Introduction

Thank you for choosing the APS104G-EX PoE extender switch, APS104G-EX is a 5-Port 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation PoE switch. Port5 is a PD port, accepting 802.3bt 60W ultra PoE input, ports(portal- 4) PoE-OUT are 802.3af/at compliant, feeding Max. 15.4/30watt to the connected device.
With PoE input, APS104G-EX is capable of adding up to 100-meter data + power extensions in the PoE network. With outstanding performance and built quality, the APS104G-EX PoE extender switch is an ideal choice for saving cabling costs and expanding existing PoE network coverage in the most efficient manner.

Overview

2.1 Front Panel

2.1.1 LED Indicators
PoE- IN: port 5

ON (solid): indicates the port is running on 10/100Mbps
Blink: the port is sending or receiving traffic
1000M| Green| Off: No device is connected to the port.
ON (solid): indicates the port is running on 1000Mbps
Blink: the port is sending or receiving traffic

PoE-OUT: port 1 – port 4

ON (solid): indicates the port is running on 10/100Mbps
Flashing: network data sending and receiving on this port
1000M| Green| Off: No device is connected to the port.
ON (solid): indicates the port is running on 1000Mbps
Flashing: the port is sending or receiving traffic

Functionality Indicator

ON: PoE extender switch is powered ON.
PoE| Orange| Off: no PoE-powered device (PD) connected.
ON (solid): there is a PoE PD connected to the port, and PoE power is fed successfully.
Flashing: abnormal PoE power supply.
Max| Orange| Off: indicate the usage of PoE power budget is less than 80%.
Light: indicate the usage of PoE power budget is over 80%, No sufficient power may be supplied if additional PD are connected.
Blink: indicate the usage of PoE power budget is over 100%.

NOTE Max. LED indicator only functions when using 802.3bt PoE input.

2.2. Rear Panel
The rear panel of the PoE extender switch indicates a DC inlet power socket.

NOTE APS104G-EX supports a DC power supply (48 – 55V DC), please contact our distributor for this optional purchase.

Product Installation

3.1. Precaution before Installation
Find a flat horizontal surface — such as a table, desk, or shelf. Make sure the selected location is:

• No sunlight to it or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. A least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all sides is suggested to be reserved for switch installation.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is placed in a chassis).

NOTE

• Do not place the switch near water or any damp area. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.
• Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall;
• Make sure that the operating voltage is the same one labeled on the switch.
• Do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when electrical hazards are present to avoid electrical shocks.

3.2 Powering on the PoE Extender Switch
• PoE powered
Step 1: Connect a Cat.5e/6 UTP cable from 802.3bt compliant Power Source Equipment (PSE), such as ultra PoE switch, and ultra PoE injector to port 5 “PoE-IN” port.
Step 2: When plugging in, all gigabit LED indicators (green) will flash once, then go off. After device initialization, the “PWR” LED on the front panel and network speed (10/100M or gigabit) LED on port 5 will be ON.

NOTE

DC Adapter Powered (Optional) The PoE extender switch supports 48V-55V DC input as a power source. Powering on the switch, it will initialize and its LED indicators will respond as follows:
– When plugging in the DC adapter, the PWR LED indicator will light up.
– All gigabit LED indicators (green) will flash once, then go off. After device initialization, the “PWR” LED on the front panel will be ON.

4 Feeding Power to 802.3af/at PoE Compatible Device (PD – Powered Device)
Step 1: Connect Cat.5e/6 cable to remote 802.3af/at compliant Powered Device (PD) from port ‘I to port 4 on the PoE extender switch. Step 2: The “PoE” LED will be ON after power is fed to the connected device.

NOTE

1. For PoE power output, APS104G-EX supports standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, and 802.3at ) output.
2. Never connect any non-standard PoE device to PoE-OUT ports on the PoE extender switch, there will be no power fed to a connected device, and communications cannot be made. If the remote device is not IEEE 802.3af/at PoE compatible, the PoE LED indicator will not light, and power is not fed to the device.
3. DO NOT connect any PoE power source equipment (PSE) to port 1 to port 4 on the PoE extender switch; it may damage the device permanently.
4. PoE Max. The LED indicator will be turned ON when overall power consumption reaches 80% (when using 802.3bt PoE input).
