Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is an evolving technology designed to
deliver power and transmit data on an Ethernet cable at the same
time. Modeling after the technology used in telecommunication
systems which supplies power to telephones, PoE powers network
device without the need of AC electrical outlets. By eliminating the
power cords and the power infrastructure, the technology greatly
simplifies the wiring and deployment matters and brings lots of
convenience and benefits in home, office, and industrial
environments.

Purpose
This Quick Installation Guide tells you how to install your Switch and
how to connect it to your Ethernet network.
Terms/Usage
In this manual, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your
8-Port 10/100Mbps Switch with 4-Port PoE, and “switch” (first letter
lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches.

1.2.1 Front Panel
The picture below depicts the front panel of the PoE Switch:
Figure 1-1 Front Panel view of the Switch
•PoE Ports (Port 1~4)
These ports are 802.3af PoE enabled ports, the PoE port will
automatically activate when a compatible terminal is identified. The
PoE switch will distribute power through the Ethernet ports to the
connected PoE device. For devices that are not compatible, the
PoE port will not supply the power to this device. This feature
allows user’s to freely and safely utilize the 802.3af PoE for Power
over Lan devices on their network.
•Ethernet Ports (Port 5~8)
These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps,
and can operate in half and full-duplex transfer modes. These ports
also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection, which give
the PoE switch “plug and play” capabilities. Just simply connect
any network cable between the PoE switch and the device and it will
automatically detect the settings of the device and adjust itself

accordingly
•LED Indicators
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and
the network (see Section 1.2.3).

The site where you place the switch may greatly affect its performance.
When installing, take the following into your consideration.
2.1 Installation
The setup of the switch can be performed using the following steps:
2. Installing the Switch

6
•Visually inspect the DC jack and make sure that is fully secured
to the power adapter
•Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate
ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the
Switch.
2.2 Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the Switch on the desktop or shelf, please attach the
rubber feet to the Switch. Peel off the protective paper on the pads and
attach them on the bottom of the Switch (one at each corner).
This section describes how to connect the Switch to your network.
3.1 Connection
The Switch supports 8 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and Port 1 ~ Port
4 are PoE Enabled ports. These PoE port will automatically activate
when a compatible terminal is identified. The Switch will supply
power through the Ethernet port to the connected PoE powered
device (PD). For legacy devices that are not compatible, the PoE
port will not offer power to this device. This feature allows users to
freely and safely mix legacy and PoE devices on their network.
The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
and it runs both in half and full duplex mode using two pair of
Category 5 cable. These RJ45 ports are Auto-MDI type port. The
Switch can auto negotiate the MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can
connect any RJ-45 cable regardless if it is a standard or crossover
cable.
