This is the part that confuses me. If powering with a Netonix, there is no setting for 'add a ground on 3&6', yet somehow it works and maintains a gigabit connection when powering these devices. Perhaps they found that they could ground 3&6 on legacy devices as well and it would still work fine? Netonix will also power M-series devices fine, which did not add these pins in play. Perhaps someone else can explain how this is working. Chris??
