| + | |||
| + | ==== USB ==== | ||
| + | The middle pin of J3 are connected to D+ and D-. The outer pin on the RJ45 side is GND then D+ then D-. There is no VCC on the last pin. There are two pins near the USB connector: the pin towards the LEDs is 5V the other is GND. | ||

| + | ==== POE ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Due to the fact the SP2 SP1 CT2 CT1 pin holes are exposed there might be a chance to use a Si3402 to provide "real POE" instead of the passive POE implemented already. | ||
