Z-NET PRO PoE Installation Guide

Use this guide to connect a Z-NET PRO to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) network

Overview

The Z-NET PRO does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) directly. However, you can still power it from a PoE network by using a PoE splitter. A PoE splitter separates power and data from a single Ethernet cable so the Z-NET PRO can receive both network connectivity and power. Using a PoE splitter can simplify installations by eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.

What you’ll Need

• Z-NET PRO

• PoE-enabled network

• PoE splitter with 5V USB-C output cable & Ethernet cable

Installation Steps

1. Connect a PoE Network Cable to the PoE splitter input port.

2. Connect the Ethernet output from the splitter to the Ethernet port on the Z-NET PRO.

3. Connect the USB power output from the splitter to the power input on the Z-NET PRO.

Once connected, the PoE network will supply both power and network connectivity to the Z-NET PRO.

Troubleshooting

Z-NET PRO does not power on

• Confirm your PoE switch or injector is providing power

• Verify the splitter outputs 5V USB power

Network connection not detected

• Ensure the Ethernet output from the splitter is connected to the Z-NET PRO

• Confirm the PoE switch port is active
