16 Hardware Configuration
An EnRoute500 can be equipped with a number of optional hardware components, such as a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) source and a back-up battery. The “Hardware” tab on the “System”
page in the web interface displays whether these optional hardware components are installed
or not. If they are installed, their current operational state will be displayed.

16.1 Power Over Ethernet Source
An EnRoute500 may optionally be equipped with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. If the
PoE source is installed, the ‘dev.poe.installed’ parameter in the ‘sys’ interface will be set to
‘yes’. The state of the PoE source is controlled through the ‘dev.poe.enable’ parameter in the
‘sys’ interface. The PoE source voltage can be set to either 24 or 48V with the
‘dev.poe.voltage’ parameter in the ‘sys’ interface.
The PoE-related parameters can be set via the web interface on the “Hardware” tab on the
“System Parameters” page (see Figure 53). This page will indicate whether a PoE source
option is installed and will only display the PoE parameters if it is installed.
PoE parameter changes will take effect when the node is rebooted.
