Brief introduction

Many thanks for purchasing this Gigabit Ethernet POE

Switch! This product supports IEEE802.3ab 1000Base-T

standard, available for both full duplex and half duplex mode.

It provides 8 UTP ports with PoE feature, suitable for most

10/100/1000M networks.

Installation

1. Interface

RJ-45 interface

All RJ-45 copper interfaces support Auto-Negotiation for

optimal speed detection through RJ-45 CAT5 UTP cables

with a maximum length of 100 meters (or 328 feet). They

also support standard Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the

type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring

special straight or crossover cables.

2. Connection

All ports support 802.3af compliant Power Devices (PD) and

other network devices (e.g. work station, hub or switch).

Connect one end of the standard UTP CAT5 network cable

to the 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports on the front panel of

the switch. Connect the other of the cable to the typical

network devices.

3. Power on

Connect one end of the power adapter to the switch.Connect

the power plug of the adapter to a standard wall outlet. When

the switch is powered on, the PWR LED should be remain

static green. The LEDs of each port indicate the connection

status of corresponding port. (See Table.1 for detailed

description)

Do you have a question about the LevelOne GEP-0823 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document describes the LevelOne GEP-0823, an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Switch designed for small to medium-sized networks.

The GEP-0823 is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Switch that supports the IEEE802.3ab 1000Base-T standard, operating in both full-duplex and half-duplex modes. It provides eight UTP ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, making it suitable for 10/100/1000M networks. The switch is designed to power compatible Power Devices (PDs) directly through the Ethernet cable, simplifying network deployment by eliminating the need for separate power outlets for connected devices.

Package Content:

The package includes:

GEP-0823 Switch (x1)
AC/DC adapter (x1)
AC power line (x1)
User manual (x1)

Installation and Connection:

The switch features RJ-45 interfaces for all its copper ports. These ports support Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection (10/100/1000Mbps) when using RJ-45 CAT5 UTP cables up to 100 meters (328 feet) in length. Additionally, all ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X, which automatically detects the type of Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for special straight-through or crossover cables.

To connect devices, one end of a standard UTP CAT5 network cable should be connected to one of the 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports on the front panel of the switch. The other end of the cable connects to typical network devices, which can include 802.3af compliant Power Devices (PDs) or other network devices like workstations, hubs, or switches.

Powering On:

To power on the switch, connect one end of the provided power adapter to the switch's DC inlet power socket on the rear panel, which accepts 52V DC input power. Then, connect the power plug of the adapter to a standard wall outlet. Once powered on, the PWR LED on the front panel should illuminate static green, indicating that the device is active. The LEDs for each port will indicate the connection status of the corresponding port.

Panel Layout:

Front Panel: The front panel features eight Auto-Sensing 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports. It also houses the power LED and individual LED indicators for each port, providing visual feedback on the switch's operational status and port activity.
Rear Panel: The rear panel includes a DC inlet power socket for connecting the power adapter.

LED Indicators:

The LED indicators provide crucial information about the device's status and help in troubleshooting.

LED	Status	Description

L/A P1~P8	Green	Link to port
	Blink	Data transfer to port
SPD P1~P8	Green	Transfer rate is 1000Mbps
	OFF	Transfer rate is 10/100Mbps

Usage Features:

The GEP-0823 is designed for indoor applications. It supports standard UTP CAT5 network cables for distances up to 100 meters between the switch and connected devices. For 10Mbps operations, Cat.3/4/5 cables can be used, but for 100/1000Mbps operations, Cat.5 UTP or better data-grade cables are required to ensure optimal performance. The appliance inlet serves as the disconnect device and must remain readily operable at all times.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

Bad Performance: If experiencing bad performance, verify the transfer rate (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps) and the duplex status (full-duplex or half-duplex) on both the switch and the connected device. Ensure that both sides are configured to identical settings.
Link Failure: If a link failure occurs (indicated by the L/A LED), try connecting to another port on the switch. Ensure the cable is properly installed and is the correct type for the desired speed. If the issue persists, power off the device for a moment and then power it back on.
