2.1 Product Description

The PLANET WGSW-2620PV PoE Switch features Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which optimizes the
installation and power management of network devices such as wireless access points (AP), Voice over
IP (VoIP) phones, and security video cameras. Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) capabilities reduce
installation costs for many new network productivity devices. It frees the wireless AP deployment from
restrictions due to power outlet locations. Power and data switching are integrated into one unit and
delivered over a single cable, eliminating costs for additional AC wiring and reducing installation time.
With twenty-four 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports, two GbE copper ports and two shared SFP / copper GbE
interface, PLANET WGSW-2620PV boasts a high performance switch architecture that is capable of
providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 8.8Gbps. Its four built-in GbE
uplink ports also offer incredible extensibility, flexibility and connectivity to the Core switch or Servers.
The IEEE 802 standard-based firmware provides a rich set of features and ensures interoperability with
equipment from other vendors. Additionally, the firmware includes advanced features such as IGMP
snooping, broadcast storm control, and MAC address filtering, to enhance security and bandwidth
utilization.
2.1.1 Product Overview
With its built-in web-based management, the PLANET WGSW-2620PV offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The PLANET WGSW-2620PV supports
standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based

and the console port.
An optional power supply, the USP-400, can be chosen as UPS or redundant power for WGSW-2620PV.
The WGSW-2620 can take electrical power from the AC outlet, the UPS-400 and both for redundant. The
UPS-400 supports 400 watts of electrical power, once the AC power shut off, the UPS-400 then take over
as the UPS power supply for WGSW-2620PV and keep the switch and the connected powered devices
working.
