Introduction
Overview of APS Series Layer 2+ SNMP Managed PoE+ Switches
APS Series switch models offer flexible port configurations, with combinations of 1000Base-T
10/100/1000mbps RJ-45, paired 1000Base-T/SFP arrays (with the SFP slot supporting 100Mbps or
1Gbps mini-GBIC modules), unpaired SFP slots (also supporting 100Mbps or 1Gbps mini-GBIC
modules), and SFP+ slots for 1Gbps or 10Gbps mini-GBIC modules. Port densities range from 10 to
48 ports.
All APS series switches provide IEEE 802.3af and the latest 802.3at ‘PoE+’ Power over Ethernet. With
all RJ-45 ports supporting PoE+, devices such as IP Phones and Wireless Access Points can now
connected directly to the network with data and power supplied over a single UTP cable, reducing
deployment and maintenance costs and making it much easier to install devices exactly where they
are required. With APS series support of 802.3at PoE+, up to 30 watts power can be supplied per
port, so power hungry devices such as Pan Tilt Zoom IP Security Cameras can be connected directly
to the network. Whatever your PoE requirement may be, the APS series offers a solution with
individual models supporting from 8 to 48 PoE+ ports
All models in the range feature advanced Layer 2+ management functions, ensuring the high
performance required by modern networks supporting data voice and video applications. An
intuitive web GUI management interface can be accessed via HTTP or HTTPS. SNMP versions 1, 2 and
3 are supported as well as RMON, allowing the network administrator to manage, configure and
control the switch from any SNMP based software application. Console port, and CLI are also
supported. A dual IPv4/IPv6 protocol stack is provided, supporting a wide range of IPv6 applications
including Web/SSL, Telnet/SSH, ping, SNTP, TFTP, SNMP, RADIUS and Syslog. Other supported
functions include: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) trunking; VLAN, IGMP and MLD; Link
Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP); v1 and v2 SSH, IP source Guard, RADIUS/ and Access
Control Lists (ACLs).
APS series switches comply with the latest IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Green Ethernet standard to
minimise power usage, with features such as Link Detection and Cable Length Detection are
supported. Link Detection automatically turns the power off/on to individual ports depending on
link/idle traffic status. Cable Length Detection adjusts the signal strength based on the length of the
cable - when using shorter cables the power consumption is reduced.
