FAQs
Does this switch support gigabit speeds on all ports?
No, the 16 RJ-45 ports are Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps). Only the two combo SFP ports support gigabit speeds.
What is the maximum power per port?
The switch delivers up to 30 watts per port, compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
Can I use this switch for outdoor cameras?
Yes, it includes 6kV surge protection, which helps protect connected cameras installed in outdoor environments.
How do I activate the 300-meter transmission mode?
You can enable the 'Extend Mode' via the web-based management interface.
Is this switch rack-mountable?
Yes, it is designed for a standard 1U rack-mount form factor.
What does the PoE Watchdog feature do?
It monitors the connection to your cameras and automatically power-cycles the port if it detects that the camera has gone offline, removing the need for manual restarts.
Troubleshooting
Connected device is not receiving power
Verify the total PoE budget (230W) has not been exceeded and check that the cable length is within the supported range (up to 300m with Extend mode enabled).
Unable to access web management interface
Ensure your computer is on the same subnet as the switch's management IP address and verify the network connection to the management port.
PoE device keeps cycling power
Check the PoE Watchdog settings; the device may be incorrectly identifying the endpoint as offline, or the power draw of the device may be exceeding the 30W per-port limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The switch is designed for standard 1U rack-mount installation. To set up, connect the device to a grounded AC power source and link your IP cameras or VoIP phones to the RJ-45 ports. For management, access the switch's web-based interface via a browser to configure VLANs or set port priorities. The metal housing is durable, but ensure the installation area provides adequate ventilation within the rack to maintain an operating temperature between 0 and 45 °C. Clean the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth periodically, and avoid blocking the side air vents to prevent overheating.
