Metreau Entry Communicators

Ethernet 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 Wiring Configuration

The table below describes the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the Ethernet 10/100 Base-T connector and

cable. The Ethernet cable connection is illustrated in FIG. 7.

The Metreau Entry Communicators use CAT5/CAT6 wire via the Ethernet port for PoE power.

PoE (Power Over Ethernet)

Use the PS-POE-AF Power over Ethernet Injector (FG423-80) to simplify wiring and installation by

eliminating the need for an AC outlet at each point of installation.

 If used with a non PoE-capable Ethernet switch (such as the NXA-ENET24), then an optional

PS-POE-AF Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power supply is required to provide power to the

MET-ECOM.

 If the MET-ECOM is used with a PoE-capable Ethernet switch (such as the NXA-

ENET24PoE), then no PoE Injectors are required.
