Innovative Wall-mount Installation
The WGS managed series is specially designed to be installed in a narrow environment, such as wall enclosure or electric weak
box. The compact, flat and wall-mounted design fits easily in any space-limited location. It adopts the user-friendly “Front
Access” design, making the installing, cable wiring, LED monitoring and maintenance of the wall-mount managed switch placed
in an enclosure very convenient for technicians. The WGS managed series can be installed by fixed wall mounting, magnetic
wall mounting or DIN rail, thereby making its usability more flexible.
Dual Power Input for High Availability Network System
The WGS managed series (WGS-804HPT, WGS-4215-8T and WGS-4215-8T2S) features a strong dual power input system
incorporated into customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime. In the example below, when the
3-pin terminal block fails to work, the hardware failover function will be activated automatically to keep powering the WGS
managed series via the DC plug power alternatively without any loss of operation.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the WGS managed series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest
investment as its network facilities need not to be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.

Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGS managed series 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 WGS managed series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk
to combine with multiple ports such as a 16Gbps fat pipe, 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.
Efficient Traffic Control
The WGS managed series is loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to
business-class data, voice, and video solutions. The functionality includes broadcast / multicast storm control, per port
bandwidth control, IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream
transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Powerful Security
PLANET WGS managed series offers comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing
security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address,
TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises 802.1X port-based user and
device authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS to ensure the port level security and block illegal users. With the
Protected Port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore, Port
Security function allows to limit the number of network devices on a given port.
Advanced Network Security
The WGS managed series also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to
prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now
construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Friendly and Secure Management
For efficient management, the WGS managed series is equipped with Web, Telnet and SNMP management interfaces. With
the built-in Web-based management interface, the WGS managed series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent
management and configuration facility. By supporting the standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the switch
can be managed via any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet.
Moreover, the WGS managed series offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMPv3 connections
which encrypt the packet content at each session.
Perfect Managed PoE+ Switch
PLANET WGS PoE managed series is the new generation of PLANET Managed Gigabit PoE+ Switch featuring PLANET
intelligent PoE functions to improve the availability of critical business applications. It provides a quick, safe and cost-effective
Power over Ethernet network solution to IP security surveillance for small businesses and enterprises.
Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management
As a managed PoE Switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the WGS PoE managed series features special PoE
Management functions:
PD alive check
Scheduled power recycling
PoE schedule
PoE usage monitoring
Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The WGS PoE managed series can be configured to monitor connected PD (Powered Device) status in real time via ping action.
Once the PD stops working and responding, the WGS PoE managed series will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD
back to work. It 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 WGS PoE managed series allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a
specific time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crash resulting from buffer overflow.
PoE Schedule for Energy Saving
Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the WGS PoE managed series 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 WGS PoE managed series 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.

Flexibility and Extension Solution
The WGS-4215 Series provides two dual-speed fiber SFP slots, it can also connect with the 100BASE-FX / 1000BASE-SX/LX
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceiver and then to backbone switch and monitoring center over a long distance.
The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers
(single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The WGS-4215 Series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to
easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias
current and transceiver supply voltage.
