Routerboard 2011UiAS-2HnD with Cisco PVC300 and PoE

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I have a Routerboard 2011UiAS-2HnD and want to use PoE with a Cisco PVC300 IP camera.
The camera doesn’t power up with just the ethernet cable plugged in port 10 and PoE activated on that port.

Is this a compatibility issue and do i have to use the MikroTik RBPOE-CON-HP Power Over Ethernet PoE Converter (48V to 24V)?

I don’t have the settings option for PoE: “/interface ethernet poe settings” so i tried downgrading to routeros 5.21 from the wiki manual: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PoE-Out#Troubleshooting.
But that didn’t worked because that firmware wouldn’t even load on my device.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks :smiley:

Edit:
I have a 2nd Routerboard and i noticed it has a slightly different board id: 2011UAS-2HnD, it misses the “i”. What is the difference between those two? Aand the same question about PoE stands as for the first one i mentioned above.

Edit2:
There’s another PoE device http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIKROTIK-Gigabit-PoE-adapter-injector-RBGPOE-for-any-RouterBOARD-9-48V-/181266838847?pt=US_Server_Power_Supplies&hash=item2a3458753f, do i need that?

I suspect the camera uses ‘normal’ PoE (802.3af/at) which most off-the-shelf PoE switches provide.
The Mikrotik kit all uses ‘Passive PoE’. It’s all incredibly confusing and I’m surprised the industry hasn’t been forced to stop calling them both ‘PoE’.

The first converter you list seems to accept 802.11af/at in, and convert to Passive PoE, to power a Mikrotik device, but not the other way round.

Unless anyone else has any ideas I’m not sure there is a solution to power an 802.11af/at device off the passive PoE port on the Mikrotik? A quick google check didn’t bring up anything obvious.
