FAQs

How do I upgrade my network speed?

Connect your 2.5G-capable devices to the 2.5GbE ports on the XMG-108HP. You can use your existing Cat5e cables to achieve the speed upgrade.

What is the function of the SFP+ port?

The SFP+ port allows you to connect the switch to a high-speed network uplink or a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device for faster data transfers.

What is PoE++?

PoE++ (Power over Ethernet Plus Plus) allows the switch to provide both power and data connectivity to devices like access points, cameras, and other devices that require power, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.

How many devices can I power using PoE++?

The XMG-108HP has eight PoE++ ports. The total power budget is 100W, so the number of devices you can power depends on their individual power consumption.

Can I use this switch with my existing network?

Yes, the XMG-108HP is backward compatible and supports 100M, 1G, and 2.5G speeds. It can be easily integrated into your existing network.

Is the switch noisy?

No, the XMG-108HP features a fanless design, ensuring silent operation, ideal for noise-sensitive environments.

How do I reset the switch?

The XMG-108HP is unmanaged and does not have a reset button or interface. You can reset the switch by disconnecting the power cable and then reconnecting it after a few seconds.

Troubleshooting

Devices connected to the switch are not receiving power.

Check that the PoE devices are correctly connected to the PoE++ ports and that the switch is powered on. Verify that the total power draw of the connected devices does not exceed the 100W PoE budget.

Slow network speeds.

Ensure that the connected devices support 2.5GbE speeds and that the Ethernet cables are in good condition. Test with different cables and devices to isolate the issue.

The 10G SFP+ port is not working.

Verify that you have a compatible SFP+ module inserted correctly. Ensure the connected device also supports 10G speeds.

No network connectivity

Check all cable connections. Restart the switch and any connected devices.
