how to install TI-PG162

• Prepare the installation space by selecting a cool, dry location with adequate airflow. Verify that mounting surfaces can support the weight and vibration profile of the switch, and ensure there is clearance for cables and connectors.
• Mount the TI-PG162 on a standard DIN-rail using the included mounting brackets. Secure the device firmly to prevent vibration or displacement in operation, and verify that the rail is properly anchored.
• Connect fiber uplinks or copper network connections. If using fiber, insert the appropriate transceivers into the two Gigabit SFP slots and attach the fiber cables to the SFP ports. For copper deployments, connect devices to the 14 PoE+ RJ-45 ports and ensure Ethernet cables are rated for industrial use.
• Power the device with a suitable power arrangement. If you are implementing redundancy, connect power inputs to multiple sources; otherwise, connect the external power supply TI-M6024 if your installation requires PoE distribution and additional power redundancy. Ensure all power connections are secure and compliant with local electrical codes.
• Power on and verify functionality. Since the TI-PG162 is an unmanaged switch, there is no software configuration needed. Check PoE status on the connected devices, confirm link/activity LEDs, and verify network access across the connected endpoints. Label cables for future maintenance and monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
