Frequently Asked Questions - LS106LP TP-LINK

What is the TP-Link LS106LP switch used for?

The TP-Link LS106LP is a PoE switch designed to provide both power and data to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones over a single Ethernet cable.

How many PoE ports does the LS106LP have?

The LS106LP features 6 PoE ports (10/100 Mbps) that support IEEE 802.3af, delivering up to 15.4W per port.

What is the total PoE power budget?

The total PoE power budget is estimated at up to 65W, but actual available power may vary depending on the power adapter and environmental conditions.

Does the LS106LP support PoE+ (802.3at)?

No, the LS106LP only supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), providing up to 15.4W per port. For PoE+ (30W) models, consider the LS108GP or LS1210GP.

What is Extend Mode and how does it work?

Extend Mode allows data and power transmission up to 250 meters at a reduced speed of 10 Mbps. It is ideal for long-distance surveillance camera installations.

How do I enable Extend Mode?

Extend Mode is typically activated by a physical switch on the device or via DIP switches. Refer to the manual for your specific model. Note that port speed will be limited to 10 Mbps.

Can I connect non-PoE devices to the LS106LP?

Yes, the LS106LP is backward compatible. Non-PoE devices will simply receive data without power. The switch automatically detects PoE requirements.

What should I do if a PoE device is not receiving power?

First, check the power adapter and cable connections. Ensure the device is IEEE 802.3af compliant. The PoE Auto Recovery feature may automatically reboot unresponsive devices. If issues persist, contact TP-Link support.

Is the LS106LP managed or unmanaged?

The LS106LP is an unmanaged switch, meaning it is plug-and-play with no configuration required. It automatically negotiates speed and duplex settings.

Where can I download the user manual?

The user manual can be downloaded for free from notice-facile.com or the official TP-Link support website in PDF format.

LS106LP/LS108GP LS109P/LS1210GP

The TP-Link LiteWave Series PoE Switches require no configuration and provide PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports. They can automatically detect and supply power with all IEEE 802.3af/at compliant Powered Devices (PDs). In this situation, the electrical power is transmitted along with data in one single cable allowing you to expand your network to where there are no power lines or outlets, where you wish to fix devices such as APs, IP Cameras or IP Phones, etc.

Highlights

• With multiple PoE ports, transfer data and power on one single cable
• Working with IEEE 802.3af /at compliant PDs, expand your network*
• 802.1p/DSCP QoS enable smooth latency-sensitive traffic
• Up to 250 m data and power transmission under Extend Mode** specially designed for surveillance system
• Isolation Mode (for LS109P&LS1210GP only) allows one-click client traffic separation for higher security and performance
• PoE Auto Recovery guarantees stable operation of PoE devices by automatically rebooting the dropped or unresponsive PD devices
• Plug and play, no configuration and installation required

Note:
* LS105LP and LS106LP only support IEEE 802.3af, and provide PoE Power up to 15.4W for each PoE port; other switches support IEEE 802.3af/at, and provide PoE Power up to 30W for each PoE port.
** The speed of the ports which are under extend mode will be downgraded to 10Mbps. Actual transmission distance may vary from the quality of the cables.
*** PoE budget calculations are based on laboratory testing. Actual PoE power budget is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of client limitations and environmental factors.
