User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 45 watts, which can be distributed across its eight PoE+ ports. The exact number of devices depends on their individual power requirements; for example, it could power several lower-power devices like IP phones or a combination of higher-power devices like wireless access points. Each port supports the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, delivering up to 30 watts per port as needed.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it support?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It includes a web-based interface for configuration and supports features such as Virtual LANs (VLANs) for network segmentation, IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic handling, port mirroring for network analysis, and access control lists (ACLs) for security. Additional management capabilities include flow control, loop protection, and DHCP snooping, providing comprehensive control over network performance and security.
Can this switch be mounted on a wall?
Yes, the switch is designed for both desktop and wall mounting.
