Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does PoE+ mean and what are its advantages?
PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) according to IEEE 802.3at allows compatible devices such as IP Cameras, WiFi Access Points, or VoIP phones to be powered and transmit data over the same network cable. This significantly reduces your Cabling effort, eliminates the need for additional power outlets, and simplifies the installation and maintenance of your network.
How do I reset the Zyxel GS1900-24HP v2 to factory settings?
To reset the switch to factory settings, press the RESET button for longer than 6 seconds. After releasing, the SYS LED will flash. Wait until the switch has restarted (this can take up to 2 minutes). All configurations will be reset to default settings.
