GS105PE - PoE Passtru works only after Reset-button pressed
I have a GS105PE, it is powered by a UniFi Switch 8 POE-60W, 802.3af.
Then I passtru to a UniFi AP-AC-LITE. I have to push the netgear reset button to get PoE passtru work and the AP are powered up...
Hi Sam,
I got your AP today and it shows class 4.
Therefore, it's correct behavior that it can't be power up by GS105PE in your case since GS105PE is powered by 802.3af PSE.
In your case, if you want your AP can be powered up by GS105PE, please connect 802.3at PSE to GS105PE PD port.
Support said FedEx Label was sent to you but still no shipment.
Could you please deliver your AP to us ASAP? Thanks.

Hi Sam,
By the way, if the AP is class 1 or 2, then, it can be powered up in your current case.
Vendor information of PoE equipment is often lacking when it comes to the exact requirements and implementation. Of course, reserving Class 4 even if the device does never use the power is the most cheepo approach.
Still a little bit unclear why the switch does power the device following a plain simple reset.
Thanks for clarifying. As schumaku says, its a bit unclear why it powers up after a reset...
Unify needs to learn their developers about PoE Classes I guess, and not taking the shortcut.
Thanks DanioY for your support. I'm looking forward to get my AP back again, after the testing-roundtrip... :)
I'll post an update in UniFi forum pointing here...

I tried to reproduce your issue - the switch power the device following a plain simple reset.
Version of FW: 1.5.0.4, Boot loader: V1.4.0.5.
I couldn't reproduce it.
Checking with our R&D, he said the issue has been fixed.
Could you please tell us your FW and boot loader version?
