2.5 Safety Procedures: General Precautions 

Please read the following precautions carefully before installing and connecting the system to a power source: 

NOTE: Only qualified and trained service personnel (in accordance with IEC 60950 and AS/NZS 3260) should install, replace, or 
service the equipment. Install the system in accordance with country or national codes, or to the U.S. National Electric 
Code if you are in the United States. 

1. The building facilities in which the product will be used requires a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 15 A for 120 VAC 
(U.S.A.) or 10 A, 230 VAC (international). The building facilities must protect the PoE Injector from overcurrent or short circuits. 

2. Before connecting the PoE Injector to a power source (including power cord requirements), read the PoE Injector Hardware 
Installation procedure in Chapter 3. This procedure, as with all procedures and instructions, can be found in the PoE Injector 
User Manual. To download a copy of the manual, visit ftp.blackbox.com. 

3. To prevent the PoE Injector from overheating, do not operate the product in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended 
ambient temperature of 40° C. Allow at least 3 to 4 inches of clearance around all ventilation openings. 

4. To support the PoE Injector weight, do not stack the chassis on any other equipment. Shelf mounted equipment requires a sta¬ 
ble and durable surface. When installed, do not push or pull on the PoE Injector when the equipment is installed. 

5. The PoE Injector consists of two rows of "Data" and "Data & Power" ports. The ports use RJ-45 data sockets. Do not connect 
telephone cables into these ports. Only RJ-45 data cables may be connect to these sockets. 

6. Do not work on the PoE Injector system or connect or disconnect the cables, during periods of lightning activity. 

7. The AC or DC plus/socket combination must be accessible at all times, as it serves as the main disconnect device to the 
product. 

8. Before servicing the product, always disconnect the product from its AC and DC source. 

9. Disposal of this product should abide by all appropriate national laws and regulations.

Trap hosts are the destination IP addresses that you want the traps to be 
sent to. You can set the IP addresses in this Controller Setup or by using 
HyperTerminal. 


NOTE: The trap notifications are black from entering through the Windows firewall. Configure the Windows firewall settings to 
allow incoming network connections by adding a specific program (i.e. the SNMP Console). 


If the user is using the Authentication and Privacy passwords, they must remember these to use the Black Box GUI. Open the 
Black Box GUI and locate and click the "Setting" button. (See Figure A-10.) 


Connection Information 



Figure A-10. GUI connection information. 

A pop-up for the User Security Parameters will allow you to enter the correct IP Address of your PoE Gigabit Injector. If the user is 
using the Authentication and Privacy Passwords ensure that SNMPv3 is checked and enter in the correct passwords in the spaces 
provided. Ensure that the user also matches the name entered in the controller setup.

If you want to run your SNMP device in Static mode, you can also configure your IP address and subnet mask through the 
Ethernet Manager tool (etm.exe). 

Click Config—>IP Address 

NOTE: From the System Setup menu in the controller, your DHCP client setting must be Disable.

The Ethernet interface that the PoE Gigabit Injector performs under is TCP/IP, UDP port of 161. UDP port 161 for SNMP is an offi¬ 
cial IANA registered EDP port number. While attempting to connect to the Ethernet interface PoE Gigabit Injector via a different 
network domain, you must acknowledge that the local network supports the UDP port 161. 

Different Network Domain 



Network Domain

Appendix B: SNMP MIB Controls 


Description of Figure B-1: 

• Building #1 has one main network server that links all three floors together. 

• Building #2 has one main network server with the network domain of 254.168.2.xxx. 
Different methods of connection: 

NOTE: Access control from the controller setup is disabled (allowing all access). 


Connection within the same network domain. (Refer to the diagram above Building #1 in Figure B-1.) For example: 

• The Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector is connected to the network domain of 192.169.1 .xxx located on the 1st floor. All computers 
connected to the network domain of 192.168.1.xxx can communicate with the Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector. 

• The Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector remains connected on the network domain of 192.168.1.xxx. Since Building #1 has a main 
network server that links all three floors together, the computers on the second (192.168.2.xxx) and third (192.168.3.xxx) floors 
can also communicate with the Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector. 

Connection between different network domains. (Refer to the diagram above Building #2 in Figure B-1.) For example: 

• The Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector is connected to the network domain of Building #1 (192.168.1.xxx) would like to communicate 
with the Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector from Building #1. Building #1 must configure the main network server to allow access 
from an outside source, in this case Building #2. Building #1 must be able to support UDP port 161, for SNMP. Once the access 
is allowed, Building #2 can communicate with the Ethernet PoE Gigabit Injector.

Appendix C: Frequently Asked Questions 

Question: What happens if I forget my username and passwords for the Ethernet interface? 
Answer: Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or [email protected]. 


Question: What is the function of the "current share" pin on the CD power connector? Are there any protocols or procedures 
associated with it? 

Answer: The DC solution contains 3x 500W 50V rectifier modules (1000W N+1) with custom cables available for connection 

between the rectifier rack and up to four PoE Gigabit Injectors. The currently shared pin is an option that could be used 
to have the power supply inside the PoE Gigabit Injector currently shared with the rectifiers. There are no protocols or 
procedures associated with it other than it's designed only to work with our rectifier system, and even then it's not 
perfect sharing because of the inrush limiting components inside the PoE Gigabit Injector located on the DC input. 


Question: What type of display properties settings are required to run the Black Box SMNP v3 GUI? 

Answer: 16-bit: 1024 X 768 pixels, 1280 X 1024 pixels 
32-bit: 1024 X 768 pixels, 1280 X 1024 pixels 

If the settings are set to the values shown below, the edges of the GUI window will be cropped. 
16-bit: 640 X 480 pixels, 800 X 600 pixels 
32-bit: 640 X 480 pixels, 800 X 600 pixels
