Powering Options
The RUT500 router can be powered from power socket (1) or over Ethernet port (
applies only to the new hardware
revision*
). Depending on your network architecture you can use LAN 3 (2) or WAN (3) Ethernet port to power the
device.
RUT500 can be powered either from power socket or either over Ethernet.
Do not connect power supplies to both
power inputs simultaneously.
Also do not use LAN3 and WAN port for powering RUT500 simultaneously.
Use pin 5 of Ethernet port to supply positive voltage and connect pins 7 and 8 ground.
Even though only pin 5 is used in
router for positive voltage input, there is a posibility to connect power supplies that uses both pins 4 and 5 for positive
voltage.
To power
RUT500 using LAN3 or WAN ethernet ports, please make sure, that all jumpers from the pins
J4.1,J4.2, J3.1,J3.2 (show in a picture below) are removed, because there is a great risk of damaging a power supply!
To check if the jumpers were mounted, you need to remove front panel (the one with power socket).
Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard. Powering
RUT500 from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply
will damage the device
as it is not rated for input voltages of PoE
standard.
