Easy to install
An intuitive web user interface makes
Business Ethernet Switch 1000 setup
and administration easy. Plug-and-play
capabilities such as Auto-negotiation of
speed and duplex mode, Auto-MDI/
MDIX, color-coded status LEDs, as
well as support for a default IP address
and BootP for automatic IP address
allocation make the installation and
setup process simple. Users also have
the power to set up advanced features
such as VLANs, PoE and RADIUS in
the most economical way to facilitate
a truly powerful, secure, reliable and
converged network.
Simple to manage
Managing the Business Ethernet Switch
1000 family is made easy through the
Nortel Business Element Manager.
This powerful tool enables simplified
management for the entire Nortel SMB
portfolio — including the Business
Ethernet Switch 1000 family —
through the use of one consistent,
familiar GUI. It’s a non-stop solution
that enables you to operate, adminis-
trate, manage and provision your entire
network from one desktop computer.
Convenient to add
end-user devices
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported
on both the Business Ethernet Switch
1020-24T PWR and the Business
Ethernet Switch 1020-48T PWR
models. This feature enables the
switches to provide power to PoE-ready
devices such as Voice over IP (VoIP)
handsets or wireless LAN access points
and security cameras — all through a
single Ethernet cable, resulting in not
only significant cost savings but also
ease of use and convenience.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Business Ethernet Switch 1000 supports
voice, data, video and other emerging
applications on one high-capacity,
high-performance platform. To make
convergence truly a reality, Business
Ethernet Switch 1000 delivers the
performance required for applications
like IP telephony, multimedia and
collaboration with an advanced mecha-
nism to classify, process and expedite
traffic based on an application’s require-
ment. Combined with wire-speed
routing and filtering, the Business
Ethernet Switch 1000 ensures QoS to
applications whenever and wherever.
Built-in security
Business Ethernet Switch 1000 provides
extensive security features including
EAP, RADIUS, intrusion control and
destination address filtering. These
features not only add protection for
switch configuration data against unau-
thorized management access, but also
help to segment and secure sensitive
traffic or network access.
