Product Overview
Art-Switch PoE4 is a DIN-Rail ethernet switch.
It features ve 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports:
one for the input connection, and four outputs
that support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Art-Switch PoE4 is housed in a small robust
DIN-Rail case that can also be surface
mounted. All ethernet connections are made
via RJ45s. Each port has individual indicators
to show speed of connection, PoE use and
data activity.
Art-Switch PoE4 features auto conguration
per port, including speed, duplex and cable
type.
The PoE output on the four ports complies
with the IEEE802.3af standard. Art-Switch
PoE4 is capable of providing power and data
to four other products in the Art-Range such
as Art-Lynx O/P or Art-Relay. It can also be
used with any PoE or ethernet compatible
nodes.

Art-Switch PoE4 requires 48 VDC input
power. The connector is a pluggable 2-pin
screw terminal.
The red LED (see ‘Connections & LED
Indicators’) is on when the unit is powered.
Power & Earthing
Operation
Art-Switch PoE4 is used to connect ethernet/
Art-Net nodes together. It provides data
communication and power for up to four
devices.
All settings are factory congured. Art-Switch
PoE4 has been set up as an unmanaged
ethernet switch.
There are some settings that are congured
automatically:
Auto-Negogiate
When a new connection is made, Art-Switch
PoE4 will auto detect the speed for each port
individually. It will always default to the highest
speed.
Auto Cable Detection
There are two types of ethernet cables that
are used to connect equipment together:
patch and cross-over. Art-Switch PoE4 has
auto cable detection so either type can be
used to connect any type of ethernet device.
In some circumstances Art-Switch may need
to be connected to mains Earth. Under the
top left terminal guard there is a connection
to the cable shield that can be connected to
mains Earth.
The cable shield is referenced to logic ground
by a capacitor / resistor network as specied
in the ethernet standard.

Application Diagrams
This is a standard network conguration. Most
networks are based on this model. Art-Switch PoE4
provides power and data to each of the four nodes.
Two Art-Switch PoE4 units can be connected together with a cross-over cable to extend the
number of ports.
Example 1: Conventional (one controller, four nodes)
Example 2: Multiple Switches (no controller, eight nodes)
Example 3: Subset of a network (multi-zone installation)
In big installations there may be a central controller
that needs to get to multiple zones via standard
copper or bre mediums. Art-Switch PoE4 can be
used for local switching and power distribution while
being connected to the network backbone.

Art-Net + PoE
In this example, four di󰀨erent types of Art-Net nodes are used to convert Art-Net into DMX512.
Art-Lynx O/P is a DIN rail product, Net-Lynx O/P is surface or truss mounted, Down-Lynx is
plate mounted and Cata-Lynx O/P is rack mounted.
The Art-Switch PoE4 units distribue power (PoE) and data (Art-Net) to all the nodes excepting
Cata-Lynx O/P, which receives the data only and is powered separately by a mains connection.
