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

PLANET’s WGS-5225-8P2S, Industrial Wall-mount PoE Managed Switch, provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T ports featuring 36-watt PoE and two additional 1000BASE-X SFP ports. It provides IPv6/IPv4 dual stack management and built-in L2+/L4 Gigabit switching engine. The switch provides a total power budget of up to 240 watts for different kinds of PoE applications. The compact but rugged IP30 metal housing supports network speed and operating temperature range from -40 to 75°C. The WGS-5225-8P2S is an ideal solution to meet the demand for the following network applications:

• IP surveillance
• Internet of things (IoT)
• Building/Home automation network

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The WGS-5225-8P2S 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, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and a redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In a certain simple ring network, the recovery time of a data link can be as fast as 20ms.

Convenient and Smart ONVIF Devices with Detection Feature

PLANET’s ONVIF Support is specifically designed for co-operating with video IP surveillances. From the WGS-5225-8P2S’s GUI, you can search and show all of the ONVIF devices via  the network application with just one click. In addition, you can upload floor images to the switch and can remotely monitor or inspect an assembly line. The PoE reboot can be controlled from the GUI and can get real-time surveillance information and online/offline status.

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management

The WGS-5225-8P2S features the following special PoE management functions:

• PD alive check
• PoE schedule
• PoE usage monitoring
• Scheduled power recycling

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check

The WGS-5225-8P2S can be configured to monitor connected PD status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the WGS-5225-8P2S will resume the PoE port power and power back up the PD. It will greatly enhance network reliability through PoE port resetting the PDs power source and reducing administrator management burden.

Scheduled Power Recycling

The WGS-5225-8P2S allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specific time each week. This will reduce the chance of IP camera’s or AP’s from crashing as a result of buffer overflow.

PoE Schedule for Energy Saving

The WGS-5225-8P2S is environmentally friendly and can effectively control the power supply while still giving high watts of power. The PoE schedule function helps you enable or disable PoE power feeding for each PoE port during specified time intervals. This 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 used during non-business hours.

Innovative Wall-mount Installation

The WGS-5225-8P2S is specially designed to be installed in a narrow environment, such as wall enclosure or electric weak box. The compact, flat and wall-mounted design fits easily in any small location. It adopts the user-friendly front access design, making the installation, cable wiring, LED monitoring and maintenance convenient for technicians. The WGS-5225-8P2S can be installed by fixed wall mounting, magnetic wall mounting or DIN rail, thereby making its usability more flexible.

SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert

The WGS-5225-8P2S provides event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection, or the rebooting response.

Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 Software VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management

To help customers stay on top of their businesses, the WGS-5225-8P2S not only provides ultra high transmission performance and excellent Layer 2 technologies, but also IPv4/IPv6 software VLAN routing feature which allows to crossover different VLANs and different IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexible management and simpler networking application.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The WGS-5225-8P2S 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-5225-8P2S provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 255. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the WGS-5225-8P2S 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.

Efficient Management

For efficient management, the WGS-5225-8P2S is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the WGS-5225-8P2S offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. For text-based management, the WGS-5225-8P2S can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, it also offers secure remote management via any standard-based management software by supporting SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.

Powerful Security

The WGS-5225-8P2S offers a 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 and MAC-based user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Modbus TCP Provides Flexible Network Connectivity for Factory Automation

With the supported Modbus TCP/IP protocol, the WGS-5225-8P2S can easily integrate with SCADA systems, HMI systems and other data acquisition systems in factory floors. It enables administrators to remotely monitor the industrial Ethernet switch’s operating information, port information and communication status, thus easily achieving enhanced monitoring and maintenance of the entire factory.

Flexibility and Extension Solution

The additional four mini-GBIC slots built in the WGS-5225-8P2S support dual 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 10/50/70/120 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-5225-8P2S 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.

1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks

The WGS-5225-8P2S is ideal for telecom and Carrier Ethernet applications, supporting MEF service delivery and timing over packet solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.
