Ideal, Cost-effective, Manageable PoE Solution for Hardened Environment

Designed to be installed in heavy industrial demanding environments, the IGS-4215-4P4T is the new generation of PLANET Industrial-grade, DIN-rail type L2/L4 Managed Gigabit PoE+ Switch featuring PLANET intelligent PoE functions to improve the availability of critical business applications. It provides IPv6/IPv4 dual stack management and built-in L2/L4 Gigabit switching engine along with 4 10/100/1000BASE-T ports featuring 30-watt 802.3at PoE+ and 4 additional Gigabit copper ports. The IGS-4215-4P4T is able to operate reliably, stably and quietly in any environment without affecting its performance. It comes with a total power budget of up to 144 watts for different kinds of PoE applications and operating temperature ranging from -40 to 75 degrees C in a rugged IP30 metal housing.

  

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management

As it is the managed PoE switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the IGS-4215-4P4T features the following special PoE management functions:

 

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check

The IGS-4215-4P4T can be configured to monitor connected PD (Powered Device) status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the IGS-4215-4P4T 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 and reducing administrator management burden.

  

Scheduled Power Recycling

The IGS-4215-4P4T allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specific time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crash resulting from buffer overflow.

  

PoE Schedule for Energy Saving

Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the IGS-4215-4P4T 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 budget. It also increases security by powering off PDs that should not be in use during non-business hours.

  

PoE Usage Monitoring and Intelligent LED Indicator for Real-time PoE Usage

Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the IGS-4215-4P4T 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. Moreover, the IGS-4215-4P4T helps users to monitor the current status of PoE power usage easily and efficiently via its advanced LED indication. Called “PoE Power Usage”, the front panel of the IGS-4215-4P4T has four LED indicators of different power usages.

  

Environmentally Hardened Design

With the IP30 aluminum industrial case, the IGS-4215-4P4T provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets without air conditioner. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the IGS-4215-4P4T can be placed in almost any difficult environment.

 

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IGS-4215-4P4T helps the system integrators to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 network is set up.

 

Robust Layer 2 Features

The IGS-4215-4P4T can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Loop and BPDU Guard, IGMP Snooping, and MLD Snooping. Via the link aggregation, the IGS-4215-4P4T allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports such as a 16Gbps fat pipe, and supports fail-over as well. Also, the Link 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 IGS-4215-4P4T 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/multicast/unicast storm control, per port bandwidth control, 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance in VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.

 

Friendly and Secure Management

For efficient management, the IGS-4215-4P4T is equipped with web, Telnet and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in web-based management interface, the IGS-4215-4P4T offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. By supporting the standard SNMP, the switch can be managed via any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet. Moreover, the IGS-4215-4P4T offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.
