How to install TRENDnet 8-Port Long Range PoE+ Switch

Follow these steps to deploy the TPE-LG80 quickly and safely.

Step 1: Plan your layout. Identify where you need PoE-powered devices and ensure there is a reliable power source for the switch itself. Place the switch in a secure, ventilated area to maintain optimal temperature and performance.

Step 2: Connect to your network. Use an Ethernet cable to link your router or main network switch to one of the 8 PoE+ ports on the TPE-LG80. This uplink provides the data path for all connected devices as well as PoE power distribution to the devices as needed.

Step 3: Connect PoE devices. Plug your IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones into the remaining PoE+ ports. Each device will receive both data connectivity and power from the switch, up to the 65W total budget.

Step 4: Power up and verify. Supply power to the TPE-LG80 and check the LED indicators on the front panel for link status and PoE activity. Verify device connectivity by testing network performance and device operation.
