1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Reidubo 10-Port 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Switch. This unmanaged network switch is designed to provide reliable data and power transmission for various network devices, including PoE security cameras, access points, and IP phones.
2. Product Overview
The Reidubo 10-Port Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Switch features 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE+) ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports. It supports a total PoE power output of 120W, with a maximum of 30W per port, compliant with 802.3af/at standards. The 2 Gigabit uplink ports facilitate connections to Network Video Recorders (NVRs), other switches, routers, and Wi-Fi devices.

The switch incorporates a built-in power supply, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. It also features 4KV lightning protection, ensuring stable operation even in adverse weather conditions. Each PoE port intelligently detects the power requirements of connected devices, providing 15.4W for normal operation and up to 30W maximum output.

3. Setup
The Reidubo Gigabit PoE Ethernet Switch is an unmanaged, plug-and-play device, requiring no software installation or complex configuration. Simply connect the power cord and your network cables to begin operation.
3.1 Initial Connection
- Connect the provided power cord to the switch and a power outlet.
- Connect your router or main network device to one of the 2 Gigabit uplink ports using a standard Ethernet cable.
- Connect your PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones) to the 8 PoE ports using Ethernet cables.
- For non-PoE devices (e.g., computers, NVRs), connect them to the uplink ports or other available ports on your network.

4. Operating Modes
The switch supports two primary operating modes: Standard Mode and VLAN Mode.
4.1 Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, all PoE ports can communicate freely with each other and with the uplink ports. This mode is suitable for general data transmission where all connected devices need to interact.
4.2 VLAN Mode
In VLAN Mode, the PoE ports are isolated from each other, meaning devices connected to different PoE ports cannot directly communicate. However, all PoE ports can still communicate with the Gigabit uplink ports. This mode is beneficial for improving local network data transmission performance and reducing network broadcast storms, especially when running multiple security cameras or other devices that need to be segmented but still access the main network.
