Different from the general IT industrial PoE Switch which usually comes with 12 or
24 PoE ports, the GSD-908HP provides eight 802.3af / 802.3at PoE Gigabit ports
for catering to small scale of IP Surveillance networks at a lower total cost. The
GSD-908HP comes with high performance switch architecture and 120-watt PoE

power budget. The recorded video les from 8 PoE IP Cameras can be powered by

the GSD-908HP and saved in the 8-channel NVR system or surveillance software
to perform comprehensive security monitoring. For instance, one GSD-908HP
can be combined with one 8-channel NVR and 8 PoE IP cameras as a kit for the

administrators to centrally and efciently manage the surveillance system in the

local LAN and the remote site via Internet.

Stable and High Performance Switch Architecture

The GSD-908HP has a 4K MAC address table, featuring high performance switch
architecture capable of providing the non-blocking 18Gbps switch fabric and wire-

speed throughput as high as 13.3Mpps, which greatly simplies the tasks of

upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands. Besides, the

802.3x Full-Duplex ow control function of the GSD-908HP enables PD devices

and servers to be directly connected to the switch for wire-speed packet transfer
performance without the risk of packet loss.

The GSD-908HP RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto­Negotiation at port 1 to port 9 for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category
6, 5 or 5e cables. It also supports standard Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the
type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or
crossover cables.

Easy Cable Connection

With data and power over Ethernet from one unit, the GSD-908HP reduces cabling
requirements and eliminates the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall,
ceiling or any unreachable place. A wire that carries both data and power can
lower the installation costs, simplify the installation effort and eliminate the need
for electricians or extension cords. Providing 8 PoE interfaces, the GSD-908HP
is ideal for small businesses and workgroups requiring deploying the PoE for the
wireless access points, IP-based surveillance camera or IP phones in any places

easily, efciently and cost-effectively.

4. Troubleshooting

This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the PoE Ethernet
Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the PoE Ethernet Switch is set up
according to instructions in this manual.

The Link / Act LED is not lit

Solution:

Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the PoE Ethernet Switch.

Performance is bad

Solution:

Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The PoE Ethernet Switch is
run at auto-negotiation mode and if the partner is set to half duplex, then the
performance will be poor.

1000Base-Tport linkLEDislit,butthetrafc isirregular

Solution:

Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use
a physical or software switch to change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not
recognize this type of full-duplex setting.

Why the PoE Ethernet Switch doesn’t connect to the network

Solution:

Check the LNK/ACT LED on the PoE Ethernet Switch. Try another port on the PoE
Ethernet Switch. Make sure the cable is installed properly and make sure the cable
is the right type. Turn off the power. After a while, turn on power again.

Why I connect my PoE device to PoE Ethernet Switch and it cannot power on

Solution:

1. Please check the cable type of the connection from the PoE Ethernet Switch
(port 1 to port 8) to the other end. The cable should be an 8-wire UTP, Category
5 or above, EIA568 cable within 100 meters. A cable with only 4-wire, short
loop or over 100 meters will affect the power supply.

2. Please check and assure the device is fully complied with IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at
standard.

What is the power output of each PoE port?

Solution:

Each PoE port supports 51V DC, 350mA, max 15.4 watts power output. Detect
and inject by the standard of IEEE 802.3af.

Each PoE port supports 51V DC, 600mA, max 30 watts power output. Detect
and inject by the standard of IEEE 802.3at.
