VLAN Support for Isolated Traffic and Security
Virtual LANs (VLANs) offer the logical grouping technique to separate the physical ports of Ethernet switch. It can
separate private network into several parts for different users. If there are too many computers or networking
devices in the same network segment, it will result in heavy traffics locally. Besides, VLANs provide enhanced
network security that network administrators can control over each port and whatever resources it is allowed to
use.
The WGR-500 Series supports 802.1Q VLAN to separate traffic of users and IoT devices and can work as an
intelligent traffic forwarder to control traffic and isolate connections of two groups. It will not only optimize
bandwidth but also improve network security.
Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management
The WGR-500 Series is capable of having a maximum of up to 120 watts of power output and can deliver up to
36W for each port. It also features the following special PoE management functions:
PoE usage monitoring
With PoE usage monitoring, it can show the PoE loading of each port, total PoE power usage and system
status, such as overload, low voltage, over voltage and high temperature. User can obtain detailed
information about the real-time PoE working condition of the WGR-500-4P directly.
PoE schedule
Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the WGR-500-4P
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 budget. It also
increases security by powering off PDs that should not be in use during non-business hours.
