Configuring Your iPad for Wired Data
There are a couple easy steps for configuring your iPad to get the best results when working with wired data.
First, we’re going to enable USB devices to allow charging even when the iPad is “off” or the screen is locked.
If you you don’t have the most up to date iOS software, take this time to update to iOS 12.2 or later. Otherwise, it will prevent any connected device from charging or communicating with it after the screen has been locked for an hour. Here’s how to fix that:
- Navigate to the Settings tab
- Select Face ID & Passcode
- Ensure the USB Accessories button is toggled to “On” meaning you see the green
You can still set up your iPad to not automatically lock on a timer. When the screen locks if you would like the screen always on.
- Go to the Settings icon on your iPad
- Select Display & Brightness
- Select Auto Lock
- Set the limit to Never
The splitter will auto-configure the IP settings to default as soon as you connect it up including Dynamic IP addressing.
- Navigate to General Settings, then you’ll see a symbol for the LAN <…>
- Select this and you’ll see the option for PoE Texas LAN, select it
You’ll see your IPV4 IP address information. If it shows “Automatic”, that means your getting a dynamically assigned IP address.
If you’d like to reconfigure the IP address, DNS, and HTTP Proxy settings, you can do that by selecting these options.
The most used option will be fixing your IP address by selecting the “Automatic” button.
For the other networks settings, we’d recommend talking to a service provider or give us a call: 512-479-0317 or service@poetexas.com.
Best Practices for iOS Updates
Despite Apple’s excellent reputation for ensuring backward compatibility with their iPads and iPhones, practical experience with a recent iOS update has revealed that even they can miss things which can temporarily lead to disruption of service for your device. If your device must be reliable 24/7, we recommend these following best practices:
- Go to Settings -> General -> Software Updates -> Automatic Updates
- Deselect “Install iPadOS Updates”
- Before choosing to install the next update, please check into our iOS Compatibility Table to check whether we have finished testing the performance of an new iPadOS version

TROUBLESHOOTING
The iPAD Mini 6 Wall Mount is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so. However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:
Not receiving power?
- Check to make sure the integrated USB-C cable is fully connected to the tablet, and to the POE Texas adapter.
- Is your switch/injector rated for the right amount of power?
- The AF-USBC-JB is for 802.3af (15W) POE. The AC-USBC requires 100 to 240 VAC power. Please refer to the adapter’s technical manual for wiring instructions.
- For adapter-specific troubleshooting, please refer to the following online manual links:
- If these steps didn’t solve the problem, give us a call or send us an email so our team can help.
Not receiving power and data, or experiencing data issues?
- Let’s check to make sure the adapter in your kit is the right one for what you need.
- AC-USBC: Power only
- AF-USBC-JB: Power + 10/100 data
- For adapter-specific specifications, please refer to the following online manual links:
- Ensure your Ethernet cable run is under 100 meters (328 feet).
- Under the iPad settings > ‘Face ID & Passcode’ or ‘Touch ID & Passcode’, please make sure the ‘USB Accessories’ or ‘Accessories’ option is turned on. If you are on iOS 26, this has moved to Settings > Privacy & Security > Wired Accessories > Set to Always Allow.
- If these steps didn’t solve the problem, give us a call or send us an email so our team can help.
