1Introduction
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) eliminates the need to run DC power to other devices on a wired LAN. Using a
Power-over-Ethernet system, installers need to run only a single Category 5 Ethernet cable that carries both power
and data to each device. This allows greater flexibility in the locating of network devices and, in many cases,
significantly decreases installation costs.
There are two system components in PoE - the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) and the PD (Powered Device).
The IEEE 802.3af/at specification defines PSE as a device that inserts power onto an Ethernet cable. The PSE
may be located at the switch (End-span configuration). or it may be a separate device located between the switch
and the PD (Mid-span configuration). The PD is the natural termination of this link, receiving the power, and
could be an IP phone, a WLAN access point, or any other IP device that requires power. The current is transmitted
over two of the four twisted pairs of wires in a Category-5 cable.
Power-over-Ethernet follows the IEEE 802.3af/at specification and is completely compatible with existing
Ethernet switches and networked devices. Because the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) tests whether a
networked device is PoE-capable, power is never transmitted unless a Powered Device is at the other end of the
cable. It also continues to monitor the channel. If the Powered Device does not draw a minimum current, because
it has been unplugged or physically turned off, the PSE shuts down the power to that port. Optionally, the standard
permits Powered Devices to signal to the PSEs exactly how much power they need.
The PoE switch is a multi-port fast Ethernet switch that can be used to build high-performance switched
workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking.
It also features a ‘store-and-forward switching’ scheme that allows the switch to auto-learn and store source
addresses in a 8K-entry MAC address table. The switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone
computing environments.

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack; which can be placed in a wiring closet with
other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure
them with the screws provided.
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.
Please be aware of following safety instructions when installing:
nElevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

nReduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
nMechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
nCircuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
nReliable Grounding - Reliable Grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips)."
3.3 Grounding the Switch
The section describes how to connect the switch to ground. You must complete this procedure before powering
your switch.
Required Tools and Equipment
lGround screws: One M4 x 6mm (metric) pan-head screw
lGround cable: The grounding cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements.
Depending on the power supply and system, a 6 to 12 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S installation.
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of
the switch to proper grounding facilities.
lA screwdriver
The following steps let you connect the switch to a protective ground:
Step 1: Verify if the system power is off.
Step 2: Use the ground cable to place the #8 terminal lug ring on top of the ground-screw opening, as
seen in the figure below.
Step 3: Insert the ground screw into the ground-screw opening.
Step 4: Using a screwdriver, tighten the ground screw to secure the ground cable to the switch.
Step 5: Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding
stud or bolt on rack where the switch is installed.
Step 6: Verify if the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely
attached.
3.4 Plugging in the AC Power Cord
Users may now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one
that is grounded and surge protected).

4Troubleshooting
This section is intended to help solve the most common issues with the PoE Switch
Incorrect connections
Every port on this switch can automatically detect either straight or crossover cables when you link it with other
Ethernet devices but other devices may demand a specific cable type (depending on the device). Choose the
appropriate cable to connect between the units. The RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable,
10/100Mbps port use 2-pairs twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correctly pinned then the link will fail.
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If
that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miss wired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problems, and can
seriously impair network performance. A cable tester is the recommended tool for network installation.
RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω
Category 3, 4 or 5 cables for 10Mbps connections, 100ΩCategory 5 cable for 100Mpbs connections, or 100Ω
Category 5e/above cable for 1000Mbps connections. Also be sure that length of any twisted-pair connection does
not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). We suggest using Category 5e cable when connection to power a device.

Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive
cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your
network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active
cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network
performance.
Diagnosing LED Indicators
To assist in identifying problems, the switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators, which describe
common problems the user may encounter and where the user can find possible solutions. If the LED display
detection isn’t correct, please unplug then plug in the cable again.
If the power indicator does not light when the power cord in plugged in, you may have a problem with the power
outlet or power connections, power losses, or surges at power outlet. If the problem still cannot be resolved, please
contact the local dealer for assistance.
5 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of the switch.
5.1 Management Options
The Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based Management
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with Web-Based
Management. The PC’s IP address should be in the same range as the switch. Each switch can allow only one user
to access the Web-Based Management at a time.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.
5.2 Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
Connecting to the Switch
