iPad Network POE Settings

Modified on Wed, Jan 3, 2024 at 2:15 PM

Symptom:

iPads becoming unresponsive and going to sleep and dying when running a Redpark adapter for Sonos & Q-SYS.


Solution: 

"If we unplug the Ethernet cable from the switch or patch panel, it will reset the POE adapter in the wall and things will start working again for an indeterminate amount of time until it happens again. 


What I think is causing the problem is there is a setting in iPadOS that was not enabled. 


This setting is under the Settings > FaceID/TouchID & Passcode > Allow access when locked section. The “Accessories” option is not checked by default, meaning that after an hour of the iPad being locked, it is disabling the accessories plugged into it, ie the POE adapter."
