3COM ETHERNET POWER SOURCE
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 Communications System
business telephones and with 3Coms wireless access points.
Is easy to add to your network
Allows you to manage power centrally
This chapter covers these topics:
Overview of the Ethernet Power Source
Front Panel Connections and LEDs
Rear Panel Connections
Guidelines for Network Configuration
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 ports of combined 10BASE-T/100 BASE-TX data and power
Shielded RJ-45 input/output connectors
Universal 85-264VAC 50/60Hz input
Power feeding over 7/8 and 4/5 spare twisted pairs of Category 5
UTP/STP cable
Independent overload and short-circuit protection for each port
Port status LED indicators
Power on/off command for each port
RS-232 monitoring and control serial port
FLASH memory for field firmware upgrades
Standard 19 1.5U rack mounting with hardware
24 VDC connector for an external DC power supply
Front Panel Connections and LEDs 11

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the front-panel details of the 24-port and
12-port EPS units. The LEDs are described in later in this section.
Figure 1 24-Port Ethernet Power Source Front View
Figure 2 12-Port Ethernet Power Source Front View
Both the 12-port (P/N 3C10220) and the 24-port (P/N 3C10222) versions
of the EPS have two rows of 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports. The input
ports, on the bottom row, are numbered from left to right (as you face
the front of the unit). Each output port is located immediately above the
input port to which it corresponds. You must use non crossover cables
with both input and output ports.
10/100BASE-TX
Data Input Ports
The EPS input ports (bottom row) accept Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over
the standard two wire pairs on an RJ-45 connector (Transmit on pins 1
and 2; Receive on pins 3 and 6).
Note: Bottom row connectors are input ports (data only).
Top row connectors are output ports (data and power).
Note: Bottom row connectors are input ports (data only).
Top row connectors are output ports (data and power).
12 CHAPTER 1: 3COM ETHERNET POWER SOURCE OVERVIEW
10/100BASE-TX
Data and Power
Output Ports
The EPS output ports (top row) carry two kinds of transmissions:
Ethernet data on the standard two wire pairs on an RJ-45 connector
(Transmit on pins 1 and 2; Receive on pins 3 and 6)
and
DC power on the previously unused wire pairs of the RJ-45 connector
(-24VDC Return on pins 4 and 5 and -24VDC on pins 7 and 8)
The maximum segment length from the switch or hub to the Network
Interface Card (NIC), including the EPS, is 100 m (328 ft.) using
Category 5 twisted pair cable.
LEDs lists the lights (LEDs) on the front of the EPS and their states. For
information on using the LEDs for problem solving, see Solving EPS
Problems in Chapter 3.

Per-port Status Indications
Visual Indications (for Each Port) Port Status
Yellow LED Green LED Note: Do not automatically assume that a
yellow LED indicates a problem. For example, if
the yellow LED for any port is ON, the EPS is
not supplying power to that port/device, which
may indicate that the device is not capable of
accepting power via its Ethernet connection.
Off On Normal condition. Port power is turned on
and a device is drawing power from the
port.
Off Off Main power supply is off.
or
Port power is turned off.
or
Both main power and port power are on,
but no device cable is plugged into the
port.
On Off Either the device that is plugged into the
port is incapable of accepting power via its
Ethernet connection, or it has attempted to
draw too much power from the port. The
EPS has shut off the port power.
On On An internal fault has occurred on this port.
The EPS has shut off the port power.

Information Label To facilitate reporting any future problem, record here the Part Number
(P/N) and Serial Number (S/N) of the EPS from the unit information label
on the rear panel.
Part number: ______________________
Serial number: _____________________
Console Port Use the Console Port to connect a remote (or local) terminal and perform
remote (or local) management. This port does not carry Ethernet traffic.
The Console Port uses a standard null modem cable. The port settings are
fixed and have these values:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bit(s): 1
If you are upgrading the firmware on the EPS using a local computer
connected by a null modem cable, the upgrade program configures the
communications port that you select on your computer (COM1 is the
default) to match these settings.
You can obtain the firmware upgrade program and instructions for using
it from this web site:
http://support.3com.com/

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 Socket The EPS adjusts to any supply voltage from 90 through 240V AC.
Guidelines for
Network
Configuration
Design your network with these guidelines in mind:
In a typical application, the maximum UTP cable length is 100 m (328
ft.) using Category 5 cable (from the main switch or hub to the
far-end NIC device).
3Com recommends that you use a short UTP cable of 1 to 2 m (6 to 7
ft.) from the switch or hub to the EPS and a longer UTP cable of 1 to
90 m (3 to 300 ft.) from the EPS to the powered device such as the
NBX Business Telephone or a 3Com wireless access point.
Sample topologies are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

INSTALLING THE
ETHERNET POWER SOURCE
AND END DEVICES
This chapter contains the information that you need to install and set up
the Ethernet Power Source (EPS) and end devices. The following topics
are described:
Choosing a Suitable Site
Rack-mounting the EPS
Power-up Sequence
Selecting the Correct Cables
Power Splitter Cable
Connecting an NBX Business Telephone
Connecting a 3Com Wireless Access Point
WARNING: Safety Information. Before you install or remove any
components from the Power Source unit or carry out any maintenance
procedures, you must read the safety information provided in Appendix A
of this guide.
AVERTISSEMENT: Consignes de sécurité. Avant d'installer ou d'enlever
tout composant du Power Source unit ou d'entamer une procédure de
maintenance, lisez les informations relatives à la sécurité qui se trouvent
dans l'Appendice A de ce guide.
WARNHINWEIS: Sicherheitsinformationen. Bevor Sie Komponenten
aus dem Power Source unit entfernen oder dem Power Source unit
hinzufuegen oder Instandhaltungsarbeiten verrichten, lesen Sie die
Sicherheitsanweisungen, die in Appendix A (Anhang A) in diesem
Handbuch aufgefuehrt sind.
20 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ETHERNET POWER SOURCE AND END DEVICES
Choosing a
Suitable Site
The EPS is suitable for an office environment. It can either be
rack-mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack (for example, in a
wiring closet or equipment room) or placed free-standing on a desk,
table, or counter. Both the 12-port and 24-port EPS packages (3C10220
and 3C10222 respectively) contain a rack-mounting kit with two
mounting brackets and six screws.
When you select a site for the EPS:
Always follow the appropriate configuration practices for Fast
Ethernet, including the 100-meter limit on total cable length.
Locate the EPS so that you can connect cables easily.
Locate cables away from sources of electrical noise such as:
Radios, transmitters, or broadband amplifiers
Power lines
Fluorescent lighting fixtures
Make sure that no water or moisture can enter the EPS case. The unit
is not designed for outdoor use.
Make sure that air can flow freely on all sides of the EPS for proper
cooling. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm
(1 in.) clearance on each side of the unit.
If you use more than one EPS and place them on a table or desk, do
not place more than four units in a single stack. If you mount multiple
EPS units in a rack, this limit does not apply.
