Hi, Is this shield compatible with Arduino/Genuino 101?

Hi, running 1.7.6 is probably going to be a necessity, but both 1.7.6 and 1.6.5 are currently the latest versions. One is provided by Arduino.org, the other by Arduino.cc and have different features. Because this shield is made by Arduino.org you will need their version to get the example code. It is not so much that Arduino.cc is behind the times, but that Arduino.cc and Arduino.org are currently working against each other instead of with (which is unfortunate for you the customer).

If you’re having trouble getting this to work, make sure you’re using the Ethernet2 library, which ships with Arduino IDE 1.7.6. You’ll find the example code in the Examples menu and it should work right out of the box.

Newest versions are at: http://www.arduino.org/software . Arduino.cc is behind the times, offering 1.6.5 at the time of this writing.

This requires the Arduino.org IDE and libraries (see the as of yet unresolved issues with Arduino.cc and Arduino.org). Additionally, the webserver example stops responding after a while. I recommend finding a different Ethernet solution for your Arduino project at this point.

Well, after the research below I found that I should have looked closer to home, From the product description above: “The Ethernet Shield 2 has a standard RJ-45 connection, with an integrated line transformer and Power over Ethernet enabled.” So this must be the A000025 flavor.

If I’m reading Arduino’s product page correctly the answer is “It depends”. There seem to be two flavors of this shield: A000024 - Without PoE A000025 - With PoE

The problem is that I cannot find which version this is anywhere on this page. A quick search showed that the PoE version is available a few places, but I’d like to know if this is one of them before being forced elsewhere.

Hi, I am a bit confuse, is this shield POE or not POE? does it need something else to be complete, as mention by user jpbot, or is it POE as it comes?

So to ask the obvious but unasked question, since the specs of the wiznet 5200 and 5500 chips (and therefore the shields based on them) are so similar, is there a burning reason to switch to the 5500-based shield? Is the 5200 chip or 5200-based shield going obsolete? I make a product built around an Arduino Ethernet board; does the 5500 shield do something better/cheaper/faster/more reliably (notwithstanding the issue of Mega reset compatibility – I’m using Unos)?

It would be nice because they aren’t stocked with the usual guys (Mouser and DigiKey), semiconductorstore.com will is where I picked them up in the past for quite a bit less than the hobby/maker places that do bother to try selling them from time to time. Sadly it looks like they’re not in stock at the moment but you can order them and I’m sure a nice person will call you to advise you on the delay.

never mind.

Yes, but nowhere on either Arduino.cc or Arduino.org (that I can find) is there any information on how to actually procure one of those modules.

I’ll repeat my request here from the new-product page. Would SparkFun be able to stock the module that the Arduino ethernet shields and boards are designed to use?

You need the SilverTel PoE module to complete it. It should be AG9120S, at least that’s what the old Arduino Ethernet and Ethernet Shield used.

Yes it is, and it will power an uno. There’s a bit more info on the copy over at the product page for the board http://www.arduino.org/products/arduino-ethernet-shield-2

It barely mentions PoE. Is that really available and will it power a UNO?
