Powering remote devices

Allied Telesis 200/2000 Series Industrial Media Converters (IMCs) are ideal for powering remote devices such as IP phones video cameras and wireless Access Points (APs) which are more than 100m from a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. Each IMC can provide up to 60W of PoE.

The 2000T/SP and the 2000TP/SP each feature a 10/100/1000T twisted-pair port and an SFP port which
supports and auto detects 100X and 1000X optics. No switch configuration is needed. Allied Telesis offers a wide variety of SFPs featuring multimode single mode and BiDi optics.

Models with a fixed fiber-optic port are available with SC or LC connectors. With these you can achieve distances up to 2 km (100Mps) or 550 m (1000Mps). With the SFP model you can achieve greater distances using a long-range SFP.

In addition to transmitting data the twisted-pair port also injects power down the cable allowing a remote PoE powered device to operate without any additional power source. All PoE+ devices (IEEE802.3at compliant) are supported. All PoE+ devices support 802.3at PoE+ LTPoE++ and 4-pair. The PC200x PoE+ Series can deliver up to 70W of power to the remote device.

Remote Power Cycle

The 200/2000 Series supports the Remote Power Cycle feature. When the fiber port is dropped the TX PoE+ port cycles power. This allows a remote administrator to log in to a switch and disable the switch port to which the IMC is attached which causes the PoE+ device to lose power. This allows administrators to reset remote devices without physically going to the location.

Jumbo frame support

Many backbone switch products support the industry-standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) which sends extra-long data packets on the network. The 200/2000 Series are fully compatible with these long packets enabling them to be used in modern networks.

Smart MissingLink™ (SML)

The SML feature monitors network connections and provides a notification when a link fails allowing administrators to quickly identify the source and location of failed links and thus minimize downtime.
