User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch provides 195W of total PoE budget across all 24 ports. The actual number of devices depends on their individual power requirements. Most IP phones consume 3-7W, wireless access points typically use 10-20W, and PTZ cameras may require up to 30W. You can power approximately 15-20 typical PoE devices simultaneously within the 195W budget.
What types of SFP+ modules are compatible with the uplink slots?
The four SFP+ slots support industry-standard 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LR, and 10GBase-T modules for fiber or copper connections. They are also backward compatible with 1G SFP modules for Gigabit uplinks. Always use Aruba-certified or multi-vendor compatible modules that meet the switch's specifications for reliable operation.
Is this switch manageable, and what management interfaces does it offer?
Yes, this is a smart managed Layer 2 switch.
