1.2 Product Description

Wall-mounted PoE++ Managed Switch with Advanced L2+/L4 Switching and Security

PLANET WGS-4215-8HP2S is an Industrial Wall-mount PoE++ Managed Switch featuring PLANET intelligent PoE functions

to improve the availability of industrial applications. It provides IPv6/IPv4 dual stack management and built-in L2/L4 Gigabit

switching engine along with four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports featuring 95-watt 802.3bt PoE++, four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports

featuring 36-watt 802.3at PoE+ and 2 additional Gigabit TP/SFP combo port. With a total power budget of up to 360 watts for

different kinds of PoE applications, and featuring networking speed and operating temperature ranging from -40 to 75 degrees

C in a compact but rugged IP30 metal housing, the WGS-4215-8HP2S is an ideal solution that meets the demands for all

network applications.

802.3bt PoE++ – 90~95-watt Power over 4-pair UTP Solution

As the WGS-4215-8HP2S adopts the IEEE 802.bt PoE++ standard and PoH technology, it is capable to source up to 95 watts

of power by using all the four pairs of standard Cat5e/6 Ethernet cabling to deliver power and full-speed data to each remote

PoE compliant powered device (PD). It possesses triple amount of power capability than the conventional 802.3at PoE+ and is

an ideal solution to satisfy the growing demand for higher power consuming network PDs, such as:

 PoE PTZ speed dome cameras

 Network devices

 Thin clients

 AIO (all-in-one) touch PCs, point of sale (POS) and information kiosks

 Remote digital signage displays

 PoE lightings

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The WGS-4215-8HP2S supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent

interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection

Switching) technology and Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance

system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments.

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management

As it is the managed PoE switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the WGS-4215-8HP2S features the following

special PoE management functions:

 PD alive check

 Scheduled power recycling

 PoE schedule

 PoE usage monitoring

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check

The WGS-4215-8HP2S can be configured to monitor connected PD status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops

working and responding, the WGS-4215-8HP2S 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 WGS-4215-8HP2S 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 WGS-4215-8HP2S 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.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The WGS-4215-8HP2S can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,

Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP snooping.

The WGS-4215-8HP2S provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 256. Via

aggregation of supporting ports, the WGS-4215-8HP2S allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It

enables a maximum of up to 2 trunk groups with 2 ports per trunk group, and supports fail-over as well.

Network with Cybersecurity Helps Minimize Security Risks

The WGS-4215-8HP2S comes with enhanced cybersecurity to fend off cyberthreats and cyberattacks. It supports SSHv2 and

TLSv1.2 protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. Served as a key point to transmit data to customer's

critical equipment in a business network, the cybersecurity feature of the WGS-4215-8HP2S protects the switch management

and enhances the security of the mission-critical network without any extra deployment cost and effort.

Efficient Management

For efficient management, the WGS-4215-8HP2S is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

 With the built-in Web-based management interface, the WGS-4215-8HP2S offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent

management and configuration facility.

 For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and SSHv2 protocol.

 For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content

at each session for secure remote management.

Powerful Security from Layer 2 to Layer 4

The WGS-4215-8HP2S 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 and device

authentication.

User’s Manual of WGS-4215-8HP2S

Advanced IP Network Protection

The WGS-4215-8HP2S 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 administrators can now construct

highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Flexibility and Extension Solution

The additional two SFP slots built in the WGS-4215-8HP2S support multi-speed, 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP

(Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP

transceiver according to not only the transmission distance but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be

extended from 550 meters (multi-mode fiber) to 20/40/80/120 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 WGS-4215-8HP2S supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to

easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias

current, and transceiver supply voltage.
