no voltage on POE port

Question

HelloI'm looking for some help and advice on working out how to use my Prosafe GS10TP I purchased it to run 3 unfi Wi-Fi discs they require PoE.I cannot get the system to power the devices. I know the discs work because I have a single, stand-alone POE and if I connect it after going through the prosafe the disc works fine.Thank youChris

&gt; You tell me what should it come under?&nbsp;&nbsp; Are we talking about a GS10TP or a GS110TP?&gt; That was the only categories on the drop-down list&nbsp;&nbsp; Which "the drop-down list" was that?&nbsp;&nbsp; Knowing nothing, other than that it's not a router, I put "GS110TP"into the first "Search the Community..." box I found (at:https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Forum/ct-p/en-netgear), and wasled to places like:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/bd-p/business-managed-switches&gt; no voltage on POE port&nbsp;&nbsp; How was this determined?&nbsp; Did you measure the voltage?&gt; I cannot get the system to power the devices. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp; "I cannot" is not a useful problem description.&nbsp; It does not say whatyou did.&nbsp; It does not say what happened when you did it.&nbsp;&nbsp; From my brief reading, I gather that PoE is subject to control by thedevice administrator.&nbsp; The "Smart Switch Software Administration Manual"has a section on "PoE Configuration", for example.&nbsp;&nbsp; Start at http://netgear.com/support/ , put in your model number,select Documentation, download the manual(s) of interest, and peruse?&gt; &gt; [...] unfi Wi-Fi discs [...]&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UniFi?&nbsp; Model?&nbsp; Power requirements?&nbsp; And then, what can the&gt; GS110TP(?) provide?&nbsp;&nbsp; Still wondering.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.What I am trying to do is add, a wireless network to my office, workshop and stores. I purchased unifi long-range Wi-Fi discs (picture enclosed) as they require PoE, I was recommended the netgear prosafe GS510TP (picture enclosed). I have a cable from my modem into port one. What feeds Internet to the other ports, but I am unable to get the PoE to work for the devices.I hope that's a bit more clear . Thanks again for your help

&gt; [...] Wi-Fi discs (picture enclosed) [...]&nbsp;&nbsp; It would be more efficient to provide a simple model number than apicture of anything.&gt; [...] netgear prosafe GS510TP (picture enclosed).&nbsp;&nbsp; Picure not required, only some accurate model information.&nbsp; Whathappened to the GS10TP or GS110TP?&gt; I have a cable from my modem into port one.&nbsp;&nbsp; What "my modem" is might be interesting.&nbsp; "port one" of what?&nbsp; The(uncertain-model) switch?&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UniFi?&nbsp; Model?&nbsp; Power requirements?&nbsp; And then, what can the&gt; &gt; GS110TP(?) provide?&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Still wondering.&nbsp;&nbsp; It shouldn't be this difficult to get an accurate hardware inventory.
