2. Installation
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Switch’s
components and guides you to how to install it on the desk. Basic knowledge of
networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
High Power PoE for Security and Public Service Applications
To fulfill the demand of High Power PoE for network applications with Gigabit speed
transmission under wide temperature, the IGS-504HPT and IGS-624HPT provide 4
10/100/1000Mbps ports featuring both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at Power over
Ethernet Plus (PoE+) that combine up to 30-watt power output and data per port
over one Cat.5E / 6 Ethernet cable.
With a total of up to 120 watts of PoE output capability, the IGS-504HPT and IGS-
624HPT are designed specifically to satisfy the growing demand of higher power
consuming network PDs (powered devices) such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) speed
dome network cameras, multi-channel (802.11a / b / g / n) wireless LAN access
points and other PoE network devices by providing double PoE power, rather than
the current conventional 802.3af PoE.
Environmentally Hardened Design
The IGS-504HPT and IGS-624HPT are equipped with rugged IP30 metal case for
easy deployment in heavy Industrial demanding environments. With IP30 metal
case protection, the IGS-504HPT and IGS-624HPT provide a high level of immunity
against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually
found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. Being able to operate
in the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the IGS-504HPT and IGS-
624HPT can be placed in almost any difficult environment. The IGS-504HPT and
IGS-624HPT allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet
space.
Adjustable 6-Port Switch Mode or 4 + 2 Fiber Redundant Mode
Via the built-in DIP switch, the IGS-624HPT can be configured as 6-Port Ethernet
switch or 4+2 fiber redundant mode. With the 6-port switch mode, the IGS-
624HPT can operate in Store-and-Forward mechanism with high performance; on
the other hand, when in the 4+2 fiber redundant mode, it provides rapid fiber
redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode
also supports auto-recovering function. If the destination port of a packet is link
down, it will forward the packet to the other port of the backup pair.
