Notice
The device is a power-required device, meaning it will not work till
it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please
consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device.
It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime. In
some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to
protect your FGSD-910P from being damaged by unregulated
surge or current to the FGSD-910P or the power adapter.
Before start up
Before your installation begins, please refer to the following for your cabling:
10/100Base-TX (Port 1 to Port 8)
All 10/100Base-TX ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically
support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working
network device into one of the 10/100Base-TX ports, and then turn on the FGSD-
910P. The port will automatically run in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps
after negotiating with the connected device.

Note
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between the FGSD-910P and other network
equipment should not exceed 100 meters for UTP/STP cable.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can use Category 3/4/5 cable in 10Mbps operation. To reliably
operate your network at 100Mbps or 1000Mbps, you must use an
Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5/5e/6 cable, or better
Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cables may initially
seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
2.5.2 IPOfceDepartment/WorkgroupPoESwitch
With the business ofce expansion, the additional telephones required could be
installed in less cost via the implementation of PoE IP Telephony system than that
of the traditional circuit wiring telephony system. The FGSD-910P PoE Ethernet
Switch helps enterprises to create an integrated data, voice, and powered network.
The IEEE 802.3af compliant IP Phones can be installed without the need of
an additional power cable because the power can be provided via the standard
Ethernet cable from the connected FGSD-910P.
The Wireless AP group, PoE IP Phones and Analog Telephony Adapter work perfectly
with the FGSD-910P which injects power through the Ethernet cables. With the
FGSD-910P, IP Telephony deployment becomes more reliable and cost effective,
which helps enterprises save tremendous cost when upgrading from the traditional
telephony system to IP Telephony communications infrastructure.

3. Power over Ethernet Overview
What is PoE?
The PoE is an abbreviation of Power over Ethernet; the PoE technology means
a system to pass electrical power safely, along with data on Ethernet UTP cable.
The IEEE standard for PoE technology requires Category 5 cable or higher for high
power PoE levels, but can operate with category 3 cable for low power levels.
Power is supplied in common mode over two or more of the differential pairs of
wires found in the Ethernet cables and comes from a power supply within a PoE-
enabled networking device such as an Ethernet switch or can be injected into a
cable run with a mid-span power supply.
The original IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of DC power
(minimum 44 V DC and 350mA) to each device. Only 12.95 W is assured to be
available at the powered device as some power is dissipated in the cable.
The updated IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE standard also known as PoE+ or PoE plus
provides up to 25.5 W of power. The 2009 standard prohibits a powered device
from using all four pairs for power
The 802.3af / 802.3at dene two types of source equipment: Mid-Span and End-
Span.
Mid-Span
Mid-Span device is placed between legacy switch and the powered device. Mid-
Span is tap the unused wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 to carry power; the other four is for
data transmit.
End-Span
End-Span device is directly connecting with powered device. End-Span could also
tap the wire 1/2 and 3/6.
PoE System Architecture
The specication of PoE typically requires two devices: the Powered Source
Equipment (PSE) and the Po wered Device (PD). The PSE is either an End-
Span or a Mid-Span, while the PD is a PoE-enabled terminal, such as IP Phones,
Wireless LAN, etc. Power can be delivered over data pairs or spare pairs of
standard CAT-5 cabling.
Powered Source Equipment (PSE)
Power sourcing equipment (PSE) is a device such as a switch that provides
(sources) power on the Ethernet cable. The maximum allowed continuous output
power per cable in IEEE 802.3af is 15.40 W. A later specication, IEEE 802.3at,
offers 25.50 W. When the device is a switch, it is commonly called an End-span

18
(although IEEE 802.3af refers to it as endpoint). Otherwise, if it's an intermediary
device between a non PoE capable switch and a PoE device; it's called a Mid-span.
An external PoE injector is a Mid-span device.
Powered device
A powered device (PD) is a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy.
Examples include wireless access points, IP Phones, and IP cameras. Many powered
devices have an auxiliary power connector for an optional, external, power supply.
Depending on the PD design, some, none, or all power can be supplied from the
auxiliary port, with the auxiliary port sometimes acting as backup power in case of
PoE supplied power failure.
How Power is Transferred Through the Cable
A standard CAT5 Ethernet cable has four twisted pairs, but only two of these are
used for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. The specication allows two options for using
these cables for power, shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2:
The spare pairs are used. Figure 3-1 shows the pair on pins 4 and 5 connected
together and forming the positive supply, and the pair on pins 7 and 8 connected
and forming the negative supply. (In fact, a late change to the spec allows either
polarity to be used).

end, it is possible to apply DC power to the center tap of the isolation transformer
without upsetting the data transfer. In this mode of operation the pair on pins 3
and 6 and the pair on pins 1 and 2 can be of either polarity.

4. Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the PoE Ethernet
Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the PoE Ethernet Switch was set up
according to instructions in this manual.
The Link LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the PoE Ethernet Switch.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The PoE Ethernet Switch is
run at Auto-negotiation mode and if the partner is set to half duplex, then the
performance will be poor.

Solution:
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use
a physical or software switch to change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not
recognize this type of full-duplex setting.
Why the PoE Ethernet Switch doesn’t connect to the network
Solution:
Check the LNK/ACT LED on the PoE Ethernet Switch. Try another port on the PoE
Ethernet Switch. Make sure the cable is installed properly and make sure the cable
is the right type. Turn off the power. After a while, turn on power again.
Why I connect my PoE device to FGSD-910P and it cannot power on
Solution:
1. Please check the cable type of the connection from the FGSD-910P (port 1 to
port 8) to the other end. The cable should be an 8-wire UTP, Category 5 or
above, EIA568 cable within 100 meters. A cable with only 4-wire, short loop or
over 100 meters will affect the power supply.
2. Please check and assure the device is fully complied with IEEE 802.3af standard.
What is the power output of each PoE port?
Solution:
Each PoE port supports 48V DC, 350mA, max 15.4 watts power output. Detect
and inject by the standard of IEEE 802.3af.
