EtherWAN EX42300 series Quick Installation Guide

  • Hello! I'm here to assist you with the EtherWAN EX42300 Ethernet switch. I've reviewed the installation guide, which covers unpacking, power connection, location selection, data port usage, and DIP switch settings. The guide provides essential details on the switch's power requirements, port configurations, and LED indicators. I understand you might have setup or operational questions, so feel free to ask.
  • What should I do if any items are missing or damaged from the package?
    What is the required power input for the switch?
    What is the maximum power consumption of the switch?
    What is the PoE power budget?
    What are the available port options?
