4 Connect to the Data Ports
The switch is equipped with sixteen 10/100 Mbps
RJ-45 port that provide IEEE802.3at Power over
Ethernet (PoE), with up to 30 Watts per port (50
- 57VDC, 600mA Max.) These ports can be
connected to PoE devices such as IP surveillance
cameras or Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
phones.
A. Insert one end of a Category 5 or better
Ethernet cable into a switch port.
B. Connect the other end into the Ethernet port
of the device.
C. Repeat steps A and B for each additional

brief Power On Self-Test (POST).
6 Configure the Switch
After the switch passes its POST, perform a basic
configuration of the switch.
A. Connect an available 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
switch port to a PC using a Category 5 or
better Ethernet cable.
B. Confirm that the Link/ACT LED for the switch
port to which the PC is connected is ON.
C. Configure the PC’s TCP/IP settings to use the
subnet 192.168.2.2.
D. In a Web browser, type http://192.168.2.1
