MCU001 keyboard connection to MFDBB

​The BB keyboard is an Ethernet network device that is powered directly from the MFDBB via the Ethernet cable.  This is NOT true Power-Over-Ethernet (POE).  Standard POE Devices may NOT be directly connected or powered by the internal hub in the MFDBB. Direct connection of the BB keyboard to the MFDBB allows an easy single standard Ethernet cable connection to the MFDBB keyboard.  The MFDBB processor unit (MPU001) contains 4 Ethernet ports.  Two of these ports provide special power and are dedicated ONLY for MFDBB keyboard connections.  MFDBB keyboards must be directly connected to one of the dedicated Ethernet ports on the MFDBB (the keyboard cannot be connected to a switch).  Note that the supplied Ethernet cable is 5M but other lengths are available.
