Power Over Ethernet working
December 8, 2007I have the POE working on the Linuxstamp. I’ll go through all of the equipment that I am using. To supply the power I looked at POE injectors, but they didn’t seem that economical for one port so decided on the Trendnet POE switch. It has 4 POE ports and 4 regular ports. Next is the ethernet connector on the Linuxstamp. After much looking I found this Pulse Jack. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it is over an inch long. All the jack is doing is bringing out the centers of the primary transformers (where the 48v is). I then run the 48v to a prototype motherboard where I have the Ag9050. The Ag9050 is an isolated 48v -> 5v POE module. The only other component is a 470uF cap on the 5v output of the Ag9050 (Linuxstamp 5v input). Now the Linuxstamp can run without a wall wart.
