2️⃣ Check LED Indicators

The LEDs give you a quick view of the switch and port status:

Tip: If a device isn’t receiving power, try a different port or check the cable.

3️⃣ Device Placement Tips

• Cameras: Connect IP cameras to PoE ports.

• Access Points: Connect to PoE ports for both network and power.

• VoIP phones or IoT devices: Also compatible with PoE.

Note: Ensure the total power required by devices does not exceed the switch’s PoE budget (refer to the manual for max watts per port and total).

4️⃣ Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Device not powering

• Make sure it is PoE-compatible (802.3af/at)

• Try another port

• Check that the total PoE load is within the switch’s limits

Problem: Device not connecting to network

• Verify Ethernet cables are Cat5e or better

• Ensure device is powered

• Restart the switch if necessary
