Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is PoE and how does it work?

Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both data and electrical power to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable. This technology simplifies installations by eliminating the need for separate power cables for compatible devices.

2. Can I use non-PoE devices with this switch?

Yes, you can connect non-PoE devices to the Intellinet switch. However, they will not receive power through the Ethernet cable and will require separate power connections.

3. What devices can I connect to the Intellinet switch?

You can connect various devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, IP cameras, and more, as long as they are IEEE 802.3at or 802.3af compliant.

4. Is the switch suitable for outdoor use?

The Intellinet Network Solutions 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch is designed for indoor use. For outdoor installations, consider using appropriate network enclosures to protect it from the elements.

5. What should I do if I experience connectivity issues?

If you encounter connectivity issues, ensure all Ethernet cables are securely connected, check that your devices are PoE-compliant, and verify the switch is powered on. If problems persist, consult the user manual or contact Intellinet support for assistance.
