2. Introduction
The Dante™ PoE+ Core 8 distributor offers two 10/100/1000 Mbit/s connection ports as
well as eight 10/100 Mbit/s PoE+ ports on the rear panel. The power activation for each
output is performed by dip-switches on the front panel. The available power on each port
is 30 W. The PoE budget for all ports is 230W. The Dante™ PoE+ distributor is equipped
with overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature and short-circuit protection. Several
distributors can be cascaded to create long distance connections, but no more than 100
meters between each distributor.

5. LED indicators
On the front panel of the Core 8, there are 10 LEDs that give a status on the operation of
the device:
Power SOLID GREEN Indicates that the unit is in operation
Port Link
(1 à 8)
GREEN ON indicates that the corresponding Ethernet port is
connected.
Port Uplink
(9 and 10)
GREEN ON indicates that the corresponding Ethernet Uplink
port is connected with a 1000 Mbps link.
YELLOW ON indicates that the corresponding Ethernet Uplink
port is connected with a 100 Mbps link.
PoE+
GREEN ON ON indicates that the PoE function of the
corresponding port is enabled.
NOT ON indicates that the PoE function of the
corresponding port is not enabled
6. Operation of dip-switches for Power over Ethernet (PoE) function
Ports 1 à 8 DIP ON
Per port PoE+ 30 Watts injected
Actual budget Total PoE 230 Watts
Note that dip-switches can be manipulated at any time. However, it is advisable to activate
them before connecting the cables to the PoE ports. The device will automatically power
off and on again if the total PoE consumption exceeds the available PoE budget. If this
happens, it is advisable to turn off a PoE port.
