NETGEAR Strengthens Switch Portfolio With New 16-Port PoE+ Models That Support Larger PoE Budgets, Enhanced Security and an Intuitive User Interface - Seite 2

Turning on or off a PoE port or maintaining power to connected devices during a switch reboot is made easier via a new intuitive browser-based User Interface (UI). PoE scheduling allows the creation of customized schedules to control when PoE connected devices are powered on/off automatically to enhance network security, better utilize network resources, and conserve energy.

The responsive and user-friendly web browser-based UI makes it easier to enable L2 network features like VLANs and Network QoS (Quality of Service). Advanced per port PoE controls, including power allocation override, PoE scheduling, and remote enable/disable/power cycle, can be accessed through the web UI. The compact size of the switches makes them suitable for desktop or wall-mount placement. Additionally, the two new switches also have one SFP fiber port for a long-distance uplink to a core switch, or to connect to another non-PoE device that may be located more than 100 meters away.

“Small and Medium Business owners pick NETGEAR because we offered them robust, reliable, and easy to operate network switches at very cost-effective price points; and we make these products easy to acquire through popular e-Commerce channels like Amazon”, said Alexandra Mehat, Director of Product Marketing for SMB, NETGEAR. “With the GS316EP and GS316EPP we’ve retained all those positives while packing a bigger PoE budget, enhancing security, and making it even simpler to setup and operate these switches.”
