Both Ethernet ports on the OM5P-AN support POE, each in a different way. The one nearest the power connector is labeled "18-24v POE", but the bottom of the device says "PoE Input: 12-24V Passive PoE" and it definitely works with the 12 volt output of the VRM. The other connector works with the 802.3af POE standard, which uses 48 volts -- higher than what is permitted by the robot rules.
It's a shame the radio programming kiosk specifies the second port. It would have been handy to use a cheap passive power "injector" and only require teams to connect the Ethernet cable in order to make it work.
