Do you have a question about the LevelOne FEP-0631 and is the answer not in the manual?

The FEP-0631 is an unmanaged PoE switch designed for various networking applications, including security network video monitoring and general network engineering. It features four 10/100M PoE downlink ports and two 10/100M uplink ports, offering a balance of connectivity for powered devices and network backbone integration.

Function Description:

The primary function of the FEP-0631 is to provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to compatible devices such as IP cameras, IP phones, and wireless access points (APs) while simultaneously facilitating network data transmission. It supports the IEEE 802.3af/at standard, allowing each PoE port to deliver up to 30W of power, with a total maximum power budget of 60W for the entire unit.

A key feature of this switch is its support for three distinct operating modes: Extend, Default, and VLAN. These modes are selectable via a DIP switch on the back panel, enabling the switch to adapt to various complex network environments.

Extend Mode: In this mode, ports 1-4 can transmit data up to 250m, significantly extending the reach of PoE devices beyond the standard 100m limit. These ports are isolated from each other but can communicate with the uplink ports. This mode also restrains network storms and closes flow control, which can be beneficial in specific deployment scenarios.
Default Mode: This is the standard switch mode, where all ports operate as a common switch without any special isolation or extended transmission capabilities.
VLAN Mode: Similar to Extend mode, ports 1-4 are isolated from each other but can communicate with the uplink ports. This mode also restrains network storms and closes flow control, providing a segmented network environment for enhanced security and performance.

The FEP-0631 also incorporates a "PoE Auto-check" function, which is a significant maintenance feature. This function automatically detects if a connected Powered Device (PD) has frozen. If a frozen PD is detected on any of ports 1-4, the switch will automatically restart the power output to that specific port, thereby restarting the PD device. This intelligent feature helps to resolve common issues with frozen equipment without manual intervention, greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of project maintenance.

For robust operation, the switch is designed with high anti-interference capabilities, including 6KV surge protection and 6KV contact / 8KV air ESD protection, ensuring reliability in challenging electrical environments.

Usage Features:

The FEP-0631 is designed for ease of installation and operation. It supports both wall-hanging and desktop installation, providing flexibility for deployment in various settings. The front panel includes clear LED indicators for power, PoE status, and Link/Act status for each port, allowing for quick visual monitoring of network activity and power delivery.

The back panel features a DIP switch for selecting the operating mode (Extend, Default, VLAN) and enabling/disabling the PoE Auto-check function. This allows administrators to quickly configure the switch to meet specific network requirements without needing complex software interfaces.

The device is suitable for connecting a range of PoE-powered devices, simplifying cabling by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Its compact metal housing ensures durability and efficient heat dissipation.

Maintenance Features:

PoE Auto-check Function: This is a significant maintenance feature that automatically detects and restarts frozen PD equipment on ports 1-4. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and reduces the need for manual troubleshooting and site visits, thereby lowering maintenance costs and effort.
Robust Protection: The built-in 6KV surge protection and ESD protection (6KV contact / 8KV air) enhance the switch's resilience against electrical disturbances, reducing the likelihood of hardware failure and the need for replacements.
Simple Configuration: The DIP switch-based mode selection and PoE Auto-check control simplify configuration, making it easy for non-technical users to manage basic settings without specialized tools or training.
Clear Indicators: The comprehensive set of LED indicators on the front panel provides immediate visual feedback on the operational status of the switch and connected devices, aiding in quick diagnosis of network issues.
Grounding Terminal: The inclusion of a grounding terminal emphasizes the importance of proper grounding for lightning protection, contributing to the long-term reliability and safety of the device.
