4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Digitus DN-95117 PoE+ Injector:
- Unpack the Device: Carefully remove the PoE+ injector and all accessories from the packaging.
- Choose a Location: Select a stable, well-ventilated location for the injector. Ensure it is away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. The device can be rack-mounted using the included accessories or placed on a flat surface.
- Connect Data Input: Connect your non-PoE network switch or router to the 24 data input ports on the front panel using standard Ethernet cables.
- Connect PoE Output: Connect your PoE-enabled devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones) to the 24 data+PoE output ports on the front panel using Ethernet cables. These cables will carry both data and power to your devices.
- Connect Power: Connect the provided power cable to the power input socket on the rear panel of the injector, then plug the other end into a standard AC power outlet (100VAC ~ 240VAC).
- Power On: Flip the power switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The device will power on, and indicator lights on the front panel will illuminate to show status.
- Verify Connection: Check the status indicators for each connected port to ensure proper data and PoE connectivity to your devices.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the Digitus DN-95117 is set up, its operation is largely automatic. The device functions as a transparent data and power injector.
- Automatic PoE Detection: The injector automatically detects if a connected device is PoE-compatible and provides the appropriate power (IEEE802.3af or IEEE802.3at).
- Data Transmission: Data is passed through the injector at Gigabit speeds (10/100/1000Mbps/2.5/10G) without modification.
- Status Indicators: Observe the LED indicators on the front panel for each port. These indicators typically show link status, activity, and PoE power status. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for specific LED behavior.
- Power Budget Management: The injector manages the total 370W power budget. If the total power demand from connected devices exceeds this budget, the injector may prioritize power delivery or shut down power to lower-priority ports. Ensure your total power consumption does not exceed 370W.

- Check all Ethernet cable connections between the source device, the injector's input ports, and the destination device.
- Ensure the Ethernet cables are not damaged and are correctly terminated.
- Verify the network devices connected to the injector are functioning correctly.
- No PoE Power to Device:
- Confirm the connected device is PoE-compatible (IEEE802.3af or IEEE802.3at).
- Check the PoE status LED for the specific port on the injector.
- Ensure the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the 370W budget. Disconnect some devices if necessary to test.
- Try a different Ethernet cable.
- Slow Network Speed:
- Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
- Check for network congestion or issues with other network components.
