You can add an optional S-POE daughter card to the G48Tc I/O module to provide Power over Ethernet
functions in this module. With an installed S-POE card, the ports can deliver Power over Ethernet (PoE)
to an attached device, as well as the usual Ethernet connection, using a single cable. The G48Tc I/O
module supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE specification.
In the default configuration of the G48Tc I/O module, all ports:
● Are added to the default VLAN as untagged
● Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLANid)
● Operate in autonegotiation mode
The G48Tc I/O module has the following LEDs:
● Module status
● Module diagnostics
● Port status
● POE present
For information about the LEDs and their activity on the G48Tc I/O module, see “I/O Module LEDs”
