AT-HUB PoE+ Converter for the Amazon Echo Hub

Welcome to the PoE Texas Manual for the patented AT-HUB designed for Amazon Echo Hub that gives you wired Power and Data or wired Power for your USB Type C devices! 

The purpose of the manual is to help you quickly and effectively navigate the installation and functions of your new Power Over Ethernet Converter.

Our goal is to make our products as intuitive and simple to use as possible, so we value your feedback and questions directly to us at service@poetexas.com.  Phone +1-512-479-0317.

Or you’re always welcome to leave questions or comments on our product page: AT-HUB and AT-HUB-USBC

What’s Inside

PARTS LIST:

  • 1 X POE+ Converter

with optional:

  • 1 X USB-C to USB-C (right angle)

    The AT-HUB can include a range of short, medium, or long cables provided by PoE Texas.  It is also compatible with most USB-C cables.

     

    GENERAL INSTALLATION

     

    Your new PoE converter is designed to be simple to install and set up.  It is small and light enough to leave “inline” with your network cable and designed to fit inside a US single gang wall box or 60 mm deep EU round wall box.

    Once it is in place, simply follow these steps in order:

    1 – Plug the RJ-45 end into an IEEE 802.3at PoE (POE+) or 48-56 volt passive Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with a data source

    2 – Connect the Amazon Echo Hub and logged in

    The AT-HUB is NOT designed to have a device plugged into both ports at the same time.  One port is the programming port only.

    CONFIGURATION

    Configuring Your Cisco Enterprise POE Switch for 2 Event PoE Classification

    Yeah, I know that’s a mouthful.  Here’s the simple translation.  Cisco enterprise switches including the 9400 and 9300 models, which is a lot of them, come with a default setting that makes them less compatible PoE+ devices like the GAT-USBC-PD.   You’ll know the setting isn’t right because our device won’t power on correctly, and your device won’t charge.  How frustrating!

    It’s a simple enough fix.  You simply need to configure the ports that will power the GAT-USBC-PD to have 2 event classification.  You can find the Cisco documentation on how to do that here: CONFIGURE MY SWITCH

    Or here are the steps you take after you’ve logged into the terminal. 

    Switch> enable
    Switch# configure terminal
    Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1

    Switch(config-if)# power inline port 2-event

    There’s no configuration necessary for your Microsoft Surface products.  You can simply use the connection as an Ethernet connection on the device.

    iPad Pro Gen 3

    Configuring Your iPad for Wired Data

    There are a couple easy steps for configuring your iPad to get the best results when working with wired data.

    First, we’re going to enable USB devices to allow charging even when the iPad is “off” or the screen is locked.  

    If you you don’t have the most up to date iOS software, take this time to update to iOS 12.2 or later.  Otherwise, it will prevent any connected device from charging or communicating with it after the screen has been locked for an hour.  Here’s how to fix that:

    • Navigate to the Settings tab
    • Select Face ID & Passcode
    • Ensure the USB Accessories button is toggled to “On” meaning you see the green

    You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer.  When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on.

    • Go to the Settings icon on your iPad
    • Select Display & Brightness
    • Select Auto Lock
    • Set the limit to Never

     

     

    The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.

    1. Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…>
    2. Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it

    You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information.  If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.

    If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.  

    The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.

    For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.

    Best Practices for iOS Updates

    Despite Apple’s excellent reputation for ensuring backward compatibility with their iPads and iPhones, practical experience with a recent iOS update has revealed that even they can miss things which can temporarily lead to disruption of service for your device.   If your device must be reliable 24/7, we recommend these following best practices:

    • Go to Settings -> General -> Software Updates -> Automatic Updates
    • Deselect “Install iPadOS Updates”
    • Before choosing to install the next update, please check into our iOS Compatibility Table to check whether we have finished testing the performance of an new iPadOS version

    IEEE 802.3af PoE – No Configuration Necessary

    As a PoE device – not PoE+ or PoE++ – this device is compatible with ALL PoE switches and does not require any configuration on the switch side.

    iPad Pro and 10th Gen

    Configuring Your iPad for Wired Data

    There are a couple easy steps for configuring your iPad to get the best results when working with wired data.

    First, we’re going to enable USB devices to allow charging even when the iPad is “off” or the screen is locked.

    If you you don’t have the most up to date iOS software, take this time to update to iOS 12.2 or later.  Otherwise, it will prevent any connected device from charging or communicating with it after the screen has been locked for an hour.  Here’s how to fix that:

    • Navigate to the Settings tab
    • Select Face ID & Passcode
    • Ensure the USB Accessories button is toggled to “On” meaning you see the green

    You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer.  When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on.

    • Go to the Settings icon on your iPad
    • Select Display & Brightness
    • Select Auto Lock
    • Set the limit to Never

     

     

    The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.

    1. Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…>
    2. Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it

    You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information.  If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.

    If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.  

    The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.

    For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.

    Best Practices for iOS Updates

    Despite Apple’s excellent reputation for ensuring backward compatibility with their iPads and iPhones, practical experience with a recent iOS update has revealed that even they can miss things which can temporarily lead to disruption of service for your device.   If your device must be reliable 24/7, we recommend these following best practices:

    • Go to Settings -> General -> Software Updates -> Automatic Updates
    • Deselect “Install iPadOS Updates”
    • Before choosing to install the next update, please check into our iOS Compatibility Table to check whether we have finished testing the performance of an new iPadOS version

    iOS Compatibility Table

    • Finally, to get emailed live updates on iOS compatibility, subscribe to our mailing list for iOS compatibility

    Android (Samsung Tab and Google Pixel)

    If you’re using a Samsung Tab A model year after 2019, you may experience some difficulties establishing the wired data connection.  Please contact service@poetexas.com if you’re experiencing compatibility issues with your Samsung device.

     

    Otherwise, simply confirm the data by looking for the Ethernet symbol on the upper right.  No configuration necessary.

    PARTS LIST:

    • 1 X POE+ Converter
    • 1 X Startech DFS Certified Cable

    USB-C Cables

    You can choose one of our USB-C cables to fit your application length. Our USB-C to Lightning connector allows you to charge and send data to an iPad from our AT-USBC-A-PD.

    Go to Shop

    GENERAL INSTALLATION

     

    Your new PoE converter is designed to be simple to install and set up.  It is small and light enough to leave “inline” with your network cable.

    You may also choose to use the four M3 sized mounting brackets to secure the device to a wall or surface or mount it inside a wall using our In-wall wall bracket.

     

    Once it is in place, simply follow these steps in order:

    1 – Plug the RJ-45 end into an IEEE 802.3at PoE (POE+) or 48-56 volt passive Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with a data source

    The converter will automatically set up the network connection with your device and begin charging.  To confirm that, go to the General settings tab or look for the <…> symbol next to Ethernet.

    CONFIGURATION

    Configuring Your Cisco Enterprise POE Switch for 2 Event PoE Classification

    Yeah, I know that’s a mouthful.  Here’s the simple translation.  Cisco enterprise switches including the 9400 and 9300 models, which is a lot of them, come with a default setting that makes them less compatible PoE+ devices like the GAT-USBC-PD.   You’ll know the setting isn’t right because our device won’t power on correctly, and your device won’t charge.  How frustrating!

    It’s a simple enough fix.  You simply need to configure the ports that will power the GAT-USBC-PD to have 2 event classification.  You can find the Cisco documentation on how to do that here: CONFIGURE MY SWITCH

    Or here are the steps you take after you’ve logged into the terminal. 

    Switch> enable
    Switch# configure terminal
    Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1

    Switch(config-if)# power inline port 2-event
    Switch(config-if)# end

    Microsoft Surface Go

    There’s no configuration necessary for your Microsoft Surface products.  You can simply use the connection as an Ethernet connection on the device.

    How to Check for Power and Data in Kiosk Mode with the Communify app installed

    Once the kiosk has been connected to a properly configured PoE+ switch, powered on, and booted, you can simply swipe down from the top of the screen to view a status bar that will indicate whether the Surface Go is receiving power and charging as well as whether it has wireless or wired data connected. 

    Please contact your Communify representative if you do not see power and wired data.

    • 1 X Mounting Screws

    You will need a low voltage mouting ring or single gang wall box as well as a home-run data cable.

    If you’re looking for a Power and Data over USB Type C solution, check out our AT-USBC-JB.

      General Installation

      Before You Install:

      Yes, this converter will work with a normal PoE (IEEE 802.3af) switch or midspan for 12 watts of power, but in order to also have PoE on the output port and USB charging at the same time you need a PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).  You can find our more powerful PoE switches here.

      If you already have a PoE switch and want the full PoE+ power, PoE Texas offers midspans that can add PoE+ to any PoE switch.  You can find the midspans here.  Do contact us at success@poetexas.com or 512-479-0317 if you’d like help selecting a product.

      This device includes a bi-directional USB port so no matter what orientation you use, it will fit and delivers up to 12 watts of charging while still allowing the network port to have PoE.

      The installation is simple and only requires a few minutes to set up without specialty tools.

      • Make the home run cable from the main switch: PoE or PoE+ (preferred) in the server room or IDF. 
      • Run the home run cable to the end location where you want your device.  
      • Install a low voltage ring or single gang box.
      • Connect the home run ethernet to the port on the back of the device.
      • The blue power light will turn on and your device powers up.

      CONFIGURATION

      Configuring Your Cisco Enterprise POE Switch for 2 Event PoE Classification

      Yeah, I know that’s a mouthful.  Here’s the simple translation.  Cisco enterprise switches including the 9400 and 9300 models, which is a lot of them, come with a default setting that makes them less compatible PoE+ devices like the GAT-USBC-PD.   You’ll know the setting isn’t right because our device won’t power on correctly, and your device won’t charge.  How frustrating!

      It’s a simple enough fix.  You simply need to configure the ports that will power the GAT-USBC-PD to have 2 event classification.  You can find the Cisco documentation on how to do that here: CONFIGURE MY SWITCH

      The GAT-USB-IW will automatically configure the Power over Ethernet settings on the output port and will start charging any USB device, so there is no configuration necessary.

       

      TROUBLESHOOTING:


      The GAT-USB-IW is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so.  However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:

      1 – Is the blue LED light on the GAT-USB-IW?

      – If the light is “off” you don’t have any power coming to the GAT-USB-IW.

      – The GAT-USB-IW may not power up immediate as soon as you connect it to PoE without a USB device connected to it.  So make sure an end device is connected.

      2 – If the power cycles on and off continuously, check whether the PoE port is turning on and off during this.  If that’s the case, then the Powered Device is trying to draw too much power for the PoE port.  Upgrade the port to PoE+.

      AT-USBC-JB, The In-wall PoE Converter for all Tablet Devices <13″

      Welcome to the PoE Texas Manual for the patented AT-USBC-JB designed for all tablet devices including Microsoft Surface, Apple iPad (USB-C and Lightning), Samsung Tab, and Amazon Fire that gives you wired Power and Data Power for your USB Type C devices!  It is also rated at a maximum output of 25W while the AF-USBC-JB is rated at a maximum output 15W and only has a PoE output.

      The purpose of the manual is to help you quickly and effectively navigate the installation and functions of your new Power Over Ethernet Converter.

      Our goal is to make our products as intuitive and simple to use as possible, so we value your feedback and questions directly to us at service@poetexas.com.  Phone +1-512-479-0317.

      Or you’re always welcome to leave questions or comments on our product page: AT-USBC-JB

      What’s Inside

      PARTS LIST:

      • 1 X POE+ Converter

      with optional:

      • 1 X USB-C to USB-C (right angle)

      or

      • 1 X USB-C to Lightning (right angle)

      The AT-USBC-JB can include a range of short, medium, or long cables provided by PoE Texas.  It is also compatible with most USB-C cables.

      Note: Apple’s USB-C to lightning cable will function with this device to deliver power, however, that particular cable is NOT designed to deliver power and wired data simultaneously.  For that purpose, we’ve designed our USB-C to Lightning Cable.

       

      GENERAL INSTALLATION

       

      Your new PoE converter is designed to be simple to install and set up.  It is small and light enough to leave “inline” with your network cable and designed to fit inside a US single gang wall box or 60 mm deep EU round wall box.

      Once it is in place, simply follow these steps in order:

      1 – Plug the RJ-45 end into an IEEE 802.3at PoE (POE+) or 48-56 volt passive Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with a data source

      2 – Ensure the device you’re connecting to is on and logged in

      3 – Plug the USB-C connector into the device using the port you prefer

      In order to keep this device as compact as possible, the USB-C ports do share the Power Delivery (PD) communication pins.  If your device turns the power and data on/off rapidly after connecting it, unplug the USB-C cable at the AT-USBC-JB connector, rotate it 180 degrees and reconnect it.

      Option 2 – USB-C Power Delivery + USB 2.0 Data – Ideal for iPads (lightning or USB-C), Surface Go, Samsung Tab, or Google Pixel Phones

      The converter will automatically set up the network connection with your device and begin charging.  To confirm that, go to the General settings tab or look for the <…> symbol next to Ethernet.

      CONFIGURATION

      Configuring Your Cisco Enterprise POE Switch for 2 Event PoE Classification

      Or here are the steps you take after you’ve logged into the terminal. 

      Switch> enable
      Switch# configure terminal
      Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1

      Switch(config-if)# power inline port 2-event
      Switch(config-if)# end

      Microsoft Surface Go

      There’s no configuration necessary for your Microsoft Surface products.  You can simply use the connection as an Ethernet connection on the device.

      iPad Pro Gen 3

      Configuring Your iPad for Wired Data

      There are a couple easy steps for configuring your iPad to get the best results when working with wired data.

      First, we’re going to enable USB devices to allow charging even when the iPad is “off” or the screen is locked.  

      If you you don’t have the most up to date iOS software, take this time to update to iOS 12.2 or later.  Otherwise, it will prevent any connected device from charging or communicating with it after the screen has been locked for an hour.  Here’s how to fix that:

      • Navigate to the Settings tab
      • Select Face ID & Passcode
      • Ensure the USB Accessories button is toggled to “On” meaning you see the green

      You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer.  When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on.

      • Go to the Settings icon on your iPad
      • Select Display & Brightness
      • Select Auto Lock
      • Set the limit to Never

       

       

      The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.

      1. Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…>
      2. Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it

      You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information.  If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.

      If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.  

      The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.

      For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.

      Best Practices for iOS Updates

      Despite Apple’s excellent reputation for ensuring backward compatibility with their iPads and iPhones, practical experience with a recent iOS update has revealed that even they can miss things which can temporarily lead to disruption of service for your device.   If your device must be reliable 24/7, we recommend these following best practices:

      • Go to Settings -> General -> Software Updates -> Automatic Updates
      • Deselect “Install iPadOS Updates”
      • Before choosing to install the next update, please check into our iOS Compatibility Table to check whether we have finished testing the performance of an new iPadOS version

      iOS Compatibility Table

      • Finally, to get emailed live updates on iOS compatibility, subscribe to our mailing list for iOS compatibility

      Android (Samsung Tab and Google Pixel)

      If you’re using a Samsung Tab A model year prior to 2019, you may experience some difficulties establishing the wired data connection.  Please contact service@poetexas.com if you’re experiencing compatibility issues with your Samsung device.

       

      Otherwise, simply confirm the data by looking for the Ethernet symbol on the upper right.  No configuration necessary.

        General Installation

        Please follow the Heckler Design Mounting Instructions here.

        The most important Power Over Ethernet feature you need to be aware of is that the iPAD Wall Mount requires 24 volt Passive PoE, a datacom industry standard, in order to fit the case.  We offer the mount kitted with either a 24 passive PoE injector you can install back in the IDF or server room, or a POE inline converter that transforms IEEE 802.3af or at into 24 volt passive PoE.

        You can find all of our compatible PoE devices here.

        Since you’re using 24 volt passive PoE, please connect the wires to the iPAD mount prior to plugging in the RJ-45 into the injector or converter.

        CONFIGURATION

        The iPAD Wall Mount requires no configuration and should begin charging as soon as you connect it to your iPad.

        TROUBLESHOOTING

        The iPAD Wall Mount is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so.  However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:

        1 – Are you using a 24 volt passive PoE power source?  A Cisco or other IEEE 802.3af or at switch will not power on the mount.

        2 – Are the connectors on the iPad mount secure pressed down?  And when you gently tug on the wires to they come out by themselves?.

        3 – The wiring diagram is for a straight through cable with blue white/blue and brown white/brown connected to pins 4/5 and 7/8 respectively.  If your wire is connected up differently than this diagram, please contact us.

          General Installation

          Your new PoE splitter is designed to be simple to install and set up.  It comes with mounting screw tabs for a #4 wood screw which allows you to mount it easily on plywood or on DIN rail brackets. 

          Once it is in place, simply plug the RJ-45 end into an IEEE 802.3at PoE or 48-56 volt passive Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with a data source, and the other end into your device such as a camera, tablet, or any compatible device. 

          That’s it.  You device should immediately start charging.

          CONFIGURATION

          There is no configuration necessary with this device.  Simply plug it in.

          The yellow LED indicates power on the primary side (your PoE side).  The green indicates power on the secondary (DC power side).

          The trickiest part is selecting the right cable for your application.

           

          TROUBLESHOOTING:


          The GAT splitter is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so.  However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:

          1 – Are the yellow and green LED lights on the GAT splitter?

          – If both lights are “off” you don’t have any power coming to the splitter.

          – If only one yellow light is on, then you have power to the GAT splitter, however, there’s a short on power output side.  You can try replacing the DC power cable cable.  If that doesn’t work, contact us for a replacement.

          – The GAT splitter may not power up immediate as soon as you connect it to PoE without a powered device connected to it.  So make sure your end device is connected.

          2 – If the power cycles on and off continuously, check whether the PoE port is turning on and off during this.  If that’s the case, then the Powered Device is trying to draw too much power for the PoE port.  Upgrade the port to PoE+.

              General Installation

              Yes, this splitter will work with a normal PoE (IEEE 802.3af) switch or midspan for 12 watts of power, but to get the full PoE power budget you need a PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).

              If you have a PoE switch and want the full PoE+ power, PoE Texas offers midspans that can add PoE+ to any PoE switch.  You can find the midspans here.  Do contact us at poe.shifu@poetexas.com or 512-479-0317 if you’d like help selecting a product.

              Knowing a little about USB Type C helps understand how to get the most out of your device.  USB Type C Power Delivery (PD)  means the device your powering like a tablet or phone sends a message to the power supply, our GAT-USBC, to find out what kind of power it can supply.  Normally, devices, including the GAT-USBC, advertise that they can do 5, 9, 12, 15, and 20 volts.  Then your USB-C device decides what it likes best and requests that profile.  Then power starts to flow.  However, if the two devices cannot agree on a profile, it defaults to 5 volts.  If the device being powered doesn’t like 5 volts, well, it just doesn’t charge.

              How Do I Know What Profiles I Need?

              The easiest way to find at least some of the profiles of your device is to look at the power supply that came with it.  On the Output side you’ll find the profile of your device.  Compare that to the profiles on the GAT-USBC to confirm they match.

              WARNING: Samsung devices have a USBC connector, but they use QuickCharge 2.0, not PD.  This model will only charge at the 5 volt 3 amp profile.

              The installation is simple and only requires a few minutes to set up with now specialty tools.

              • Make the home run cable from the main switch: PoE or PoE+ (preferred) in the server room or IDF. 
              • Run the home run cable to the end location where you want your device.  
              • Connect the GAT-USBC to the CAT Cable.
              • Connect the USBC cable from the GAT-USBC to your end device.
              • The green and orange lights will turn on and your device powers up.

              CONFIGURATION

              The GAT-USBC will automatically configure the Power Delivery (PD) settings with your tablet device, so there is no configuration necessary.

               

              TROUBLESHOOTING:


              The GAT-USBC is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so.  However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:

              1 – Are the yellow and green LED lights on the GAT-USBC?

              – If both lights are “off” you don’t have any power coming to the GAT-USBC.

              – If only one yellow light is on, then you have power to the GAT-USBC, however, there’s a short on power output side.  You can try replacing the USBC cable.  If that doesn’t work, contact us for a replacement.

              – The GAT-USBC may not power up immediate as soon as you connect it to PoE without a USBC device connected to it.  So make sure your end device is connected.

              2 – If the power cycles on and off a couple times the settles down, that is fine.  It’s just the Power Delivery sorting itself out.

              – If the power cycles on and off continuously, check whether the PoE port is turning on and off during this.  If that’s the case, then the Powered Device is trying to draw too much power for the PoE port.  Upgrade the port to PoE+.  If you already have a PoE+ port, consider upgrading to the PoE-USBC-Kit that gives you a 41 watt budget.

              GBT-12v60w

              PARTS LIST:

              • 1 X 802.3bt (POE++) to 12 volt 60 watt DC splitter
              • 2x side mount tabs

              Additional items you’ll need not included:

              1 – Screws for mounting

              2 – 802.3 bt Compatible POE Switch or Midspan Injector

              3 – Home run cable from POE Switch or Injector to GBT-12V60W 

              4- DC wire to connect to 12 volt device.

              • Looking for a solution? Try our DC-21MM DC wire lead to a 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC connector (fits most 12 volt devices)

              General Installation

              The GBT-12v60w is a PoE  Splitter/ Converter. The purpose send 40-57 volts POE ++ to the input and allow GBT-12V60W to convert this PoE power to 12 volts 60 watts for a DC powered device, with Gigabit data available on the LAN port.

               This unit must be used with 802.3bt compliant PoE switch or injector, capable of providing at least 60 watts on the PoE output (4 pair PoE). Designed for Indoor use only.

               

              1. Use a patch cable to run from your powering equipment to this wall mounted splitter and simply mount it near the 12 volt DC device your powering.
              2. Plug your PoE cable to the ‘PoE’ port on GBT-12v60w.
              3. Using your existing DC cable (or cable purchased from us –DC-21MM) hard wire into GBT-12v60w —[Red is (+) on the left, White is ground on the middle, and Black is (-)on the right] see below.
              4. Use a patch cable to connect from LAN on the splitter to LAN on your powered device.

              CONFIGURATION

              There is no configuration necessary with this device.  Simply plug it in.

              The green LED indicates power on.  If the light turns blue, it indicates the device is drawing more than 60 watts of power.   

              If the green light begins to blink at any time, it could indicate there is a short in the circuit or a compatibility issue.

              STEPS TO TROUBLESHOOT:

              1 – At the injector, disconnect the PoE port from your device.  Use a PoE Tester to confirm the device is able to power on using a short jumper cable.

              2 – At the other end of the PoE cable to your device, disconnect the device and use the PoE Tester to confirm it is able to negotiate PoE.

              3 – Connect the PoE Tester in line with the end device to monitor power consumption.

              The things you want to make sure you get are:

               – Patch cables for the data to the midspan and from the splitter to the device

               – USB Type C male to male cables in the configuration you need

               – Screws for mounting the devices

               – Homerun data cable

              If you’re looking for a Power and Data over USB Type C solution, we can also offer a USB Type C hub with a female connector in OEM quantities.

                General Installation

                In order to overcome the power limitations of PoE+ which limits a Powered Device to 25 watts, we have opted to use a Passive PoE allowing up to 41 watts in a full kit.  

                You must use the PoE Texas provided midspan and power supply included in this kit to ensure the optimal performance.  If you need a multi-port alternative, please contact us at poe.shifu@poetexas.com or 512-479-0317.

                The installation is simple and only requires a few minutes to set up with now specialty tools.

                • Go to the power and/or data source location whether its a server room, IDF, or a space provided near an AC outlet and/or datasource.
                • Mount the GPOE-1AB using the M3 mounting tabs near enough to an outlet to allow the 3′ power supply to connect.
                • Plug the 21-Y cable into the power port on the top and the bottom of the GPOE-1AB.
                • Plug the 32 volt power supply into the female end of the 21-Y cable.  Then plug it into the wall outlet.  You will see power is available when the two LED lights turn green.
                • Run the home-run cable to the final tablet location.
                • Mount the POE-USBC onto a surface near the tablet computer.  The POE-USBC can be left as an inline device if you want to.
                • Connect the home-run cable.  The power is functional as soon as the yellow and green LED lights turn on.
                • Connect the USB Type C cable from the female port of the POE-USBC to the tablet computer.
                • (Optional) You can use the RJ-45 port on the POE-USBC to connect the data.  If you’d like combined power and data, we can supply an OEM hub.  Otherwise, we’ll come out with the GAT-USBC-PD soon.

                CONFIGURATION

                The PoE-USBC will automatically configure the Power Delivery (PD) settings with your tablet device, so there is no configuration necessary.

                 

                TROUBLESHOOTING:


                The POE-USBC-Kit is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so.  However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:

                1 – Are the two green LED lights on the GPOE-1AB on?  If not you don’t have power to the midspan.

                2 – Are the yellow and green LED lights on the POE-USBC?  If both lights are “off” you don’t have any power coming to the POE-USBC.

                 – If only one yellow light is on, then you have power to the POE-USBC, however, there’s a short on power output side.  You can try replacing the USBC cable.  If that doesn’t work, contact us for a replacement.

                3 – If the power cycles on and off a couple times the settles down, that is fine.  It’s just the Power Delivery sorting itself out.

                Welcome to the PoE Texas Manual for the GBT-NUC!

                The purpose of the manual is to help you quickly and effectively navigate the installation and functions of your new PoE NUC Lid.

                Our goal is to make our products as intuitive and simple to use as possible, so we value your feedback and questions directly to us at service@poetexas.com.  Phone +1-512-479-0317.

                Or you’re always welcome to leave questions or comments on our product pages: GBT-NUC.

                What’s Inside

                PARTS LIST: GBT-NUC

                • 1 X Gen 7 Form Factor NUC Lid
                • 1 X Gen 8 & 10 Form Factor NUC Lid
                • 1 X IEEE 802.3bt/uPoE Adapter
                • 1 X Ethernet Patch Cable
                • 1 X Power Patch Cable

                You have everything you need to fit most models of the NUC.

                 

                GENERAL INSTALLATION

                 

                Besides the GBT-NUC kit, you will need the right kind of PoE installed. NUC’s can draw a fair amount of power, so you really need an IEEE802.3bt or uPoE switch or injector.  For example, you can use our BT-1-55v60w-IN, which is our indoor IEEE 802.3bt dual signature injector you can find on yourfavorite sales channel.  This injector allows you to add IEEE 802.3bt power to any PoE or non-PoE switch.


                Otherwise, yes, you can use your Cisco uPoE devices, and we have notes in the configuration section on how to configure the port for the POE NUC lid. 

                Put it together:

                The installation is simple and fast to accomplish. The hardest step is making sure you have the right lid model installed on your adapter.  Let me show you how it’s done. 


                The form factor information is in the part number.  Flip it over and check outthe part number.  Find the first “i” then the number before that is the model number you need for the lid.  In this case, it is the “8”.  Simply check whether the underside lid is labeled with the same number, “7” or “8”.  If you have the wrong lid on, no problem!  Simply unscrew the lid and screw on the correct lid.

                • Now, remove the lid from your NUC. Look for these little openings, and gently start pulling up.

                • Now, the next thing to consider are these funny rubber pads.  These are your thermal pads.  They help manage the heat from the NUC lid.  Simply place these in these configurations depending which NUC lid model you have.

                • Then, gently place the lid on your NUC.  Once it’s in place, a little pressure will clip the lid on.

                 

                • Finally, use the included patch cable to connect the LAN port to the ethernet port of your NUC and the DC power cable to the DC port of the NUC.  And you’re ready to connect the power to the PoE port.  Your NUC should start to boot right away.

                CONFIGURATION

                Configuring Your GBT-Nuc

                You’re not required to do any configuration with IEEE 802.3bt switches and injectors. The PoE NUC lid will work right away.   Cisco uPoE switches do require some configuration on the switch to enable the right PoE for the PoE NUC Lid.

                 

                However, if you’re using Windows, there’s a best practice we’ve found I like to do.  Simply type “Power & Sleep settings” in the search bar at the bottom.  Select “Additional Power Settings”.  “ChangePower Settings”.  Choose the “Balanced” settings to keep the NUC from spiking power.

                  If you’re using a Cisco uPoE switch, you do need to configure the port to provide 60 watts of power to your NUC lid.  Prior to powering on the NUC, you need to configure any Cisco uPOE switch to 4-pair Forced PoE mode. 


                  The following steps are for the Cisco CDB-8u, however the commands remain the same.  Only the port identifiers change.

                  Once you’ve logged into the Cisco terminal and you’re at the terminal, follow these steps to configure Port 1 to 4-pair Forced PoE which will allow the switch to power the NUC Lid:

                  • Switch#enable
                  • Switch#configure terminal
                  • Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet1/0/1
                  • Switch(config)#power inline consumption 60000
                  • Switch(config-if)#power inline four-pair forced
                  • Switch(config-if)#end

                  PARTS LIST: GAF-LIGHTNING-PD-V3

                  • 1 X POE Splitter (Power + Data in 1 cable)

                   

                  PARTS LIST: GAF-LIGHTNING-PD-V4

                  • 1 X POE Converter (Power + Data in 1 cable) USB-C to Lightning Cable

                   

                  GENERAL INSTALLATION

                   

                  Your new PoE splitter is designed to be simple to install and set up.  It is small and light enough to leave “inline” with your network cable.  

                   

                  You may also choose to use the two M3 sized mounting brackets to secure the device to a wall or surface.

                   

                  Once it is in place, simply follow these steps in order:

                  1 – Plug the RJ-45 end into an IEEE 802.3af PoE or 48-56 volt passive Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with a data source

                  2 – Ensure the iPad is on and log in

                  3 – Plug the lightning connector into the iPad

                  The device will automatically set up the network connection with an iPad and begin charging.  To confirm that, go to the General settings tab and look for the <…> symbol next to Ethernet.

                   

                  In case you iPad loses its connection due to a reboot or an update follow these steps:

                  RECONNECTING DATA TO YOUR IPAD.

                  Take Care Handling the Lightning Connector

                  To allow our product to be installed in enclosures and tight spaces, we have designed the lightning head at a right angle.  However, that tight design does make the head easier to break if twisted in or out of the iPad. 

                   

                  To insert the connector into the iPad:

                  • Grasp the top an bottom between your pointer finger and thumb
                  • Push straight in and pull straight out

                  Damaging the Lightning Connector

                  Twisting or jerking the lightning connector out to the side will damage the lighting connector.  At best, it will become intermittent.

                  At worst, the lightning connector will come out completely.

                   

                  • Do not remove by pulling on the cord
                  • Do not lever side to side

                   

                  Thank you for your care with this product!

                  Getting the Unlock iPad to Use Accessories warning?  

                  We’ll fix that in the configuration below.

                  CONFIGURATION

                  Configuring Your iPad for Wired Data

                  There are a couple easy steps for configuring your iPad to get the best results when working with wired data.

                  First, we’re going to enable USB devices to allow charging even when the iPad is “off” or the screen is locked.  

                  If you you don’t have the most up to date iOS software, take this time to update to iOS 12.2 or later.  Otherwise, it will prevent any connected device from charging or communicating with it after the screen has been locked for an hour.  Here’s how to fix that:

                   

                  • Navigate to the Settings tab
                  • Select Face ID & Passcode
                  • Ensure the USB Accessories button is toggled to “On” meaning you see the green

                  You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer.  When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on. 

                  • Go to the Settings icon on your iPad
                  • Select Display & Brightness
                  • Select Auto Lock
                  • Set the limit to Never

                  Best Practices for iOS Updates

                  Despite Apple’s excellent reputation for ensuring backward compatibility with their iPads and iPhones, practical experience with a recent iOS update has revealed that even they can miss things which can temporarily lead to disruption of service for your device.   If your device must be reliable 24/7, we recommend these following best practices:

                  • Go to Settings -> General -> Software Updates -> Automatic Updates
                  • Deselect “Install iPadOS Updates”
                  • Before choosing to install the next update, please check into our iOS Compatibility Table to check whether we have finished testing the performance of an new iPadOS version

                  iOS Compatibility Table

                  • Finally, to get emailed live updates on iOS compatibility, subscribe to our mailing list for iOS compatibility

                  In case of a reboot or shut down of the iPad, some iPad models will not reconnect the data connection of the GAF-Lightning-PD to the iPad.

                  • Simply log into the iPad,
                  • Disconnect the lightning connector to the iPad
                  • Cycle on the PoE port either by disconnecting the network cable or cycling power through the PoE management.
                  • Once you reconnect, your iPad will re-establish communications.

                  If you have remote control of your PoE ports, have someone log into the iPad, then reboot the PoE port.  It may require 2 reboots to reestablish connection.

                  The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.

                   

                  You can now update these settings with these steps:

                  1. Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…>
                  2. Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it
                  You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information.  If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.

                  If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.

                  The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.

                  For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.

                        Do you have an iPad with a lightning connector?  No problem.  Our USB-C to Lightning connector allows you to charge and send data to an iPad from our GAT-USBC-PD.

                        GENERAL INSTALLATION

                         

                        Your new PoE converter is designed to be simple to install and set up.  It is small and light enough to leave “inline” with your network cable.  

                        You may also choose to use the four M3 sized mounting brackets to secure the device to a wall or surface.

                         

                        Once it is in place, simply follow these steps in order:

                        1 – Plug the RJ-45 end into an IEEE 802.3at PoE (POE+) or 48-56 volt passive Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with a data source

                        2 – Ensure the device you’re connecting to is on and logged in

                        3 – Plug the USB-C connector into the device

                        The converter will automatically set up the network connection with your device and begin charging.  To confirm that, go to the General settings tab or look for the <…> symbol next to Ethernet.

                        CONFIGURATION

                        Configuring Your Cisco Enterprise POE Switch for 2 Event PoE Classification

                        Yeah, I know that’s a mouthful.  Here’s the simple translation.  Cisco enterprise switches including the 9400 and 9300 models, which is a lot of them, come with a default setting that makes them less compatible PoE+ devices like the GAT-USBC-PD.   You’ll know the setting isn’t right because our device won’t power on correctly, and your device won’t charge.  How frustrating!

                        It’s a simple enough fix.  You simply need to configure the ports that will power the GAT-USBC-PD to have 2 event classification.  You can find the Cisco documentation on how to do that here: CONFIGURE MY SWITCH

                        Or here are the steps you take after you’ve logged into the terminal. 

                        Switch> enable
                        Switch# configure terminal
                        Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1

                        Switch(config-if)# power inline port 2-event
                        Switch(config-if)# end

                        Microsoft Surface Go

                        There’s no configuration necessary for your Microsoft Surface products.  You can simply use the connection as an Ethernet connection on the device.

                        iPad Pro Gen 3

                        Configuring Your iPad for Wired Data

                        There are a couple easy steps for configuring your iPad to get the best results when working with wired data.

                        First, we’re going to enable USB devices to allow charging even when the iPad is “off” or the screen is locked.  

                        If you you don’t have the most up to date iOS software, take this time to update to iOS 12.2 or later.  Otherwise, it will prevent any connected device from charging or communicating with it after the screen has been locked for an hour.  Here’s how to fix that:

                        • Navigate to the Settings tab
                        • Select Face ID & Passcode
                        • Ensure the USB Accessories button is toggled to “On” meaning you see the green

                        You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer.  When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on.

                        • Go to the Settings icon on your iPad
                        • Select Display & Brightness
                        • Select Auto Lock
                        • Set the limit to Never

                         

                         

                        The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.

                        1. Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…>
                        2. Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it

                        You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information.  If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.

                        If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.  

                        The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.

                        For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.

                        Apple iPad

                        If you still have an iPad 10.2 or mini or any iPad with a lightning connector, the GAT-USBC-PD-Rev2 or R2V2 will be able to charge and send data to your iPad using our USB-C to lightning connector.

                        Below is how to set up your GAT-USBC-PD-R2V2 with your iPad.

                        Android (Samsung Tab and Google Pixel)

                        If you’re using a Samsung Tab A model year prior to 2019, you may experience some difficulties establishing the wired data connection.  Please contact service@poetexas.com if you’re experiencing compatibility issues with your Samsung device.

                         

                        Otherwise, simply confirm the data by looking for the Ethernet symbol on the upper right.  No configuration necessary.
