1. Introduction The PoE+ Extender Switch is a plug-and-play Ethernet switch with PoE (Power over Ethernet) PD and PSE function. Uplink port of the switch supports PoE PD function. The switch can receive data and power from uplink port if it is connected to a PoE switch(PSE). Port 1~4 of the switch support PoE PSE function. Data and power can be delivered to PoE PD devices by Ethernet connections.
2. Where To Place the Switch This switch can be placed on a flat surface (your desk, shelf or table). Place the switch at a location with these connection considerations in mind: The switch configuration does not break the rules as specified in Section 3. The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily to it. The cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical interference such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
3. Configure Network Connection 3.1 Connecting to the Switch [ Connection Guidelines: ] Cat. 5, 5e, or higher twisted-pair Ethernet cable for Ethernet network connection. For TX cable connection, always limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328 ft) as defined by IEEE specification Because this switch supports Auto MDI/MDI-X detection on each TX port, you can use normal straight through cable for both workstation connection and hub/switch cascading.
up to 200 meters distance is allowed without extra power connect. [ Application -2 – work as PoE Switch] In Application -2, the switch cannot receive power from uplink port. A local power connection is provided for PoE application. The switch can deliver both power and data to PoE PD devices, e.g. some IP cameras, IP phones, and WiFi APs. That will reduce the construction cost for those applications, and make them become easy to implement.

4. LED Condition Definition The LEDs provide useful information about the switch and the status of all individual ports. LED Power PoE Max. (Note 1*) Link/Act Status OFF Description The switch is power OFF. ON The switch is power ON. OFF PoE power is available for PD connection. ON Blink No system budget is available Total PoE deliver power is over budget. OFF The port is link down. ON-Green The port is link as 100Mbps speed. ON-Yellow The port is link as 10Mbps speed.
5. PoE Operation of the Switch This switch consists of five TX ports. The Uplink port support PoE PD function, and can receive data and power from PoE PSE switch. Port 1~4 support PoE PSE function, and can deliver data and power to PoE PD devices. This switch works as an extender to extend from one PoE connection to four PoE connections and extend the connection distance from 100 meters to 200 meters. Here is the introduction about the PoE operation of the switch.
Here are the rules for PoE port priority on the switch. 1. When the switch is already power ON, the rule is “First Connect, First Get Power”. No priority for port. 2. When the switch starts to power ON, the priority is Port 4 > Port 3 > Port 2 > Port 1. That means that Port 4 will allocate power first. Note: For the stability of the switch when powered from Uplink port, please make sure that the maximum power - 30W(802.3at) /15.4W(802.3af) is available from Uplink.
6. Installation Guide & Application Note 6.1 Note for PoE Network Construction PoE+ Extender Switch is a plug-and-play device. No any configuration or setup is necessary. Because of some PoE spec limitation, please follow the following application note for installation. The key limitation of PoE application is the “maximum power delivering limit”. For 802.3at, it could be up to 30W/port. For 802.3af, it could be up to 15.4W/port. For a PoE switch, it also has total power budget limit.
Receive power in two ways ... 1. From DC jack with a power adapter (48VDC ~ 57VDC). 2. From Uplink port with a network connection to PoE switch. Connectors ... 1. DC Jack : for power adapter power-in. 2. “Uplink” : for switch uplink connection and getting power from PoE switch. If no PoE power avaiable, it works as a normal Ethernet switch port. 3. “1”,”2”,”3”,”4” : for network devices connection. PoE power can be delivered from the ports to PD devices.
7. “Link/Act” LED of port will be ON if network connection works. 8. “PoE out” LED of port will be ON if PoE power is delivering. 9. If “PoE out” LED blink, remove the connection because it is overload. Here is the application note for this application. 1. The system PoE budget is 60W. 2. It is 30W maximum per port for 802.3at connection, and 60W total maximum for Port 1~4. 3. PoE power allocation on port is according to the class of PD.
Class 0: 13W. 4. When no system budget is available, “PoE Max” LED will be ON. 5. For the stability of the switch when powered from Uplink port, please make sure that the maximum power - 30W is available from Uplink. 6. Port priority is only for PoE+ Extender Switch starting to power ON. And it is Port 4 > Port 3 > Port 2 > Port 1. After power ON, there is no port priority. > 802.3af PoE connection on Uplink port 1. The system PoE budget is 8W. (Assume the PoE voltage from Uplink port is 48VDC.
