How to Install TRENDnet 6-Port Hardened Industrial Gigabit Switch

• Plan your deployment: Identify a suitable protected enclosure or cabinet near your equipment, ensuring adequate ventilation and access for maintenance. Decide which devices will be powered by PoE and which will connect via uplinks.
• Mount the switch: Attach the switch to a DIN-rail or wall-mount surface using the included hardware. Ensure the unit is securely fastened and that cables have strain relief to prevent accidental disconnections.
• Provide power (redundant): Connect the primary power source to one input and the secondary (backup) source to the other. Follow your system’s electrical specifications and safety requirements to maintain continuous operation even if one supply is interrupted.
• Connect PoE devices: Attach PoE++ devices to the 4 PoE ports. Distribute the 240W budget across devices according to their power needs, avoiding overloads and ensuring stable operation. Use short, well-structured runs to reduce losses and interference.
• Establish uplinks and management: Use the 1x Gigabit share port for an uplink or management interface as needed. If high redundancy is required, deploy fiber uplinks via the two Gigabit SFP slots to connect to core switches or distribution layers.
• Initial testing and monitoring: Power up the system and verify link status on each port. Use the alarm output to connect to your monitoring platform for real-time fault alerts. Confirm PoE devices power on and operate as expected.
• Documentation and maintenance: Record port assignments, power budget usage, and uplink paths. Schedule periodic checks for cable integrity and enclosure temperature, especially in high-temperature or dusty environments.
