Frequently Asked Questions - EX19082A EtherWAN

How do I install the EX19082A network card?

Turn off your computer, open the case, insert the card into an available PCIe x1 slot, secure it, and close the case. Power on and install drivers if not automatically recognized.

Which operating systems are supported?

The card supports Windows (7/8/10/11), Linux (kernel 2.4+), and macOS (10.6+). Drivers are included or available online.

What should I do if my computer doesn't detect the network card?

Ensure the card is properly seated in the PCIe slot. Try a different slot. In Device Manager, scan for hardware changes. If still undetected, check BIOS settings for integrated NIC conflicts.

Can I use this card with a laptop?

This is a standard PCIe card designed for desktop computers. For laptops, consider a USB or ExpressCard network adapter.

Does it support Wake-on-LAN?

Yes, the EX19082A supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL). Enable it in the device's advanced properties and ensure your motherboard supports it.

What is the maximum cable length for Gigabit Ethernet?

For 1000BASE-T, the maximum cable length is 100 meters (328 feet) using Cat5e or better cable.

How do I clean the network card?

Power off and unplug the computer. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the card's surface. Avoid contact with components.

Is the card compatible with older PCI slots?

No, the EX19082A uses a PCI Express x1 interface and is not compatible with standard PCI slots.

What should I do if the link LED is off?

Check the cable connection and ensure the other device is powered on. Try a different cable. Verify that the network settings are correct (e.g., speed/duplex match).

Can I use this card for network boot (PXE)?

Yes, the card supports PXE boot. Enable Boot from LAN in the BIOS/UEFI settings and configure the boot order accordingly.

EX19082A PoE Switch Installation Guide

1 Unpacking

Unpack the items. Your package should include:

One EX19082A Ethernet PoE switch
One AC power cord

If items are missing or damaged, notify your EtherWAN representative. Keep the carton and packing material.

2 What Else You Need

Category 5 or better Ethernet cables
➢ Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules for optional fiber connectivity

3 Select a Location

Desktop installations: Locate a flat surface.
Identify a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters).
Choose a dry area with ambient temperature between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104°F).
Do not cover fans on the rear and side.
Keep away from heat sources, sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Be sure there is adequate airflow.
Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away from the nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

4 Connect to the Data Ports

Eight Gigabit PoE+ Ports

The switch is equipped with 8 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports that provide IEEE802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+), with up to 30W per port (250W total PoE power budget). These ports can be connected to PoE devices such as IP surveillance cameras or Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones.

A. Insert one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable into a switch port.
B. Connect the other end into the Ethernet port of the device.
C. Repeat steps A and B for each additional device you want to connect to the switch.

Gigabit RJ45/SFP Uplink Ports

The switch provides two gigabit uplink ports, 1 RJ45 (10/100/1000Mbps) and 1 SFP (1000Mbps).

The SFP port accommodates standard SFP modules; wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap before connecting SFP modules.

5 Apply AC Power

A. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the switch rear panel. Connect the other end to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet.
B. On the switch rear panel, move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

When you apply AC power:

The fans start.
The orange Power LED goes ON.
The Link/ACT LEDs turn on for every port connected to a powered device.
