The SW6 PoE+ PTPv2 Network Switch¶
Green-GO switches form the backbone of the network distribution system. The Green-GO has been specifically designed for live entertainment applications, where a mixture of data protocols would otherwise overload and saturate commercially available network switches.
The Green-GO Switch 6 is a passively cooled network switch with six 10/100/1000 Mbit PoE(+) ports, with a total PoE budget of up to 90W.
PTPv2 support provides the necessary foundation for use in conjunction with the Green-GO STRIDE Antenna.
Its rugged form factor, including an M10 thread and safety attachment points, makes the switch suitable for mounting in almost any situation.
What's in the box?¶
The Green-GO Switch 6 comes with the following package contents:
- 1 x Green-GO Switch 6
- 1 x Printed quickstart guide
General usage¶
Getting started with the Switch 6:
- Connect the Switch 6 to a mains power supply using a PowerCON True1 cable. The device will power on immediately.
- The Switch 6 will take a few seconds to initialize, indicated by a white pulsing status LED.
- Once the status LED stops pulsing, PoE power supply to all etherCON ports becomes active.
Status LED¶
During normal operation all port LEDs indicate link speed an status. The LEDs can be turned off for discreet use by quickly pressing the status Button twice to toggle them.
Status LED¶
| Color | status | description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| White | Link Status | Device is operational and port LEDs will show link status/speed | |
| Blue | PoE Status | Device is operational and port LEDs will show PoE status | |
| LEDs Disabled/Device Unpowered | If the LEDs are disabled, double-press the status Button to re-enable them. Alternatively, check whether the device is currently powered |
Port LEDs¶
| Color | status | description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green | 1000Mbps | Connection with 1000Mbps link speed | |
| Orange | 10/100Mbps | Connection with 10/100Mbps link speed. This link speed is to be expected with PoE enabled Green-GO devices | |
| Red | Fault | A PoE fault has occurred. Please check whether the combined power consumption of connected devices exceeds the maximum PoE budget of 90W | |
| No Connection | No active connection |
Check PoE status¶
Press and hold down the status Button to check the PoE status of the etherCON ports.
Port LEDs¶
| Color | status | description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyan | PoE+ | A PoE+ IEEE 802.3at (30W) enabled device is connected to this port | |
| Purple | PoE | A PoE IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) enabled device is connected to this port | |
| Red | Fault | A PoE fault has occurred. Please check whether the combined power consumption of connected devices exceeds the maximum PoE budget of 90W | |
| No PoE | No PoE enabled device is connected to this port |
