1. Introduction
The iNS-308 is a 8-port 10/100Base-TX IoT switch with easy-to-use web interface. It offers 2
Ethernet ports with LAN Bypass feature, and 8 PoE ports for connecting Power over Ethernet (PoE)
devices such as wireless access points (APs), IP cameras, and IP phones to the network.
In compliance with the IEEE 802.3at standard, each PoE port ensures the PSE function and
provides up to 30W for powered devices
The iNS-308 web interface enables you to remotely log into the iNS-308 for configuration and
maintenance. You can configure the iNS-308 turn off/on or reset the power of the POE Ethernet port,
and set power schedule from your browser.

1.2 Features
1. Built-in Web Server
The iNS-308 has a built-in web server that allows users to easily configure, monitor and control the
module from a remote location using a web browser.
2. Power On/Off Schedule
An individual power on/off schedule is provided for each PoE port of the iNS-308. Auto turning off
and turning on the devices at selected times can save manpower, time costs, and power when the
devices are not in used.

3. Power Reset Schedule
The PoE powered devices may become slow or inoperable if they are left on for too long. A simple
reset can help you to solve most problems most of the time. The iNS-308 offers an individual power
reset schedule for each PoE port, you can configure the schedule through a web browser to reset
your devices regularly and keep them working in good condition.
4. Dual Redundant Power Input
The iNS-308 has dual redundant power inputs to ensure reliability. If the main power system fails,
the switch can be powered by an UPS or backup power to prevent network disruptions and close
the alarm Relay. If the iNS-308 module will be used on high load conditions (total PoE power load
exceeds 60w), it is recommended to configure dual power supplies.

3. Getting Started
This chapter provides a basic overview of how to configure and operate the iNS-300 series module.
3.1 Connecting the Power and the Host PC
Step 1: Connect both the iNS-300 series module and the Host PC to the same sub network.
Ensure that the network settings on the Host PC have been correctly configured and are functioning
normally. Ensure that the Windows firewall or any Anti-Virus firewall is properly configured to allow
incoming connections, or temporarily disable these functions, otherwise the “Search Servers”
function in the eSearch Utility described in Section 3.3“Configuring the Network Settings”may not
perform as expected. Contact the System Administrator for instructions of how to do this.
Step 2: Apply power (+24 ~ +57 VDC) to the iNS-308.
