No power nanoStation & nanoBeam

[Your PCMD]

I have 4 NanoBeams and 5 NanoStation 5AC Locos, also, I have the following:

• Switch Pro 24 PoE
• Switch 24 PoE
• Switch Enterprise 24 PoE

Out of all those, I cannot power any of the NanoBeams or NanoStations. What the heck is going on here?

We just dealt with this at a residential install and we had to manually turn on POE on those ports to get them to power them. 24V Passive was the setting.

I don't believe any of those switches support passive POE. Nothing in the specs and years ago Ubiquiti announced they were dropping passive POE in future switches.

You would need an older model or use an adapter if you want to power them from the switch.

The Instant PoE Adapter transforms almost any Ubiquiti PoE (Power over Ethernet) device into a fully compliant 48V, PoE-compatible product.

That's disappointing. The brand new nanobeams that we purchased we used with customer's existing 8 port switches. I just checked and his are US-8-150W. It seems like moving to injectors is a step backwards.
