Common problems
Device does not power on
Check the power cable connection and ensure the rear power switch is in the 'On' position.
No network connection on a port
Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected and check the port status indicators on the front panel.
PoE device not receiving power
Ensure the connected device is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant and that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the 380W PoE budget.
Before use
- Ensure 19-inch rack space is available for mounting.
- Verify the power source matches the device requirements.
- Check that all Ethernet cables are RJ45 compliant.
- Confirm that connected devices are compatible with 802.3af/at PoE standards.
