Unmanaged Plug & Play

This is an unmanaged switch, meaning no configuration is required. Simply plug in your devices, and it will automatically detect and connect both PoE and non-PoE devices such as PoE cameras, wireless access points (APs), computers, NVRs, and routers.

One-Key VLAN

When VLAN mode is enabled, all PoE ports (1-4) are isolated from each other but can communicate with the uplink port. This feature enhances network security by segmenting traffic.

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Unpack the Switch

Carefully remove the PoE switch and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.

Step 2: Connect Power

Connect the provided AC power cable to the power input on the rear of the switch and then to a standard electrical outlet. The power LED indicator should illuminate.

Step 3: Connect Network Devices

Connect your PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones) to any of the 4 PoE+ ports (ports 1-4) using standard Ethernet cables.

Connect your non-PoE devices (e.g., computer, NVR, router) to the uplink port (port 5) or any other available PoE+ port if not powering a PoE device.

Step 4: Optional: Enable VLAN Mode

If network segmentation is desired, locate the VLAN switch on the device and toggle it to the "VLAN" position. This will isolate traffic between PoE ports 1-4, enhancing security.

Operating Instructions

Power On

Once connected to power, the switch will automatically power on. The Power LED will indicate its operational status.

Link/Act Indicators

Each port has LED indicators. A green light indicates a successful network link and activity. A yellow light indicates PoE power is being supplied.

Data Transfer

The switch operates automatically to facilitate data transfer between connected devices at Gigabit speeds.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Ventilation

Ensure that the cooling vents on the sides of the switch are not obstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation.

Environmental Conditions

Operate the switch within the specified temperature range (0°C to 55°C) and humidity levels to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

No Power

Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the switch and the electrical outlet. Verify the outlet is functional.

No Link/Activity

Ensure Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch port and the device. Try a different cable or port. Verify the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.

PoE Device Not Powering On

Confirm the device is PoE-compatible (IEEE 802.3af/at). Check the PoE LED indicator for the port; if it's not lit, the device might not be drawing power or there might be an issue with the cable. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the switch's 78W budget.

Slow Network Speed

Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet for optimal performance. Check for network congestion or faulty cables.

VLAN Isolation Issues

If devices on PoE ports 1-4 cannot communicate with each other, verify the VLAN switch is in the "VLAN" position. If they cannot communicate with the uplink, ensure the uplink port is correctly connected.
