Expert Installation Advice: Redundant Power
Don’t rely on a single PSU. Expert Tip: The IE-SW-VL05T-5TX features dual DC power inputs (PWR1 and PWR2). We strongly recommend wiring these to two separate 24V power supplies (e.g., Main and UPS). If the primary supply fails, the switch automatically draws power from the secondary input without rebooting, ensuring zero downtime for your network communication.
