Product Overview

Binardat 12-Port Gigabit PoE Switch highlighting key features and port layout

Image: This image provides an overview of the Binardat 12-Port Gigabit PoE Switch, showing its 8 PoE ports, 2 RJ45 uplink ports, and 2 SFP uplink ports. Key features like full Gigabit ports, IEEE 802.3af/at support, plug and play, fanless design, port-based VLAN, fiber connectivity, and wall mount capability are highlighted.

Key Features

  • 12 Gigabit Ports: Includes 8 Gigabit PoE+ ports, 2 Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports (non-PoE), and 2 Gigabit SFP uplink ports. All ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation.
  • PoE+ Standard Compliance: Supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards, automatically detecting and providing power to compatible Power Devices (PDs).
  • High Power Budget: Features an internal 135W power supply, with a maximum of 30W output per PoE port. Output voltage range is 44-57V. Note: Does not support 24V passive PoE.
  • Unmanaged Plug and Play: No configuration required. Simply connect the power and Ethernet cables for immediate operation.
  • Extended Function (Port-based VLAN): Data traffic on PoE ports 1-8 can be isolated, communicating only with uplink ports 9-12. This reduces network overload, increases bandwidth utilization, and enhances network security.
  • Durable Design: Housed in a robust metal casing, designed for fanless and quiet operation.
  • Installation Flexibility: Supports wall mounting.
  • Advanced Protection: Includes 4KV lightning protection.

  • SFP Uplink Ports (11-12): 2 x 1Gbps SFP ports for fiber optic connections.
  • DIP Switch: Located on the left side.
    • Left Position (VLAN Mode): Enables port-based VLAN, isolating data traffic between PoE ports 1-8.
    • Right Position (Default Mode): Standard operation, all ports can communicate freely.
  • LED Indicators:
    • PWR (Power Indicator): Red when power is on.
    • PoE Ports (1-8) Link/Act: Green for 1000Mbps link/activity, Yellow for 10/100Mbps link/activity.
    • RJ45 Uplink Ports (9-10) Link/Act: Green for 1000Mbps link/activity.
    • SFP Uplink Ports (11-12) Link/Act: Green for 1000Mbps link/activity.

Setup and Installation

The Binardat 12-Port Gigabit PoE Switch is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring minimal setup.

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Placement: Choose a suitable location for the switch. Ensure it is on a stable surface or mounted securely to a wall. Maintain adequate ventilation around the device.

  2. Power Connection: Connect the provided power cable to the AC input port on the rear panel of the switch, then plug the other end into a standard AC power outlet. The PWR LED on the front panel should illuminate red.
  3. Network Device Connection:
    • For PoE Devices (e.g., IP Cameras, Wireless Access Points, IP Phones): Connect these devices to any of the 8 PoE ports (1-8) using standard Ethernet cables. The switch will automatically detect and provide power to compliant PoE devices.
    • For Non-PoE Devices (e.g., Routers, Computers, NVRs): Connect these devices to the uplink ports (9-10 RJ45 or 11-12 SFP) using standard Ethernet cables or SFP modules. These ports do not provide PoE power but transmit data.

  4. Verify Connections: Check the Link/Act LEDs for each connected port. A green LED indicates a 1000Mbps link, while a yellow LED indicates a 10/100Mbps link. Blinking LEDs indicate data activity.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

Once connected, the switch operates automatically. It is an unmanaged switch, meaning no software configuration is required. Data and power (for PoE devices) are transmitted as soon as devices are connected.

Using the DIP Switch (VLAN Mode)

The DIP switch on the front panel allows you to enable or disable the Port-based VLAN function.

  • Default Mode (DIP switch to the right): All ports (1-12) can communicate with each other. This is the standard operating mode for a typical network.
  • VLAN Mode (DIP switch to the left): When enabled, PoE ports 1-8 are isolated from each other. Each of these ports can only communicate with the uplink ports (9-12). This mode is useful for enhancing security and preventing broadcast storms in surveillance systems or large networks.

Note: It is recommended to change the DIP switch position only when the switch is powered off to avoid potential network disruptions.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked. Although fanless, proper airflow helps maintain optimal operating temperature.
  • Power Cycle: If the switch experiences unusual behavior, try power cycling it by disconnecting the power cable for a few seconds and then reconnecting it.
  • Cable Management: Keep network cables organized and free from kinks or excessive bends to ensure reliable data transmission.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No power (PWR LED off)Power cable not connected or power outlet is off.Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the switch and the power outlet. Check the power outlet with another device.
Device not receiving power from PoE port
  • Device is not PoE compatible or does not support IEEE 802.3af/at.
  • Total power budget exceeded (135W).
  • Cable issue.
  • Verify the connected device is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant.
  • Check the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices. Disconnect some devices if the budget is exceeded.
  • Try a different Ethernet cable.
No network connection (Link/Act LED off)
  • Ethernet cable not connected or faulty.
  • Connected device is off or malfunctioning.
  • Incorrect port used (e.g., non-PoE device on a PoE port in VLAN mode).
  • Ensure Ethernet cables are securely connected. Try a different cable.
  • Verify the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check the DIP switch setting. If in VLAN mode, ensure non-PoE devices are connected to uplink ports.
Network performance issues
  • Cable quality or length.
  • Network loop.
  • VLAN mode causing unexpected isolation.
  • Use high-quality Cat5e/Cat6 cables. Ensure cable lengths are within specifications.
  • Avoid creating network loops.
  • If experiencing unexpected isolation, check the DIP switch and ensure it's in the desired mode.
