Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology provides the ability to detect attached Powered Devices 
(PDs) and deliver 48 VDC to the PD via existing CAT5 cabling. The NetVanta 1355 PWR units are 
fully compliant with the power delivery options called out in the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet 
specification. By default, the PoE interfaces discover and provide power to IEEE compliant PDs. 

To disable power detection and supply, use the power inline never command in the CLI. To disable 
power detection and supply from the GUI, select the Ports page. Then select a single port from the 
list (e.g., eth 0/1). This will bring up the port detail page for eth 0/1. On this page, there is a check 
box to enable power detection.

Two configuration methods are available for your NetVanta 1355 PWR unit:

•

Web-based GUI

•

AOS Command Line Interface (CLI)

The GUI lets you configure the main unit settings and provides online guidance and explanations for 
each setting. However, using the AOS CLI may be necessary for more advanced configurations. 

You can access the web-based GUI from any web browser on your network by following these 
steps:

1.

Connect the unit to your PC using the Ethernet (ETH 0/0) port on the rear of the unit.

2.

Set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol 
(DHCP), or change your PC to a fixed IP address of 10.10.10.2. If you cannot change the PC’s 
IP address, you will need to change the unit’s IP address using the CLI. (Refer to the next two 
sections for instructions.)

3.

Enter the unit’s IP address in your browser address line. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1.

4.

You will then be prompted for the username and password (the default settings are admin and 
password).

5.

The initial GUI screen appears.

Access the AOS CLI via the CONSOLE port or a Telnet session. To establish a connection to the 
NetVanta unit’s CONSOLE port, you need the following items:

•

VT100 terminal or PC (with VT100 terminal emulation software)

•

Straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 (male) connector on one end and the appropriate 
interface for your terminal or PC communication port on the other end

1.

Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable to the CONSOLE port on the rear 
panel of the unit.

2.

Connect the other end of the serial cable to the terminal or PC.

3.

Insert the connector of the provided power cord into the power interface on the rear panel of 
the unit, and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.

4.

Once the unit is powered up, open a VT100 terminal session using the following settings: 
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit. Press <Enter> to activate the AOS CLI.

5.

Enter enable at the > prompt. Enter the enable password when prompted. The default 
password is password.
