Hi GCE PoE and PoE + have negotiation method to find out if the receiver is PoE enabled. PoE source first send about 25V with high source impedance and check if receiver present " signature impedance' of 27K ohm. If that is presented by receiver,PoE source turns on full 48Volts power supply for powering the device. regards Piyush On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 7:39 PM, gcemobile gcemobile <gcemobile@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > I've 2 scopes with LAN issue caused by dead Ethernet Controller chip.
