❓ Most Asked Questions

Q: What is the total PoE power budget, and how many devices can I power?
A: The total PoE power budget is 370 watts. The number of devices depends on their power consumption. For example, you could power approximately 24 standard VoIP phones (each using ~7W) or around 10 high-power PTZ cameras (each using ~30W). The switch intelligently manages power and will only provide it to ports if the total budget is sufficient.

Q: Does this switch automatically prioritize VoIP traffic?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Auto Voice VLAN feature automatically detects VoIP traffic and places it in a separate VLAN with higher Quality of Service (QoS) priority. This ensures your voice calls remain crystal-clear even when the network is busy.

Q: Can I use this for an IP camera surveillance system?
A: Yes, it’s an excellent choice. The built-in Surveillance Mode automatically detects ONVIF-compatible IP cameras, isolates them in a dedicated VLAN for security, and provides a simplified web interface specifically for managing your camera network.

Q: What are the two SFP ports used for?
A: The two Gigabit SFP ports are used for fiber optic uplinks. You can use them to connect the switch to your main network core over long distances using SFP transceivers, or to daisy-chain to another switch without losing performance.

Q: Is this switch easy to configure for someone without deep IT knowledge?
A: As a Smart Managed switch, it offers a user-friendly web interface (GUI) that is more advanced than an unmanaged switch but simpler than a fully managed, command-line switch. It is designed for small-to-medium businesses that need smart features without extreme complexity.

Q: Do you offer warranty and local support in Kenya?
A: Yes, we supply genuine D-Link products that come with a standard warranty. We also provide local technical support and guidance for our customers in Kenya to ensure your network runs smoothly.
