The power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter allows Vizy to be powered via a PoE-compatible Ethernet cable. The PoE splitter is particularly useful when used with the outdoor enclosure because you only need to provide one cable into the enclosure to provide networking and power. And the cable can extend up to 100 meters (per the 1000BASE-T specification) from the networking and power source.

The PoE splitter provides a Vizy-friendly 12V at 1.0A.

There are several different products that will inject power into a 1000BASE-T ethernet cable, but perhaps the simplest is a PoE injector. The PoE injector should be:

• Rated for 30W of power or more
• 802.3af compatible
• 1000BASE-T (gigabit) compatible

1. Connect the PoE injector's network input to a hub or router via Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
2. Plug your PoE injector into power and turn on (if needed).
3. Plug the POE injector's network output into the PoE splitter via Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
   
4. Plug the network output into your Vizy.
   
5. Plug the power output into your Vizy.
   

Testing is straightforward – make sure the PoE injector is plugged in/supplying power and turn on your Vizy. After Vizy initializes, you should be able to communicate with it over the wired Ethernet.

If Vizy doesn't power up, make sure your PoE injector is getting power. Also, check the power connector into Vizy.

If you can't communicate with Vizy, make sure your network is up and running. Try connecting your Vizy to the network directly using the same cable and the AC supply to power Vizy.
