Welcome to the PoE Texas Manual for the GATS-M PoE+ Layer 2 Managed Switches!

The purpose of the manual is to help you quickly and effectively navigate the installation and functions of your new IEEE 802.3at Layer 2 Managed PoE switch. 

Our goal is to make our products as intuitive and simple to use as possible.  We value your feedback and questions.  You can reach us directly at service@poetexas.com and +1-512-479-0317.

Or you’re always welcome to leave questions or comments on our product pages: GATS-M-TS8200-48P-4FM

What’s Inside

PARTS LIST:GATS-M-TS8200-8P-2FM, GATS-M-TS8200-16P-2FM, GATS-M-24P-4GCM, GATS-M-TS8200-48P-4FM

  • 1 X PoE Switch
  • 1 X Rack Mount Kit – Does NOT include the rack nuts and bolts!

NOTE: The switch includes the screws for the rack wings, but it does not include the rack mounting nuts or screws.  So, you’ll want to grab some of those.

You have everything you need to get your switch up and operating.  Let’s get started.

 

GENERAL INSTALLATION

 

To deploy your new IEEE 802.3at Layer 2 managed switch, you really only need three key things:

  1. 120-240 VAC 50/60 Hz power.
  2. Gigabit Uplink Data on the RJ45 port or Small Form-Factor Pluggable Fibers slot
  3. Space:
  • 1 unit of 19″ rack space
  • 17 1/2″ wide by 9 1/2″ long desk space

* Optional: If you’re rack mounting it, you do need nuts and bolts to mount it on the rack.

Key note:

  • Per UL/IEC 62368-1 Clause F.4, this equipment is intended for use only in a restricted access area.

That’s it!  Let’s get it mounted, then discuss how to configure it.  

Put it together:

RACK MOUNTING:

If you plan to mount this into a rack, simply use the small screws to attach the rack mount wings.  You’ll need a small philips head screwdriver for this.

 The kit does not come with the hardware to mount it to the rack, so don’t forget to pick those up.

CONFIGURATION

The GATS-M will function perfectly as a basic IEEE 802.3at switch for WiFi, IP cameras, or any PoE+ application right out of the box.  For most basic networks, you do not need to configure the switch to operate.  It will power on, negotiate PoE+, enable Spanning Tree Protocol, and forward on the right network traffic for a basic configuration.

However, if you need to configure the switch, you will need a fundamental understanding of networking to do more than a few key management items.  We won’t try to show you how to do all the possible Layer 2 configurations in this manual.  Please contact us if you’d like additional information on configuring Layer 2 settings.

We will cover some important features you can control such as turning on a PoE watchdog, monitoring the ports, and setting your IP address to match your network.
