Power-Over-Ethernet Module
The POE module is a custom design by ThingMagic. It is based on the WIZnet W5500
Ethernet controller chip with its integrated PHY, MAC and TCP engines (including TX/RX
buffers.) It interfaces to the xPRESS motherboard via SPI, via the WIZnet-provided open-
source reference drivers.
Installation
Install the Ethernet module into slot 1 (the right-hand slot as you look at the board edge).
Note
The PoE module works with Slot-1 only, as shown in the photograph above.
If necessary, enable PoE by un-commenting
#define ENABLE_OUTPUT_POE (this is the
default)
The IP address and port number can be found in the console output when the module first
initializes. Here is an example of the output:
