Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Why can I see everything connected to this toughswitch like a hub instead of only the device on the port I am connected to? Is this actually a switch?

A: Please clarify your question. If you configure the ports to be on the same (or no) VLAN then you will see all devices on all ports.Switch works very well.

Q: 2. Does this switch get hot and can I mount it on a wall?

A: Yes, you can easily mount the switch to a wall or other flat surface via the two anchors and mounting screws provided in the product's box.Depending on the number of devices you're powering via PoE the switch can get warm, but in my experince not hot.

Q: 3. Can this power on the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X via one of its POE interfaces?

A: Even if it physically could, I really wouldn't and would run all switching equipment on dedicated power from a proper power supply.

Q: 4. Do I need a router with this product?

A: Yes. Get the Ubiquiti Edge-X. Works great with this switch.

Q: 5. Does it come with a power supply?

A: The Vivotek AW-IHB-1040 10-Port Gigabit PoE++ Compliant Industrial Managed Switch, B&H # VIAWIHB1040, does not include a power supply.

Q: 6. Does this switch have the Unifi software in it to configure the UAP-AC-PRO-E or other access points? If so then one would not need to buy the Cloud Key or have to use the Unifi Gateway router.

A: As the other responders have mentioned, the switch does not have the Unifi management software built in...Cloud Key is one option or Mac/PC computer can run the software. Our setup is USG, 2 US-8-60W switches (to connect to buildings and provide POE power to 3 A/P's) 1 US-AC-Lite A/P, 2 AC-Mesh A/P's, 1 CloudKey and 3 Ring Camera's and 1 Ring Doorbell for security and wifi coverage over 3+acres. I used the CloudKey as this installation is for my in-laws for remote monitoring of the system. Unifi software, logs and Deep Packet Inspection, delivered via cloud was important so that I could monitor network and camera performance from a distance. The computer running the software does not need to be on 24/7 unless you want the analytics. Once the A/P is set up via computer it will deliver wifi without the controller being online. Running the Unifi full stack using USG and full time controller/CloudKey will allow you to get detailed system analytics and a lot of the advance features that Unifi provides in the equipment (VLANS, port forwarding, Intrusion Detection/Prevention, etc.). Have not had downtime with this stack since installation. Excellent equipment...Hope this helped.

Q: 7. does this switch provide the power over Ethernet to your devices or does it just let it voltage pass through?

A: The switch gives you actual POE on any of the ports. You must enable the POE for the individual ports in the configuration. For instance, I use one port to connect/power a Ubiquiti NanobeamAC and another to connect/power a Ubiquiti Nanostation LOCO M5 (as AP) and the other ports I have disabled POE as they have not POE devices connect. A cool feature is besides the LAN activity led on each port there is a POE indicator LED. Hope that helps.

Q: 8. Is this switch silent or near silent?

A: The operating noise level of the Ubiquiti Networks Switch Enterprise 24-Port Gigabit switch is between 35-40 decibels.

Q: 9. Do we need additional power supply to use the switch or will it consume power over LAN (input) using PoE?

A: The main unit needs a power supply. All 5 LAN ports are PoE.

Q: 10. Can this switch be powered by POE from a different US-8-60w?

A: No, the Ubiquiti Networks US-8-60W UniFi 8-Port Gigabit PoE Compliant Managed Switch cannot be powered by POE from another US-8-60W.
