Operating Instructions

The BV-Tech POE-SW802-DIN is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates on a plug-and-play basis without requiring complex software configuration. Once powered on and connected, it automatically detects and provides network connectivity and power to connected devices.

LED Indicators:

• PWR (Power): Illuminates green when the switch is receiving power.
• Link/Act (Link/Activity):
  • Solid green: Indicates a stable network link.
  • Flashing green: Indicates data activity on the port.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Environment: Ensure the switch is operated within its specified temperature range (-40°C to 65°C) and humidity levels. Avoid exposing the device to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Firmware: As an unmanaged switch, firmware updates are generally not required.

Troubleshooting

• No Power (PWR LED off):
  • Check if the power cord is securely connected to the switch and the electrical outlet.
  • Verify the power adapter is functioning correctly.
  • Ensure the electrical outlet is active.
• No Link/Activity (Link/Act LED off):
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the switch port and the connected device.
  • Verify the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Try a different Ethernet cable or switch port to rule out cable or port issues.
• PoE Device Not Receiving Power:
  • Confirm the connected device is PoE-compatible (IEEE802.3af/at).
  • Check the power requirements of the device to ensure it does not exceed the 30W per port limit or the total power budget of the switch.
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable is of good quality and supports PoE.
