Introduction
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) eliminates the need to run VAC power to other devices on
a wired LAN. Using Power-over-Ethernet system installers needs to run only a single
Category 5 Ethernet cable that carries both power and data to each device. This allows
greater flexibility in the locating of network devices and significantly decreasing
installation costs in many cases.
There are two system components in PoE—the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
initiates the connection to the second component, and the Powered Device (PD). The
current is transmitted over two of the four twisted pairs of wires in a Category-5 cable.
Power over Ethernet follows the IEEE 802.3af and is completely compatible with existing
Ethernet switches and networked devices. Because the Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE) tests whether a networked device is PoE-capable, power is never transmitted
unless a Powered Device is at other end of the cable. It also continues to monitor the
channel. If the Powered Device does not draw a minimum current, because it has been
unplugged or physically turned off, the PSE shuts down the power to that port. Optionally,
the standard permits Powered Devices to signal to the PSEs exactly how much power
they need.
The 8 10/100TX + 2 Gigabit copper/Mini-GBIC Combo with 8 PoE Injectors Managed
Switch is the multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance switched
workgroup networks. It is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for
high-speed networking. It also features a “store-and-forward “switching scheme. This
allows the switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 8K-entry MAC address
table. The switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing
environment.

Hardware Description
This section mainly describes the hardware of the PoE Injector Managed Switch and
gives a physical and functional overview on the certain switch.
Physical Dimension
8 10/100TX + 2 Gigabit copper/Mini-GBIC Combo with 8 PoE Injectors Managed
Switch’s physical dimensions is 270mm(W) x
210mm(D) x 44mm(H).
Front Panel
The front panel of the 8 10/100TX + 2 Gigabit copper/Mini-GBIC Combo with 8 PoE
Injectors Managed Switch consists of 8 x 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 Ethernet ports (Auto
MDI/MDIX), 2 Giga port and 2 Mini-GBIC ports. The LED Indicators are also located on
the front panel of the switch.
RJ-45 Ports: 8 x 10/100 N-way auto-sensing for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX
connections. Moreover, these ports also supply power for PDs.
In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub or Switch while MDIX means
connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX would allow
connecting to another switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or
8

crossover cabling.
2 Gigabit Ethernet port: 2 x 10/100/1000TX N-Way auto-sensing for 10/100/1000
connection.
2 Mini-GBIC port: 2 mini-GBIC ports for Gigabit or 100M fiber connection.
LED Indicators
The LED Indicators display real-time information of systematic operation status. The
following table provides descriptions of LED status and their meaning.

The 3-pronged power plug and terminal block are located on the rear panel of the 8
10/100TX + 2 Gigabit copper/Mini-GBIC Combo with 8 PoE Injectors Managed Switch as
shown below. The switch will work with AC in the voltage range of AC 100-240V with
Frequency of 50-60Hz, or work with DC 48V which is the redundant power supply for the
switch.
The Rear Panel of the 8 10/100TX + 2 Gigabit copper/ MINI GBIC Combo with 8 PoE Injector Managed Switch
Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface
10

where you put the switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there is
enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and allow
air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Pads
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is grease and dust free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Pads.
C. Apply the Rubber Pads to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These footpads
can prevent the switch from shock/vibration.
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch. The other
side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the switch
works with voltage range of AC in the 100-240VAC/ Frequency of 50~60Hz, and the
redundant power of DC 48V. Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power
is properly supplied.
11

Network Application
This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used. In
general, the PoE Injector Managed Switch is designed as a segment switch which has
large address table (8k MAC addresses) and high performance to deal with
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with
PoE injector Managed Switch. The switch automatically learns nodes addresses, which
are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
Using the uplink port (Giga Combo port), the switch can connect with another switch or
hub to interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Meanwhile, user can also use fiber ports to connect switches. Besides, the PoE switch
also injects power into the UTP cables for supplying the power that PDs (Power Devices)
need.
The Power over Ethernet Switch can provide power to PDs that follow the IEEE 802.3af
standard in the network. It can solve the problem of position limitation. The network
devices can be installed in more appropriate position for better performance. The
following figure is an example of network application for Power over Ethernet Switch.
12

Power over Ethernet Switch network application
Small Workgroup
The PoE Injector Managed Switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal
computers, server, printer server, are directly connected to form a small workgroup.
13

Small Workgroup application
Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this
switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone.
In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print server, and local server
attached, are both connected to the switch. All the devices in this network can
communicate with each other through the switch. Connecting servers to the switch
allows other users to access the data on server.

Segment Bridge application

Console Management
Login in the Console Interface
When the connection between switch and PC is ready, turn on the PC and run a terminal
emulation program or Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters to
match the following default characteristics of the console port:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bit: 1
Flow control: None
The settings of communication parameters
After finishing the parameter settings, click “OK“. When the blank screen shows up,
press Enter key to bring out the login prompt. Key in the ‘root’ (default value) for both
User name and Password (use Enter key to toggle), then hit Enter key and the console
management appears right after. Please see the figure below for login screen.
