4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Connecting the Switch
- Connect the power cord to the switch's AC IN port and then to a power outlet. The power LED will illuminate.
- Connect your network router or main network device to any of the switch's Gigabit PoE ports using a standard Ethernet cable.
- Connect your PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones) to the remaining PoE ports. The switch will automatically detect and supply power to these devices.
- Connect non-PoE devices (e.g., computers, NVRs) to any available port. The switch will provide data connectivity without power.
4.2 Mounting Options
The switch offers flexible installation options:
- Desktop Placement: Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
- Wall Mount: Use the provided mounting ears to secure the switch to a wall. Align the holes on the back of the switch with nails or screws on the wall.
- Rack Mount: Attach the two mounting ears included in the package to the sides of the switch to support 19-inch rack installation.
5. Operating Instructions
The YuanLey 8 Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch is an unmanaged device, meaning it requires no software configuration. Once connected, it operates automatically.
- Power Indicator: A green LED light indicates that the switch is powered on.
- Link/Act Indicators: Each port has an LED indicator. A solid green light indicates a stable network link, and a blinking light indicates data activity.
- PoE Functionality: The switch automatically detects and provides power to IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices connected to its ports. Non-PoE devices will receive data only.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the switch. Do not block the ventilation holes. The fanless design relies on natural convection for cooling.
- Environment: Operate the switch within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cable Management: Keep network cables organized to prevent damage and maintain proper airflow.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your YuanLey 8 Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check the power LED on the switch.
- No Link/Activity: Verify that Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch and the connected devices. Check the Link/Act LED for the specific port. Try a different cable or port.
- PoE Device Not Powering On: Confirm that your device is PoE-compatible (IEEE 802.3af/at). Check the power requirements of your device and ensure the total power budget of the switch (120W) is not exceeded. Try connecting the device to a different PoE port.
- Slow Network Speed: Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps). Check for damaged cables or excessive cable length.
- Intermittent Connection: Check for loose cable connections. Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area and not overheating.
