Hello all,
Last day my installation fell down due to wind and rain and I decided to unmount it and build it again with better conditions. To do that, I wanted to
save some cables and PoE injectors by using the PoE-Out feature of my Omnitik UPA-5Hnd, so I upgraded the firmware of the Omnitik and enabled PoE-Out feature. It worked perfectly with other antennas, including the Nanostation Loco M5 I have. However, when I tried to plug my Picostation M2 it didn’t work, the Omnitik rebooted and, since then, the Picostation didn’t turn on anymore. The Omnitik remains ok, anyway.
After that, I realized that the Picostation PoE is different than others because it uses less voltage (15v instead of 24v). However, I thought that the PoE-Out feature worked with all the PoE voltage standards and that the AutoOn mode of the PoE port would protect my devices.
Despite of that, it seems that I can power on the Picostation with the serial interface on the board (at least leds blink), although the ethernet port does not work anymore.
In conclusion, my question are:
-
May the PoE-Out feature of the Omnitik UPA have burned my Picostation, even having in mind that I had the AutoOn mode enabled in my Omnitik ports?
-
How can I know and be sure of which devices or PoE inputs are safe to use with the PoE-Out feature? I am planning to buy new picostation and new antennas, and I would like to know which ones are safe to use with PoE-Out.
- Datasheet of my picostation (note that in the last page says that the power input is 15v)
