FAQs
- Q: What’s the difference between PoE and non-PoE Smartbyte switches?
A: PoE models provide power and data through the same Ethernet cable for devices such as cameras and HMIs, while non-PoE versions handle data transmission only. - Q: Do unmanaged switches require setup or configuration?
A: No — unmanaged switches are plug-and-play devices that automatically detect and forward Ethernet traffic without manual configuration.
