FAQ's
What does PoE+ mean on the GS116LP switch? PoE+ refers to Power over Ethernet Plus, supporting up to 30 watts of power per port according to the IEEE 802.3at standard, allowing the switch to power compatible devices through Ethernet cables. Can the GS116LP power all 16 ports simultaneously? The GS116LP has a total PoE power budget which limits the number of ports that can supply full power simultaneously; the total available power is shared across all PoE-enabled ports. Does the GS116LP require configuration before use? No, the GS116LP is a plug-and-play switch that does not require any configuration for basic connectivity and PoE functionality. Is the GS116LP suitable for mounting in a rack? The GS116LP is designed primarily as a desktop or shelf-mounted switch and does not include rack-mounting hardware. What devices can be powered by the GS116LP switch? The GS116LP can power IEEE 802.3at compliant devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras via its PoE+ ports. What network speeds does the GS116LP support? All 16 ports on the GS116LP support Gigabit Ethernet speeds with auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation.
