4. Instruccions de configuració

1. Desempaqueta el Switch: Traieu amb cura l'interruptor i tots els accessoris de l'embalatge.
2. Connectar l'alimentació: Connect the provided power adapter to the DC 48-57V power input port on the switch and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The PWR LED indicator on the front panel will illuminate, indicating the switch is powered on.
3. Connecteu-vos a la xarxa: Connect your router or main network device to any of the 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable.
4. Connecteu els dispositius PoE: Connect your PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, VoIP phones) to the remaining PoE ports using Ethernet cables. The Link/Act and PoE LEDs for each connected port will illuminate, indicating a successful connection and power delivery.
5. Optional: Extend Mode: If extended distance is required for a PoE device, ensure the "Extend Mode" switch is set to ON. This mode typically reduces bandwidth to 10Mbps but extends the transmission distance up to 820 feet (250 meters). Refer to the specific port configuration for your model.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The Amcrest PoE+ Switch is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring minimal user intervention. Once powered on and connected, it automatically detects and provides power to compatible PoE devices.

• Indicadors LED:
  • LED PWR: Solid green indicates the switch is powered on.
  • LED d'enllaç/acció: Solid green indicates a stable network link. Blinking green indicates data activity.
  • LED PoE: Solid green indicates PoE power is being supplied to the connected device.
• PoE Watchdog Function: The switch continuously monitors the status of connected PoE devices. If a device becomes unresponsive, the PoE Watchdog feature will automatically restart the power to that port, helping to restore functionality without manual intervention.
• Mode d'ampliació: For devices requiring longer cable runs, activate the Extend Mode switch. This will allow PoE and data transmission up to 820 feet (250 meters) at a reduced speed of 10Mbps. Ensure your connected device supports this mode.

6. Manteniment

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Amcrest PoE+ Switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Neteja: Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ventilació: Assegureu-vos que l'interruptor estigui col·locat en una zona ben ventilada per evitar el sobreescalfament. No bloquegeu cap obertura de ventilació.
• Gestió de cables: Keep network cables organized and free from kinks or excessive tension to prevent damage and ensure reliable connections.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Periodically check the Amcrest website for any available firmware updates for your model. While this is a plug-and-play device, occasional updates may improve performance or address issues.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your Amcrest PoE+ Switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Sense alimentació (LED PWR apagat):
  • Assegureu-vos que l'adaptador de corrent estigui connectat correctament tant a l'interruptor com a una presa de corrent que funcioni.
  • Verifiqueu que la presa de corrent funciona connectant-hi un altre dispositiu.
• No Link/Activity (Link/Act LED Off):
  • Comproveu que el cable Ethernet estigui connectat correctament tant al port del commutador com al dispositiu de xarxa.
  • Prova un cable Ethernet diferent.
  • Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu de xarxa connectat estigui encès i funcioni correctament.
• No PoE Power (PoE LED Off):
  • Confirm that the connected device is PoE-compatible (IEEE 802.3af/at).
  • Check the total power budget (96W) and individual port limits (Port 1: 60W, Ports 2-8: 30W). Ensure you are not exceeding these limits.
  • Prova de connectar el dispositiu a un port PoE diferent.
  • If the device is unresponsive, the PoE Watchdog may have already attempted a restart. If not, try power cycling the switch.
• Velocitat de xarxa lenta:
  • Verify that all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps).
  • If using Extend Mode, note that bandwidth is reduced to 10Mbps.
  • Check for network congestion or issues with your router/main network device.
