4. Configuració i instal·lació

4.1 Connexió bàsica

1. Ensure your upstream network device (e.g., PoE switch or PoE injector) provides IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE power.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your PoE source to the PoE IN port on the MokerLink Extender. This port will supply both power and data to the extender.
3. Connect your PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones) to the PoE OUT 1, 2, or 3 ports using standard Ethernet cables.
4. The extender is plug-and-play and will automatically detect and power the connected devices. No software configuration is required.

4.2 Opcions de muntatge

The MokerLink PoE Extender offers flexible mounting options:

• Muntatge en paret: Use screws to secure the extender to a wall or flat surface.
• Muntatge en carril DIN: Attach the extender to a standard DIN rail for industrial or organized installations.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The MokerLink PoE Extender is designed for simple operation:

1. Once connected as described in Section 4.1, the device will automatically power on and begin functioning.
2. The extender will automatically detect if a connected device requires PoE power and supply it accordingly.
3. Data transmission will occur at the highest supported speed (10/100/1000Mbps) negotiated with the connected devices.

6. Funcions avançades

6.1 Cascading Multiple Extenders

The MokerLink PoE Extender supports cascading up to 3 levels, allowing you to extend the reach of your PoE network significantly. Each extender can extend the PoE and data signal by an additional 100 meters.

Figure 6: Diagram showing three MokerLink PoE Extenders cascaded to extend network reach up to 300 meters for IP cameras.

6.2 Port-based VLAN Feature

The extender includes a DIP switch for enabling a port-based VLAN feature. When activated, ports 2-4 can be isolated from each other. This helps prevent broadcast storms from IP cameras or other devices on one port from affecting devices on other ports, enhancing network stability.

7. Solució De Problemes

• No Power to Connected Devices:
  • Ensure the PoE IN port is connected to an active IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE source.
  • Verify the PoE source is providing sufficient power for all connected devices. The extender has a maximum output of 24W.
  • Check all Ethernet cable connections for proper seating and integrity.
• Sense connexió de dades:
  • Confirm that the upstream network connection is active and functioning.
  • Ensure Ethernet cables are correctly connected to the PoE IN and PoE OUT ports.
  • Test with different Ethernet cables to rule out cable faults.
  • Verify the connected device is operational and its network settings are correct.
• Velocitat de xarxa lenta:
  • Assegureu-vos que tots els dispositius i cables connectats siguin compatibles amb Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) per a un rendiment òptim.
  • Check for excessive cable lengths. While the extender extends range, total cable length should still adhere to Ethernet standards for reliable performance.

8. Informació de seguretat

• No exposeu el dispositiu a l'aigua ni a una humitat excessiva.
• No obriu el dispositiu casing. Demaneu totes les tasques de manteniment a personal qualificat.
• Assegureu-vos una ventilació adequada per evitar el sobreescalfament.
• Use only with IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE sources.
