warning
When connecting to the network, be aware of security-related problems. See the examples of
Security measures below and set up the product properly along with the network devices.
1. Information security risks
Unauthorized access from the outside through a network could cause the system halt, data
damage, or exposure to malware. *1
Invaded and used as a stepping stone, a device might attack the others through networks. (a
victim becomes an assailant)
Information might leak without realizing due to the connection to the network.
Secondary damages such as harmful rumors, liability in damages, social credibility fall, and
opportunity loss are expected led by the troubles described above.
*1: Malware (Malicious Software) is software that brings harm to a computer system and performs
unintended operations.
2. Security measures – e.g.
Do not keep using the default password. (Refer to the product manual for the password
setting).
Set a strong password.
Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily
analogized by others.
Change the password periodically.
Disable unnecessary network services and functions.
Restrict access to the network with network devices. *2
Restrict ports to be released on the network with network devices. *2
Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN*3
*2: Inquire for setting procedure to manufacturers.
*3: VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secured network that wards off unauthorized access by
protecting the communication path with authentication and encryption.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to avert unauthorized access or close a security hole
that are endlessly found day and night.
Please understand that risks are always involved with the Internet connection, and we strongly
recommend a user should constantly update information security measures.
