PoE switch and Compact Fieldpoint

[Jaime Rodriguez]

Hello all... Is it possible to connect my Compact Field Point Controller to a PoE switch (Power over Ethernet Switch)??? This is because some other devices on the same subnet require PoE (IP cameras) and I wanted to know if this can cause some sort of problem with my Cfp... Should I connect the Compact Fieldpoint to a regular switch and connect that switch to the PoE switch??

Let me know any suggestions...

Thanks a million in advance,

[Jaime Rodriguez]

Any ideas....

Hi Jaime!

Currently there are only certain products that support the PoE standard, unfortunately the cFP family is not one of them. The best you can do is connect your cFP to a switch and then to the PoE switch like you said and check if that works. Here is the document where the PoE and NI products are described:

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!!!
