Configuring Your Cisco Enterprise POE Switch for 2 Event PoE Classification
Yeah, I know that’s a mouthful. Here’s the simple translation. Cisco enterprise switches including the 9400 and 9300 models, which is a lot of them, come with a default setting that makes them less compatible PoE+ devices like the GBT-USBC-PD. You’ll know the setting isn’t right because our device won’t power on correctly, and your device won’t charge. How frustrating!
It’s a simple enough fix. You simply need to configure the ports that will power the GBT-USBC-PD to have 2 event classification. You can find the Cisco documentation on how to do that here: CONFIGURE MY SWITCH
Or here are the steps you take after you’ve logged into the terminal.
Switch> enable Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1
Switch(config-if)# power inline port 2-event Switch(config-if)# end
You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer. When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on.
Go to the Settings icon on your iPad Select Display & Brightness Select Auto Lock Set the limit to Never
The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.
1. Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…> 2. Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it
You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information. If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.
If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.
The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.
For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.
Best Practices for iOS Updates
Despite Apple’s excellent reputation for ensuring backward compatibility with their iPads and iPhones, practical experience with a recent iOS update has revealed that even they can miss things which can temporarily lead to disruption of service for your device. If your device must be reliable 24/7, we recommend these following best practices:
Go to Settings -> General -> Software Updates -> Automatic Updates Deselect “Install iPadOS Updates” Before choosing to install the next update, please check into our iOS Compatibility Table to check whether we have finished testing the performance of an new iPadOS version

If you’re using a Samsung Tab A model year prior to 2019, you may experience some difficulties establishing the wired data connection. Please contact service@poetexas.com if you’re experiencing compatibility issues with your Samsung device.
Otherwise, simply confirm the data by looking for the Ethernet symbol on the upper right. No configuration necessary.
