L009UiGS-RM power on from PoE-in when DC power already connected?

Hi,

Is it possible to power on/start L009UiGS-RM from PoE when DC power plug is already connected? I tried PoE power cycle, force on, but nothing is working unless DC plug is removed completely.

My setup is like this, RB5009 running in separate room and L009 is another room. Both are connected to its own ISP through SFP. Both can be connected to each other using ethernet interface, already one physical ethernet cable runs between two routers location. Both routers powering its own access point through PoE.

What i want to achieve is, turn off L009 every night and week ends automatically and turn back on again next morning or monday morning. Unfortunately L009 will not power on the access point through PoE in, so i had to use DC power plug(48V) separately. I wrote script to shutdown(/system shutdown) every night and Next day morning i wanted to start again using PoE power cycle from RB5009 while DC is still plugged in.

But this does not work as expected, If i remove DC plug, then it is fine only through PoE in. But if i remove DC plug, then it cannot power in the access point.

Is this possible what i want to achieve without using any external relays or wifi smart switches?

Very likely it doesn’r work (with PoE forced-on) because the DC jack at 48 V is at the same (or slightly higher) voltage than the PoE source,

The standard power adapter fpr tje L009 is 24 V, you can try with that.

There has been a recent discussion about the RB5009, I don’t think the L009 would behave differently.

Unfortunately I can’t use 24v adapter as access point need 48v input.

No, it won’t work … regardless the DC jack voltage. When one cuts power on a port on PSE (RB5009), L009 will simply switch over to draw power from the source with lower voltage. It’s very useful feature when one wants to have power source redundancy.

And /system/shutdown doesn’t actually power down the device, it only shuts down the ROS … do you don’t actually save much power.

Idea was not to save power… Actually this setup was in a bedroom and I don’t want to see all those bright LEds in the ethernet and power source.

I think for now I disable all the interfaces. Hopefully that should disable all the LEDs

Or any other workaround/suggestions to achieve what I want?

Use black self-adhesive tape and cover all the leds.

That’s a good idea. But I didn’t want to permanently block it, only during night time wanted it to turn off. Anyways I understand there’s no software solutions for this.

You could make use of a sign like :wink: :
