User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch has 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports and a total PoE budget of 120 watts. The number of devices it can power depends on the power requirements of each connected device. For example, it could support multiple IP phones (typically 3-7W each), wireless access points (around 15-30W each), or security cameras, as long as the total power draw does not exceed 120W.
What are the benefits of Layer 3 support in this switch?
Layer 3 support enables routing between different network segments or VLANs, allowing for scalable network design, improved traffic management, and enhanced security. It supports features like inter-VLAN routing, Quality of Service (QoS), and access control lists, making it suitable for more complex business networks compared to basic Layer 2 switches.
