Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management

As it is the managed PoE++ switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the GS-4210-8UP2X 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-4210-8UP2X can be configured to monitor connected PD status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the GS-4210-8UP2X 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 GS-4210-8UP2X 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-4210-8UP2X 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-4210-8UP2X 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-4210-8UP2X operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps duplex operation but can support 50-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-4210-8UP2X provides an additional solution for 802.3at/af PoE distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation.

Environment-friendly, Smart Fan Design for Silent Operation

The GS-4210-8UP2X features a rack-mount metal housing, a low noise design and an effective ventilation system. It supports the smart fan technology that automatically controls the speed of the built-in fan to reduce noise and maintain the temperature of the PoE switch for optimal power output capability. They are able to operate reliably, stably and quietly in any environment without affecting their performance.

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GS-4210-8UP2X 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-4210-8UP2X can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Via the link aggregation, the GS-4210-8UP2X allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, 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 GS-4210-8UP2X is loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to business-class data, voice and video solutions.

Powerful Security

The GS-4210-8UP2X offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access 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 comprises 802.1x Port-based user authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy.

Advanced IP Network Protection

The GS-4210-8UP2X also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrator can now build highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Efficient Management

For efficient management, the GS-4210-8UP2X is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GS-4210-8UP2X offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
• By supporting the standard SNMP protocol, the switch can be managed via any SNMP-based management software.

Flexibility and Long-distance Extension Solution

The GS-4210-8UP2X can disable the PoE function to provide Gigabit TP interfaces supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper for connecting surveillance network devices such as NVRs, Video Streaming Servers, or NAS systems to facilitate surveillance management. Alternatively, through its four-speed fiber SFP+ slots, it features 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX/LX, 2.5G, and 10G SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceivers for uplink to backbone switches and monitoring centers over long distances. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to 10/20/40/60/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). These models are well suited for enterprise data centers and distribution applications.

Additionally, the GS-4210-8UP2X model is available, featuring 8 10/100/1000BASE-T 802.3bt PoE++ ports and 2 10G SFP+ ports, without additional TP ports. This model is ideal for scenarios requiring extensive PoE functionality and high-speed fiber connections.

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The GS-4210-8UP2X supports SFP-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.
