Adaptive Range Extension Mode
The DIP switch offers four modes: Standard, AI, Extend, and VLAN. In Standard mode, the 24-port PoE switch (SP5200-24PFE2GE) functions as a typical IEEE 802.3at PoE+ switch.
◆ AI mode intelligently monitors port activity, automatically disabling PoE power to inactive ports and restoring it when data transmission resumes.
◆ Extend mode enables 10Mbps duplex operation with 20W PoE output, supporting cable runs up to 250 meters – overcoming the standard 100m Ethernet limit while reducing cabling costs.
◆ VLAN mode implements port-based VLAN isolation, preventing multicast/broadcast storms between IP cameras and ensuring stable network performance.
