Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management
As it is the managed PoE switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the GS-4210 PoE series features the following special PoE management functions:
- PD Alive Check
- Scheduled Power Recycling
- PoE Schedule
- PoE Usage Monitoring
- PoE Extension
Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The GS-4210 PoE series can be configured to monitor connected PD (powered device) status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the GS-4210 PoE series will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD back to work. It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source, thus reducing the administrator’s management burden.
Scheduled Power Recycling
The GS-4210 PoE series allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specified time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crash resulting from buffer overflow.
PoE Schedule for Energy Savings
Under the trend of energy savings worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the GS-4210 PoE series can effectively control the power supply besides its capability of giving high watts power. The“PoE schedule”function helps you to enable or disable PoE power feeding for each PoE port during specified time intervals and it is a powerful function to help SMBs or enterprises save power and money. It also increases security by powering off PDs that should not be in use during non-business hours.
PoE Usage Monitoring
Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the GS-4210 PoE series enables the administrator to monitor the status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time. Thus, it greatly enhances the management efficiency of the facilities.
802.3at PoE+ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Distance Extension
In the“Extend”operation mode, the GS-4210 PoE series operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps duplex operation but can support 30-watt PoE power output over a distance of up to 250 meters overcoming the 100m limit on Ethernet UTP cable. With this brand-new feature, the GS-4210 PoE series provides an additional solution for 802.3at/af PoE distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GS-4210 PoE series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The GS-4210 PoE series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN andQ-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), loop andBPDU guard, IGMP snooping, andMLD snooping. Via the link aggregation, the GS-4210 PoE series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, and supports fail-over as well. Also, theLink Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)is the Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
Efficient Traffic Control
The GS-4210 PoE series is loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to business-class data, voice, and video solutions. The functionality includes broadcast / multicaststorm control, per portbandwidth control, IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Powerful Security
PLANET GS-4210 PoE series offers comprehensiveIPv4/IPv6Layer 2 to Layer 4Access Control List (ACL)for enforcing security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises802.1X port-baseduser and device authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS and TACACS+ to ensure the port level security and block illegal users. With theprotected portfunction, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore,Port securityfunction allows to limit the number of network devices on a given port.
User-friendly and Secure Management
For efficient management, the GS-4210 PoE series is equipped withweb, TelnetandSNMPmanagement interfaces.
- With the built-inWeb-basedmanagement interface, the GS-4210 PoE series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
- Fortext-basedmanagement, the switch can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
- By supporting the standard SNMP, the switch can be managed via any standard management software
Moreover, the GS-4210 PoE series offers secure remote management by supportingSSHv2, TLSv1.2andSNMP v3connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.
Flexibility and Long-distance Extension Solution
The GS-4210-24P4C and GS-4210-24PL4C provide 4 extra Gigabit TP interfaces supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper to connect with surveillance network devices such as NVR, Video Streaming Server or NAS to facilitate surveillance management. Or through thesedual-speed fiber SFP slots,it can also connect with the100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX SFP(Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceiver to uplink to backbone switch and monitoring center in long distance. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to above 10/20/40/60/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The GS-4210 PoE series supportsSFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor)function that can easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP for network administrator, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
