802.3bt PoE++ 95-watt Power over 4-pair UTP Solution
As the GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C adopt the IEEE 802.bt PoE++ standard technology, they are
capable to source up to 95 watts of power by using all the four pairs of standard Cat5e/6 Ethernet cabling to deliver power and
full-speed data to each remote PoE compliant powered device (PD). Their power capability is three times more than that of the
conventional 802.3at PoE+ and they are an ideal solution for those high power consuming network PDs, such as:
PoE PTZ speed dome cameras
Network devices
Thin clients
AIO (all-in-one) touch PCs, point of sale (POS) and information kiosks
Remote digital signage displays
PoE lightings

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management
As the GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C are the managed PoE++ switches for surveillance, wireless
and VoIP networks, they feature the following special PoE management functions:
PD Alive Check
Scheduled Power Recycling
PoE Schedule
PoE Usage Monitoring
PoE Extension
Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C can be configured to monitor connected PD status in real time
via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C
will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD back to work. They will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE
port resetting the PD’s power source and reducing administrator management burden.

Scheduled Power Recycling
The GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C allow 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 trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the GS-4210-8UP2S,
GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C 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. It also increases security by powering
off PDs that should not be in use during non-business hours.
PoE Usage Monitoring
Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C
enable the administrator to monitor the status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time. Thus, they greatly enhance
the management efficiency of the facilities.
802.3at PoE+ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Distance Extension
In the “Extend”operation mode, the GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C operate on a per-port basis at
10Mbps duplex operation but can support 50-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 GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C
provide an additional solution for 802.3at/af PoE distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation.

step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as their network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx
edge network is set up.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The GS-4210-8UP2S, GS-4210-16UP4C and GS-4210-24UP4C can be programmed for advanced switch management
functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP),
loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Via the link aggregation, the GS-4210-16UP4C and
GS-4210-24UP4C allow the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, and supports fail-over as well.
Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about
neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
