Product Overview

Art-Switch PoE4 is a DIN-Rail ethernet switch.
It features five 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports:
one for the input connection, and four outputs
that support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Art-Switch PoE4 is housed in a small robust
DIN-Rail case that can also be surface
mounted. All ethernet connections are made
via RJ45s. Each port has individual indicators
to show speed of connection, PoE use and
data activity.
Art-Switch PoE4 features auto configuration
per port, including speed, duplex and cable
type.
The PoE output on the four ports complies
with the IEEE802.3af standard. Art-Switch
PoE4 is capable of providing power and data
to four other products in the Art-Range such
as Art-Lynx O/P or Art-Relay. It can also be
used with any PoE or ethernet compatible
nodes.

Power & Earthing
Art-Switch PoE4 requires 48 VDC input
power. The connector is a pluggable 2-pin
screw terminal.
The red LED (see 'Connections & LED
Indicators') is on when the unit is powered.
Art-Switch PoE4 User Guide
In some circumstances Art-Switch may need
to be connected to mains Earth. Under the
top left terminal guard there is a connection
to the cable shield that can be connected to
mains Earth.
The cable shield is referenced to logic ground
by a capacitor / resistor network as specified
in the ethernet standard.

Operation

Art-Switch PoE4 is used to connect ethernet/
Art-Net nodes together. It provides data
communication and power for up to four
devices.
All settings are factory configured. Art-Switch
PoE4 has been set up as an unmanaged
ethernet switch.
There are some settings that are configured
automatically:
Auto-Negogiate
When a new connection is made, Art-Switch
PoE4 will auto detect the speed for each port
individually. It will always default to the highest
speed.
Auto Cable Detection
There are two types of ethernet cables that
are used to connect equipment together:
patch and cross-over. Art-Switch PoE4 has
auto cable detection so either type can be
used to connect any type of ethernet device.
