Standard connection: Use one Ethernet cable, with one end plugged into the LAN port of the router and the other end plugged into any regular data port of the PoE switch (non Uplink port, some switches have dedicated Uplink ports for cascading, not used here). Confirm that the equipment is in good condition: Check whether the PoE switch, router, network cable, and terminal devices that need to be connected (such as wireless APs and network cameras) are working properly, without damage or malfunction. Plan network layout: Based on actual usage scenarios. The first thing you need to do is connect your switch to an electrical outlet so it is powered on. These devices receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable, which reduces clutter and makes it easier to. With PoE, you only need to run one Ethernet cable line to both connect and power a device like a VoIP phone, IP security camera, IP paging speaker, Wi-Fi access points, or other PoE-enabled device.
