Introduction
The Scatterbox range of PoE switches are
great for distributing IP camera signals
across a network.
A PoE switch is a network switch which
has power over Ethernet built-in. The PoE
switch will detect whether the load device
is PoE compatible and provide PoE power
automatically and network connection.
The units add extra flexibility to a network
infrastructure thanks to 100 metre run
capabilities both in and out of them.
User Information
The PoE Switch must be installed in a
clean, dry environment where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures,
moisture or excessive dust.
Do not touch the PoE Switch or any of its
connections with wet hands.
Ensure the power is switched off if the
PoE Switch is not in use for a long period
of time.
There are no user serviceable parts in the
PoE Switch and opening or attempting to
repair the product will void the warranty.
Only use the PSU originally supplied with
the product.
Do not install or use the device if the
power cable is damaged.

Accessories Included
To make the installation as easy as possible our PoE switches is supplied with a power lead and
the larger units include mounting brackets.
Power Lead
So that the PoE switch is ready to use right
out of the box we supply a 240V AC IEC C13
power lead.
Mounting Brackets
The POE516 and POE524 are supplied with
19” rack mount brackets for easy mounting
into a standard 19”rack mount cabinet.

Setup Options
The Switches have different uses and setup options. Including providing power to PoE
Cameras, and providing network access to devices like computers.
Option 1
Power IP Cameras using PoE, and then these cameras can then connect to the relevant
network video recorder or to a network infrastructure. If you want to power the IP Cameras
using the PoE switch then connect the IP Cameras using CAT5e/CAT6 Ethernet Cable, for
longer distances we recommend using high quality cable, with solid copper cores.
Option 2
Provide network infrastructure to PoE and non-PoE Devices, like computers, and other
Network devices.
Note: Not all possible options are shown here as PoE switches have many different configurations and applications.

SFP
A small transceiver that plugs into the SFP port of a network switch and
connects to Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) optical fibre cables at
the other end.
VLAN
An additional feature is the VLAN option. This allows separation between
ports. So if you set VLAN on, ports on the different blocks won’t be able to see
each other. Note that the UPLINK does see all ports so the separation is only
between ports.
The VLAN switch can switch to 250m long-distance power supply, this will
lower the bandwidth on each channel to 10 Mbps.
Rack Mounting
The larger 20 port POE516 and the 28 port
POE524 are supplied with rack mount brackets.
These brackets attach to the side of the PoE
switch allow you to mount it into a standard 19”
rack mount cabinet.

Trouble Shooting
The table below describes common problems you may encounter when using a ScatterBox
PoE switch along with the most common solutions for rectifying the problem.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
No Power light on
Switch
Power to the device Check power to device from external source. Check that the power
lead (IEC lead) is plugged in.
Loose connection Check that the power lead (IEC lead) is plugged in.
Network light not
flashing
Poor quality cable or
termination
Check the Ethernet cabling to your device is of good quality and is
terminated correctly. See below for standard configuration.
No PoE on
connected device
Poor quality cable or
termination
Check the Ethernet cabling to your device is of good quality and is
terminated correctly.
Total power
consumption
exceeded
Check the load devices are not above the total power consumption
of the switch.
Cable length Check the distance of Ethernet cable to your device, if required
use the VLAN option to extend the voltage 250m and lower the
bandwidth to 10 Mbps per channel.
Slow flashing LEDs,
No Network or PoE
on load devices
Faulty cable or
device
Turn the power off to the switch & unplug the load devices (Check
Ethernet cabling to load devices). Leave the switch turned off for 10
seconds and then power the switch back up, plug each device back
into switch individually to help troubleshoot the suspect cable.
