Does it need a license?

No. Instant On switches are managed free from the mobile app, web GUI or cloud portal, with nothing to renew.

What is the PoE budget?

370W in total across the Class 4 PoE ports under IEEE 802.3at, enough for a mixed deployment of phones, access points and cameras.

Smart-managed, web UI or app. Web-based GUI, CLI, Cloud-based Instant On Controller.

What is the difference from the JL686B?

They are hardware revisions of the same switch. If you are matching an existing deployment, order the exact revision you already run; for a new install either revision is fine.

How many ports and uplinks?

Forty-eight Gigabit PoE+ ports plus four SFP/SFP+ uplinks that run at 1G or 10G.
