RE: [Karlnet] POE question

We use 15v power supplies when you get a cat5 run longer then 50-60'.

It has been my experience that the RGs will run a battery down to around 6v and then quit working.

So my guess is the range is 6-15v. That would be a safe bet anyway. Although on our 15v setups there is line loss. But I know we have powered them with 15v right from the wall wart and they worked fine.

Subject: [Karlnet] POE question

First, Happy New Year all!

Second, when using POE on an RG-1x00, what is the maximum voltage I should see at the RG end of the POE cable? It's hard to regulate.

In my latest install, I used the standard RG wall wart, and I get ~8.9 VDC at the RG, but the RG keeps rebooting, just like what I see when I use some 100mW cards that draw more power.

How high can/should I go with the RG before it starts to cause problems? 10V? 12V?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Travis
