try a crossover cable for the Mode B.
Please be sure to report back with your findingstry a crossover cable for the Mode B.
I will give this a try tonight, thank you.
MikroTik, sorry about the rant but please don't claim "802.3af support" as that standard requires PDs to accept both modes A/B (PSE is free to choose any one of them), both polarities, and 1500V isolation. The proper (not cheapest though) way to implement 802.3af PD is to use two bridge rectifiers and isolated (!) DC/DC converter. Otherwise, if one "almost 802.3af but not quite" PD has negative ground and another one has positive ground, you suddenly have 50V DC between the cases of the two devices. While 50V DC doesn't sound very lethal, it could still be dangerous for someone working on a roof/mast etc.try a crossover cable for the Mode B.
that one should work with the crossover cable, at least it works with all the switches we tested. which one do you use?RBSXTG-5HPacD 802.11at POE doesn't work either.
Will there be a further revision of the mAP and cAP with working 802.3af ?It looks like 802.3af support only works with specific type of switches. We will remove all reference to 802.3af in brochures and elsewhere, as currently it looks like it will not work with all devices. We will publish a list of supported switches in the Wiki
Ordered and installed a Poe switch last week just for the mAP and cAP that i have received today. I have been trying to get it to work for hours thinking my cabling was incorrect. Also the cAP does not seem to work with 802.3af. My POE 802.3af IP camera's work when plugging them into the switch. The cAP show's no signs of life using the same cable.
The device was never sold as having 802.3af. The mistake was in earlier brochures, before we started to offer this device. It does have Passive PoE support as it says in the brochure. I'm sorry that you mistook this device for 802.3af compatible. You can talk to the seller about returning them.Who can I speak to regarding RMA authorisation based on missing PoE support? I have 3 x mAP devices to return.
Wasn't the mAP on sale in Oct 15, when you, Normis, said that Mikrotik would (so apparently this had not been done by that time) remove all reference to 802.3af support?(Wed Oct 15, 2014 1:56 pm) It looks like 802.3af support only works with specific type of switches.

Please don't insult me by saying I imagined the 802.3af capability all on my own. The device was sold with 802.3af capability being advertised. It is still being advertised as such! You can see at the URL below where it literally states, " Any type PoE input 802.3af* and 802.3at*"The device was never sold as having 802.3af. The mistake was in earlier brochures, before we started to offer this device. It does have Passive PoE support as it says in the brochure.

Ok, it seems to be clear with passive PoE. And what about powering divice connected to mAP (eth2)? For example Cisco Phone or Hikvision camera? There is solid red LED and nothing more. Device connected to mAP not rising. In this case mAP is powered by "24V 0.8A power adapter" that was in box. Or this scenario also will work only with PoE injector?Due to hardware issue, mAP can only be powered from Passive PoE injector, not from 802.3af source. When we planned to make the mAP and announced it, we though this will be supported, but we had to remove it from the feature list because of a hardware incompatibility.
We plan to make 802.3af compatible devices in the future, but current mAP is not one of them
So was it fixed in later hw revisions, or so?It looks like 802.3af support only works with specific type of switches. We will remove all reference to 802.3af in brochures and elsewhere, as currently it looks like it will not work with all devices. We will publish a list of supported switches in the Wiki
