Connection for PoE Switch
For simplicity, we will take Festa FS310GP for example throughout the Guide.

Note

1. The PoE ports can also connect to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.
2. The PoE ports shall not be used to charge lithium batteries or devices supplied by lithium batteries.
3. Maximum PoE power is 30 W for each PoE port, and total PoE budget is 62 W (for Festa FS308GP) / 61 W (for Festa FS310GP) respectively.
4. PoE budget calculations are based on laboratory testing. Actual PoE power budget is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of client limitations and environmental factors.

Connection for Non-PoE Switch
For simplicity, we will take Festa FS308G for example throughout the Guide.

Note

1. Port 8 is a PD (Powered Device) port. When powered through port 8, the switch can only be powered by power supplies that comply with the 802.3af/at standard and Power Source Class 2 (PS2) or Limited Power Source (LPS) defined in the standard of IEC 62368-1.
2. The DC power input takes precedence over the PD port. If the DC input fails, the PoE input on the PD port willl supply power instead.

Installation

Note: For simplicity, we will take Festa FS310GP for example.

Desktop:
Attach the supplied feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent it from slipping when placed on a desktop.

Wall-mounting:
Drill two holes on the wall according to the mounting holes on the bottom of the switch, then secure the switch to the wall with two suitable screws (not provided).

Note:
For detailed information, please refer to the Wall Mounting Guide on the device’s support page.
