LED Explanation

Power

On: Power on

PoE MAX

DS105GP/DS108GP
On: 58 W ≤ Total power supply < 65 W Flashing: Total power supply ≥ 65 W Off: Total power supply < 58W
DS106GPP
On: 57 W ≤ Total power supply < 64 W Flashing: Total power supply ≥ 64 W Off: Total power supply < 57W

Link/Act and PoE Status

On (Green): Connected to a 1000 Mbps device
On (Yellow): Connected to a 10/100 Mbps device
Flashing: Transmitting/receiving data Off: No device is connected to the corresponding port.
On: Providing PoE power
Flashing: Current-overload/Short-circuit Off Not providing PoE power

Switches Explanation
Note: The port numbers in brackets indicate the ports where the feature takes effect. For example, when Extend (Port 1-2) is toggled to On, the Extend mode will be enabled for ports 1-2.

Extend:

Off: The corresponding ports run at 10/100/1000 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 100 m away.
On: The corresponding ports run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250 m away.

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.

Note: For simplicity, we will take DS105GP for example throughout this Guide.

Connection

Note:

PoE ports can also connect to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.
DS105GP/DS108GP can supply up to 30 W for each PoE port and 65 W for all PoE ports.
DS106GPP can supply up to 60 W for port 1, 30W for other single PoE port, and 64 W for all PoE ports.

FAQ

Q1. 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 try the following:

Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the switch with power source properly.
Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the input voltage of the switch.
Make sure the power source is on.

Q2. Why is the Link/Act LED not lit while a device is connected to the corresponding port?
It is recommended that you check the following items:

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 works normally.
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 higher priority. The system will cut off power to the ports with larger port numbers to ensure supplying to other ports. Take DS105GP as an example. If port 1, 2 and 4 are consuming 15.4 W respectively, and an additional PoE device with 19 W is connected to port 3, the system will cut off the power of port 4 to compensate for the overload.

Q4. What should I notice before using the PoE Auto Recovery feature?

Before upgrading a connected PoE powered device (PD), disable PoE Auto Recovery to avoid the PD’s damage.

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.
