It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source and reducing the administrator’s management burden.

Scheduled Power Recycling

The IGS-4215-16P4X allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specified time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crash resulting from buffer overflow.

PoE Schedule for Energy Savings

Under the global trend of energy savings and contributing to environmental protection, the IGS-4215-16P4X can effectively control the power supply besides its capability of giving high watts power. The “PoE schedule” function helps you 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.

802.3at PoE+ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Distance Extension

In the “Extend” operation mode, the IGS-4215-16P4X operates on a per-port basis with a 10Mbps duplex configuration. It can deliver 15-watt PoE power output over a distance of up to 250 meters, exceeding the standard 100-meter Ethernet UTP cable limit. This extended range allows PoE power to be supplied over longer distances without the need for additional cabling or electrical outlets, significantly reducing installation costs while maintaining network reliability.

 

Effective Alarm Alert for Better Protection

The IGS-4215-16P4X incorporates a Fault Alarm feature that promptly notifies users of any issues with the switches. This valuable feature eliminates the need for users to spend time locating the problem, resulting in significant time and human resource savings.
