With external dc power, use a supply less than 12V, 9V is preferable and connect the positive to the screw terminal closest to the Magjack and the 0V to the next terminal along.

If you want to use 12V or higher, you will need to fit a sutabbly sized heatsink to the tag of the 7805 regulator. The Voltage range for the regulator is 7V to 35V, but in the interests of power efficiency and overheating we do not recommend more than 12V dc.
