Digitus DN95330 Gigabit PoE Switch User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Digitus DN95330 Gigabit PoE Switch. This network switch offers an integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution, providing an optimal, economical, and rapid connection for small and medium-sized business networks.

The device allows for network expansion even in locations where electrical lines or outlets are not readily available. It significantly improves network performance and efficiency by utilizing a single network cable for both power supply and data transfer, thanks to its PoE support.

2. Safety Information

• Ensure the power supply voltage matches the requirements specified for the device.
• Do not expose the device to water, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
• Avoid blocking ventilation openings to prevent overheating.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Connect the grounding screw when using the switch to ensure proper electrical safety.

The front panel features the following:

• PWR LED: Indicates power status.
• PoE LEDs (1-4): Indicate PoE status for ports 1-4.
• LINK/ACT LEDs (1-5): Indicate network link and activity for each port.
• PoE GIGABIT Ports (1-4): Four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.
• UPLINK Port (5): One 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 uplink port without PoE.

Rear Panel

5. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Digitus DN95330 Gigabit PoE Switch:

1. Placement: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface or mount it in a suitable location. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
2. Grounding: Important: Connect a ground wire to the grounding screw on the rear panel of the switch. This is crucial for electrical safety.
3. Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapter to the power input port on the rear of the switch, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The PWR LED on the front panel should illuminate.
4. Network Device Connection:
   • For PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points), connect them to any of the PoE Gigabit ports (1-4) using standard Ethernet cables. The corresponding PoE LED and LINK/ACT LED will light up.
   • For non-PoE network devices (e.g., router, NVR, PC), connect them to the UPLINK port (5) or any of the PoE Gigabit ports (1-4) if PoE is not required for that device. The LINK/ACT LED for the connected port will light up.

5. Verification: Once all connections are made, observe the LEDs on the front panel. Solid LINK/ACT LEDs indicate a successful connection, and solid PoE LEDs indicate power delivery to PoE devices.

6. Operating

The Digitus DN95330 is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring complex configuration. Once connected, it facilitates data transfer and power delivery (for PoE ports) to connected devices.

• Data Transfer: The switch automatically detects the speed and duplex mode of connected devices (10/100/1000 Mbps) and adjusts accordingly.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): Ports 1-4 automatically detect and provide power to IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE devices. If a non-PoE device is connected to a PoE port, the switch will only provide data connectivity without power.
• Uplink Port: Port 5 serves as a dedicated uplink, typically used to connect to a router, modem, or another switch, expanding your network.

7. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation holes are clear of dust and obstructions.
• Environment: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Cable Management: Keep network cables organized and free from kinks or excessive bending to prevent signal degradation.
