WASP-PoE is a bridge for Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE (formally Bluetooth® Smart) and/or ANT+ devices
to communicate through a wired Ethernet network to any designed device connected to the same network.
Powered either by the voltage on the Ethernet cable (PoE support) or auxiliary 36-72V DC input. Integrating
an 8-channel BLE/ANT+ receiver with Ethernet circuitry, WASP-PoE provides a data gateway for monitoring,
recording and analyzing BLE/ANT+ data in designated network locations with lower overhead than the
standalone WASP. WASP-PoE receives data from connected BLE/ANT+ devices and forwards the data
through the Ethernet network to the end points on the Ethernet network. The WASP-PoE Application
Programmers Interface is exactly the same as for WASP, which is an open API that is used by developers
to integrate WASP-PoE into BLE/ANT+ sensor monitoring and control applications. WASP-PoE IS FOR
USE IN OFFICE ENVIRONMENT.

Network Requirements
To use the WASP-PoE in your Ethernet network requires the network to meet the following requirements.
1. The Ethernet network must support 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s communication speeds.
2. The Ethernet network must be connected to a DHCP server that manages the network addressing.

WASP-PoE Hardware
The WASP-PoE connects to an Ethernet network and operates at either 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s, the Ethernet
communication speed is auto-selected according to the network type. The picture below shows the WASP-
PoE indicator locations and a key describing the functions of each of the LED indicators.

WASP-PoE Ethernet LEDs
The Ethernet indicator LEDs are green, and the operation is defined below.
G1 = Ethernet Link Good
G2 = Ethernet Link Speed (ON=100Mb/s OFF=10Mb/s)
G3 = Ethernet Link Activity
G4 = Power Indicator
WASP-PoE Status LEDs
Two LEDs indicate the operational status of the WASP-PoE. The left-side LED is orange and the right-side LED is
red. The operation of each of them is defined as:
WASP-PoE_QSG-15
WASP-PoE QUICK START GUIDE
WASP-PoE Bridge
The Red LED indicates radio reception is
working. It will toggle with each packet
received. The Orange LED should be
toggling once a second indicating the PoE
has properly acquired an IP address from
the DHCP server on the network. If the
both LEDs are out, it most likely means
the PoE has not received an IP address
from the DHCP server. In that case the
health of the network should be checked.
