Switch Explanation
Recovery:
- Off: The PoE Auto Recovery function is disabled.
- On: The switch will constantly detect the working status of a PoE powered device (PD). When the switch finds that the PD works abnormally, the switch will reboot it.
Isolation:
- Off: Ports can transmit data to each other.
- On: Ports 1-4 cannot transmit data with each other. They can transmit data only with the uplink ports (ports 5-6).
Extend:
- Off: Ports run at 100/10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 100m away.
- On: Ports run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250m away.
Connection
- Power Adapter
- Ethernet Ports (1-6)
- PoE Ports (1-4)
- Powered Device (PD) examples:
- IP Camera
- AP (Access Point)
- IP Phone
- Internet
- PC
Notes:
- PoE ports can also connect to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.
- Non-PoE ports (ports 5-6) are recommended to connect to uplink devices like routers.
- Ports 1-2 have higher priority than other ports in transmitting data if network congestion occurs. It is recommended to connect key network devices (network cameras, APs, etc.) to ports 1-2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q 1. Why is the Power LED not lit?
The Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the Power LED is not lit, please check as follows:* A1: Make sure the AC power cord/power adapter is connected to the switch with the power source properly.*A2: Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the input voltage of the switch.* A3: Make sure the power source is on.
Q2. Why is the Link/Act LED not lit when a device is connected to the corresponding port?
It is recommended that you check the following items*A1: Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device.*A2: Make sure the connected device is turned on and working well. *A3: The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet). If Extend Mode is enabled, it should be less than 250 meters (820 feet).
Q3. Why are PoE ports not supplying power for PoE devices?
When the total power consumption of connected PoE devices exceeds the maximum, the PoE port with a smaller port number has a higher priority. The system will cut off power to the ports with larger port numbers to ensure supplying to other ports. For example, if ports 1,2, and 4 are consuming 10 W respectively, and an additional PoE device with 15 W is inserted into port 3, the system will cut off the power to port 4 to compensate for the overload.
Q4. What should I notice before using the PoE Auto Recovery feature?
*A1: Before upgrading a connected PoE-powered device (PD), disable PoE Auto Recovery to avoid the PD’s damage.*A2: When a PD does not send data packets to the switch for a long period in certain scenarios (e.g., an IPC in sleep mode), disable PoE Auto Recovery to avoid the PD repeatedly rebooting.
