I have to agree. You appear to have a device which can supply power to
48 RJ-45 connectors on the front panel? Which probably maps to 48
ports of a Ethernet switch. How do i use these properties described
here to say that eth42 connects to port 42 of the PSE?

It would be good to explain what Port A and B are. It might be obvious
to somebody who knows PSE, but i have no idea...
