The Long Reach PoE Solution enables all enterprises and network service providers to set up an IP infrastructure in a remote location where 802.3af/at PoE compliant powered devices can receive both data and power via Planet switches, and LRP extenders and injectors over a long distance but not limited to the normal 100 meters.

Long Reach PoE Switch over Coaxial-based Network

The LRP-822CS is a multi-channel Long Reach PoE Switch that extends Ethernet and PoE networking up to 1,000 meters over  existing coaxial cables that connect  to multiple PoE-enabled network applications, such as PoE IP cameras. The LRP-822CS provides IPv6 / IPv4 dual stack management and a built-in L2/L4 Gigabit Switching engine. The unit features 8 BNC ports that support Long Reach PoE, 2 Gigabit copper ports and 2 additional 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber slots. Each BNC port provides 36 watts of power yielding a total power budget of up to 240 watts. The LRP-822CS features intelligent PoE management functions that improve the availability of critical applications. The unit provides a quick, safe and cost-effective PoE network solution to upgrade existing coaxial cable infrastructures from an analog system to an HD IP surveillance system.

Multi-Channel Long Reach Power over Ethernet

The LRP-822CS operates with Long Reach PoE Extenders, such as the LRP-101CE, via its BNC ports. Each of the BNC ports features long range data and power transmission for distances of up to 1,000m (3,280ft) over coaxial cable to an LRP Extender, and an additional 100m over Ethernet cable to an 802.3at/at -compliant powered device (PD). With its centrally-managed 240-watt PoE budget, the LRP-822CS eliminates the need for additional power on remote sites allowing a single power source to provide power to both LRP extenders and the PoE powered devices at long distances. The Long Reach PoE switch simplifies deployment of powered devices reducing the expense of having to install additional power sources at the remote site of a deployment.

Multiple Node Support

Our Long Reach PoE switch solution can easily build a power system for centrally-controlled IP cameras. The unit gives users the flexibility of expanding a small area network with BNC T-connectors to share up to four nodes per port when needed. The LRP-822CS with 8 BNC Long Reach PoE Ports can support up to 32 low-voltage IP cameras. Administrators need to be aware though that the LRP-822CS has a total PoE power budget of up to 240 watts.

Advanced PoE Management

The LRP-822CS features advanced PoE management functions. With Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check, the LRP-822CS will ping inactive Powered Devices (PD) to re-active them.  With the Scheduled Power Recycling, the LRP-822CS will automatically reboot at a pre-specified time to prevent PDs from crashing due to buffer overflow.  The PoE Schedule function allows network administrators to pre-schedule power feeding times for each PoE port.  PoE Usage Monitoring allows the LRP-822CS to monitor the status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time. With its PoE Over-Temperature Protection System, the unit prevents overheating by limiting the amount of output power. The LRP-822CS features a 19-inch metal housing, that offers a noise-free operation with an effective ventilation system. Its smart fan technology automatically controls the speed of its built-in fan to reduce noise and maintain the temperature of the PoE switch.

Powerful Layer 2 Features

The LRP-822CS 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 LRP-822CS allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports such as an 8Gbps 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.

Optimal Traffic Control

The LRP-822CS offers powerful traffic management features with QoS, broadcast / multicast storm control, per port bandwidth control, IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. This preserves the quality for VoIP and video streaming transmission and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.

Maximum Network Security

PLANET LRP-822CS offers comprehensive IPv4 / IPv6 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, which can be deployed with RADIUS to ensure port level security and block illegal users. With the Protected Port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. The Port Security function limits the number of network devices on a given port. The LRP-822CS also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address.

User Friendly Management

The LRP-822CS supports console, Web, Telnet and SNMP management interfaces. With its built-in Web-based management interface, the LRP-822CS offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. By supporting the standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the switch can be managed via any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the LRP-822CS offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.

Long-Distance SFP support

The LRP-822CS provides two Gigabit TP interfaces supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 interfaces. Via its two dual-speed fiber SFP slots, the units can connect with the 100BASE-FX / 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceivers to uplink to the backbone of a switch. Distances can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). The LRP-822CS also 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.
