When IBR has been securely mounted, connect a power source.
Include a secured drip loop for all connections to IBR. The loop will provide some strain relief to the
connectors and prevent water from flowing along the cable to the connector.
If the PoE
If the PoE
+
source is also connected to an Ethernet source, data will flow through IBR’s Ethernet port ge0.
If the power indicator LED does not illuminate when the power connection is made, consider the following:
• Is the RJ-45 connector securely inserted into both the PoE
+
source and IBR?
• Is power applied to the PoE
+
source? Check the indicator lights on the PoE
+
source if applicable.
• Are the cables of the proper type (CAT5E or CAT6)?
• Are the cables in good working order? (Cables should be certified using a Byte Brothers, Fluke, or
• Are the cables in good working order? (Cables should be certified using a Byte Brothers, Fluke, or
similar certifier.)
