Connection

The PoE Injector has different LED indicators to provide information about the power supply status:

PWR: Off – Power off
PWR: Steady Yellow – Power on, no PoE power supply
PWR: Steady Green – Power on, normal PoE power supply
PWR : Flashing Green – Abnormal PoE power supply
PoE: On – Normal PoE power supply
PoE: Off – No powered device connected
PoE: Flashing – Abnormal PoE power supply

Powered Device (PD)

The PoE Injector can be used with various powered devices including:

IP Camera

4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the powered device (IP Camera, AP, IP Phone, etc.).

Step 2: Power Supply

1. Plug the power supply cord into the PoE Injector.

2. For POE170S/POE380S models, plug the product into the wall outlets with earthing connection through the power supply cord.

Step 3: LED Indication

Observe the LED indicators on the PoE Injector to verify the power supply status:

PWR LED: Off – Power off
PWR LED: Steady Yellow – Power on, no PoE power supply
PWR LED: Steady Green – Power on, normal PoE power supply
PWR LED: Flashing Green – Abnormal PoE power supply
PoE LED: On – Normal PoE power supply
PoE LED: Off – No powered device connected
PoE LED: Flashing – Abnormal PoE power supply

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1. Can the PoE injector supply power to a PoE device which doesn’t have a gigabit PoE port?

FAQ

Q1. Can the PoE injector supply power to a PoE device that doesn’t have a gigabit PoE port?

A: Yes. All RJ45 ports of the PoE injector support 10/100/1000 Mbps.

Q2. What can I do if my PoE injector doesn’t supply power to the powered device or the supplied power is unstable?

A1: Ensure the PD is PoE-compliant and its connecting port supports the PoE function.
A2: Ensure the power consumption of the PD doesn’t exceed the maximum power supply of the PoE injector, otherwise the overload protection of the PoE injector will be activated. The quality and length of the Ethernet cable may influence the reception of the power supply.
