The image above displays the technical drawing of the DIGITUS DN-650107 Industrial PoE Switch, detailing its dimensions. The front view shows four RJ45 PoE ports and one uplink port. The top view indicates a width of 118 mm and a depth of 92.4 mm. The side view shows a height of 40 mm. The bottom view shows a width of 117.7 mm. The overall dimensions are approximately 118mm (W) x 92.4mm (D) x 40mm (H).

Installation

DIN Rail Mounting

1. Ensure the power supply to the DIN rail is disconnected before installation.
2. Locate the integrated clamp on the rear of the switch.
3. Hook the top edge of the clamp onto the DIN rail.
4. Press the bottom of the switch firmly against the DIN rail until the clamp snaps into place, securing the device.
5. Verify that the switch is securely attached to the DIN rail.

Connection

Power Supply Connection

The switch utilizes a terminal connector for its power supply, designed for redundancy and protection against electrical anomalies.

1. Connect the appropriate power cables to the terminal block on the switch.
2. Ensure correct polarity for the power input.
3. Secure the connections firmly to prevent accidental disconnections.
4. Once all network connections are made, connect the power supply to an appropriate power source.

Network Port Connection

The switch features 4 PoE-enabled RJ45 ports and 1 uplink RJ45 port.

• PoE Ports (Ports 1-4): Connect PoE-compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points to these ports. These ports provide both data and power over a single Ethernet cable.
• Uplink Port (Port 5): Connect this port to your main network infrastructure, such as a router, another switch, or a server, to provide network access to the connected PoE devices.
• Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) for all connections.

Operation

The DIGITUS DN-650107 is an unmanaged switch, offering simple plug-and-play operation without requiring complex configuration. Once powered on and connected, the switch automatically detects connected devices and establishes network links.

• Power On: After connecting the power supply, the switch will power on automatically.
• LED Indicators: Observe the LED indicators on the front panel for status information. Typically, a solid green LED indicates a stable link, while a blinking LED indicates data activity. PoE status LEDs will indicate power delivery to connected devices.
• Automatic Functions: The switch automatically handles speed, duplex mode, and MDI/MDI-X crossover for connected devices.

Technical Specifications

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your DIGITUS Industrial PoE Switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the switch's ventilation openings are not obstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation. Although fanless, good airflow is beneficial.
• Cable Management: Keep network and power cables neatly organized to prevent strain on ports and accidental disconnections.
• Environmental Conditions: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DIGITUS Industrial PoE Switch, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Verify that the power supply is correctly connected to the terminal block and that the power source is active. Check for any blown fuses in the power circuit.
• No Link/Connectivity:
  • Ensure Ethernet cables are securely plugged into both the switch and the connected device.
  • Check the status of the link/activity LEDs on the switch for the respective port.
  • Test with a different Ethernet cable.
  • Verify that the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• PoE Device Not Powering On:
  • Confirm that the device connected is PoE-compatible and meets the IEEE802.3af/at standards.
  • Check the PoE status LED for the port.
  • Ensure the total power budget of the switch is not exceeded by all connected PoE devices.
• Slow Network Speed:
  • Ensure all connected devices and cables support Fast Ethernet speeds.
  • Check for excessive network traffic or loops (though unmanaged switches typically handle basic loop prevention).

Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent damage to the device or injury to yourself:

• Do not open the device casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Ensure proper grounding for the power supply.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight beyond its specified operating conditions.
• Disconnect power before performing any installation or maintenance.
• Use only approved power adapters and cables.
