PoE Schedule for Energy Savings
Under the global trend of energy saving and contributing to environmental protection, the IGS-4215-4UP4T2S 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, which 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.
802.3bt PoE++ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Distance Extension
In the “Extend” operation mode, the IGS-4215-4UP4T2S operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps duplex operation but can support 83-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 IGS-4215-4UP4T2S provides an additional solution for 802.3at/af PoE distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation.
Intelligent LED Indicators for Real-time PoE Usage Monitoring
Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the IGS-4215-4UP4T2S 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. Moreover, the IGS-4215-4UP4T2S helps users to monitor the current status of PoE power usage easily and efficiently via its advanced LED indication. Called “PoE Power Usage”, the front panel of the IGS-4215-4UP4T2S has four amber LEDs indicating four different PoE power usages, namely 60W, 120W, 180W and 240W.
