Overview
Phihong’s midspans are Power over Ethernet (PoE) injectors with output options ranging from 15.4W to 95W per port. Available with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 24 ports, Phihong’s midspans put out full power every port with no need to manage power across ports.
By using the SNMPv2C (Simple Networking Management Protocol version 2C) protocol, users can monitor and control the port status over their internet browser. Linking an Ethernet cable between their midspan and management computer, locally or otherwise through a network switch, users may manage certain functions including remote reset of powered devices. Users may connect to their midspan using the DHCP client on the midspan which will create a dynamic hostname and IP address unique to the network. Otherwise a Static IP address may be created by the user.
Internet browsers that users may choose from to access their Phihong midspans including: Internet Explorers 7 and 8 found on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari may also be used. To update the fi rmware on your midspan, only Microsoft XP or Vista may be used at this time.
