Installation and configuration
of the NTC-6200 Series router
Powering the router
The NTC-6200 Series router can be powered in one of three ways:
1.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NTC-6200-01 and NTC-6200-11 only)
2.
DC power input via 6-pin or 2-pin connector (8-40V DC)
3.
DC power input via field terminated power source (8-40V DC)
The green power LED on the router lights up when a power source is connected.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NTC-6200-01 and NTC-6200-11only)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power and data are passed
along a single cable. This may be a desirable method of powering the device if PoE is available, or if it’s most convenient in the
desired installation environment to only have a single cable running to the NTC-6200 Series router.
There are 5 power classes defined in the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard, of which the NTC-6200 Series router is a class 3 device.

Table 8 - PoE power classes
To use PoE to power the NTC-6200 Series router, simply connect your router to a PoE injector or PoE network switch using the
bundled yellow Ethernet cable 8P8C.
DC power via 6-pin or 2-pin connector
The DC input jack can accept power from a separately sold DC power supply. Both a standard temperature range DC power
supply and an extended temperature range DC power supply are available to purchase as accessories.
To supply the router with DC Power via the 6-pin or 2-pin connector, remove the attached green terminal block from your router
and connect the external DC power supply to the router’s green DC power jack.
DC power via field terminated power source
If an existing 8-40V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use
a flathead screwdriver to tighten the terminal block screws and secure the power wires, making sure the polarity of the wires are
correctly matched for your particular unit, as illustrated below.
