EtherMagic Overview
An EtherMagic Gigabit+ network consists of one EtherMagic
Switch and one or more EtherMagic EndPoints. Each EndPoint
provides 802.3af/at or 24V passive PoE, and must be paired
with a Switch to create a network. Up to 10EtherMagic
networks are supported on the same electrical circuit, and up
to 32 EndPoints may be paired with a single Switch.

Hardware Installation
For optimal performance, connect the EtherMagic Switch and
EndPoints directly to wall outlets of the same electrical circuit.
The Switch and EndPoints can be plugged in and mounted to
the outlets directly using the Wall Plug Adapter, or plugged in
using the optional Power Cord.
WARNING: EtherMagic is for indoor use only. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the
EtherMagic modules to rain or moisture.
EtherMagic Switch Installation
1. Detach the Mounting Bracket from the Switch by sliding it
in the direction shown below.

2. (Optional) If using the Power Cord:
a. Detach the Wall Plug Adapter from the Switch.
b. Connect the Power Cord.

3. Plug the Switch directly to an electrical outlet.
or
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the Switch.
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your LAN
(switch or router).

EtherMagic EndPoint Installation
1. Detach the Mounting Bracket from the EndPoint by sliding
it in the direction shown below.
2. (Optional) If using the Power Cord:
a. Detach the Wall Plug Adapter from the EndPoint.

b. Connect the Power Cord.
3. Plug the EndPoint directly to an electrical outlet.
or

4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the PoE port on the
EndPoint.
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your
24V/48V PoE device.
Note: Non-PoE devices can be safely connected to the
EndPoint for EtherMagic networking without PoE. The
PoE port is set to 48V auto (802.3af/at) by default. For
24Vpassive PoE, use the EtherMagic app to configure
the PoE setting to 24Vpassive.

Mounting (Optional)
If the Power Cord is being used, the EtherMagic module may be
mounted for added stability.
1. Place the Mounting Bracket at the desired location with the
mounting tabs facing up, and mark the two holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket
using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the slots on the EtherMagic module with the tabs of
the Mounting Bracket, and then slide the module down.
