How To Use This Manual - Planet WGSD-10020 User Manual

The network administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than
before.
Flexibility and Extension Solution
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the WGSD-10020 support Dual-Speed, 100Base-FX and 1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small
Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, that means, the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP
transceiver according to not only the transmission distance but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be
extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). They
are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
Centralized Power Management for Gigabit Ethernet PoE Networking (WGSD-10020HP Only)
To fulfill the needs of higher power required PoE network applications with Gigabit speed transmission, PLANET introduces
new member – WGSDH-10020HP, the 8-Port Gigabit High Power over Ethernet Managed Switch which features high
performance Gigabit IEEE 802.3af PoE (Up to 15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at High-Power PoE (Up to 30.8W) on all ports. By
supporting reliable stacking technology and advanced networking features which optimize the installation and power
management of network devices such as wireless access points (AP), Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, and security video
cameras. The PoE capabilities also help to reduce deployment costs for network devices like the wireless AP as a result of
freeing from restrictions of power outlet locations. Power and data switching are integrated into one unit and delivered over a
single cable. It thus eliminates cost for additional AC wiring and reduces installation time.
