Centralized Power Management for Gigabit Ethernet PoE Networking

To fulfill the needs of higher power required PoE network applications with Gigabit speed transmission, the GS-5220 features IEEE 802.3at PoE+ that combines up to 36 watts of power output and data per port over one Cat5E/6 Ethernet cable. It is designed specifically to meet the demand of higher power consuming network PD (powered device) such as IR, PTZ, speed dome cameras or even box-type IP camera with a built-in fan and heater. Compliant with both 802.3at and 802.3af, it allows more flexibility in power requirement for a variety of PDs.

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Surveillance Management

As a managed PoE Switch for surveillance network, the GS-5220 features four special PoE management functions:

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

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check

The GS-5220 can be configured to monitor connected PD status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and has no response, the GS-5220  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 reduces administrator management burden.

Scheduled Power Recycling

The GS-5220 allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras to reboot in a specific time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera crash resulting from buffer overflow. 

PoE Schedule for Energy Saving

Besides IP surveillance, the GS-5220 is certainly applicable to construct any PoE network including VoIP and wireless LAN. Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environment protection on the Earth, the GS-5220 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.

IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management 

To help customer stay on top of business, the GS-5220 not only offers ultra high transmission performance, but also IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over different VLAN groups and IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexible management.
