1. Introduction
The iNS-306 is a 6-port 10/100Base-TX IoT switch with easy-to-use web interface. It offers 2
Ethernet ports with LAN Bypass feature, and 4 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-300 web interface enables you to remotely log into the iNS-300 series module for
configuration and maintenance. You can configure the iNS-300 series module, 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-300 series module 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-300 series module.
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-300 series module
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-300 series module 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. If the iNS-300 series module will be used on high load conditions (total PoE power
load exceeds 60w), it is recommended to configure dual power supplies.
