4.1. Port Description
- PoE IN (Port 4): Connects to your main PoE switch or injector. This port receives both power and data.
- PoE OUT (Ports 1, 2, 3): Connects to your PoE-powered devices (PDs) such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points. These ports supply power and data to the connected devices.
- DIP Switch: Located near Port 1, this switch controls the VLAN mode.
5. Setup
5.1. Physical Installation
The device is designed for wall mounting. Use the provided mounting accessories to secure the switch in a desired location. Ensure the location is suitable for outdoor use, considering its IP55 waterproof rating.

5.2. Network Connection
- Connect PoE Source: Connect an Ethernet cable from your main PoE switch or PoE injector to the PoE IN (Port 4) of the Binardat switch. Ensure your PoE source is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant (44-57 Vdc).
- Connect PoE Devices: Connect Ethernet cables from the PoE OUT (Ports 1, 2, 3) to your PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras).

5.3. VLAN Configuration (DIP Switch)
The Binardat switch supports port-based VLAN mode, controlled by a DIP switch. When VLAN mode is enabled, ports 1-3 are isolated from each other, preventing broadcast storms between connected devices. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to segment traffic for security or performance reasons.
- OFF (Default): All ports operate as a standard switch, allowing communication between all connected devices.
- ON: Ports 1, 2, and 3 are isolated from each other. Each port can only communicate with the PoE IN port (Port 4).

6. Operating
6.1. Powering On
Once the PoE IN port is connected to a compliant PoE source, the switch will automatically power on. No additional power adapter is required.
6.2. LED Indicators
The switch features LED indicators for each port, displaying the connection status and activity. Refer to the device for specific LED behavior (e.g., solid green for link, flashing for activity).
6.3. Cascading Multiple Units
The Binardat PoE Passthrough Switch supports cascading up to 3 levels, extending PoE coverage over longer distances (up to 300m or 1000ft total). To cascade, connect a PoE OUT port of one extender to the PoE IN port of the next extender.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect cable connections for wear or damage, especially in outdoor environments. Ensure the protective cover for the ports is securely closed.
- Environmental: While designed for outdoor use, avoid direct exposure to prolonged heavy rain or snow if possible, to maximize device lifespan.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Power to Devices:
- Ensure the PoE source connected to the PoE IN port is active and providing power.
- Verify the PoE source is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant (44-57 Vdc). This device does not support 24V passive PoE.
- Check all Ethernet cable connections for proper seating and integrity.
- Ensure the total power draw of connected PoE devices does not exceed the switch's output capacity (Max 24W total, average 8W per port).
- No Data Connection:
- Check the Ethernet cables for damage.
- Verify the connected devices are functioning correctly.
- If VLAN mode is enabled, ensure your network configuration accounts for port isolation.
- Intermittent Connection:
- Inspect outdoor cable runs for environmental damage or loose connections.
- Ensure the protective cover is fully closed to prevent moisture ingress.
