Hi
I have just completed setting up a new RUTX50 which is installed in an external enclosure.
I am using LAN1 port for power using passive PoE at 24volts.
I am having an issue where the router will just not power up using this setup.
PSU and PoE injector are from another similar router that works fine.
Anyone else had issues powering 5G RUTX50 over Lan port1.
Any help welcome

Hi.
Did you check about PoE at this URL?
https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTX50_Powering_Options
The potential max power consumption of a RUTX50 can vary. see https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTX50_Power_Consumption … is your PoE injector man enough for the job?
Ideally you’d want a Passive PoE injector that can deliver at least 18W.
I have sucessfully powered via LAN1 using an Active to Passive PoE converter.

Thanks for your response.
I did check this out and I do have a small fleet of Teltonika routers deployed on construction sites, setup in this way.
I think I might have found the reason for this issue in that the router I have is an RUTC50 not an RTUX50 and it appears that only later batches of these routers are capable of being powered via LAN1 port.
I am currently looking at getting the unit exchanged for either a later version that can be powered in the way I need or replaced with an RUTX50.
Lesson learned here read the data sheet carefully before purchase but I do think this should be made clearer in the user manual as this is a key benefit of using teltonika routers and if it is not available on specific models it should be made very clear to avoid disapointment and potential damage to an expensive router.

Thanks for your input.
I use a separate passive PoE injector and feed this via a good quality PSU via a barrel jack.
In this case it was a 24V 10W supply which I think should be well up to booting the router under no load.
It appears the model I have RUTC50 may not have the ability to be powered via the Lan1 port in earlier versions and I don’t want to chance feeding power into a port that is not setup to take PoE as I ceratinly don’t want to fry a costly router like this.
