User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power simultaneously with PoE?
The EWS7928P-FIT features a 240W PoE budget distributed across all 24 ports, allowing it to power multiple PoE devices concurrently. The actual number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, with IEEE 802.3af devices drawing up to 15.4W and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ devices drawing up to 30W per port. The switch automatically negotiates power delivery with each connected device, ensuring efficient power allocation across your network.
What types of uplink connections does this switch support?
This switch provides four SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slots that support 1000Base-X fiber optic connections for uplinks to core switches or network segments. These slots accept standard SFP transceivers for various fiber types including multi-mode and single-mode, enabling flexible uplink configurations based on distance requirements and existing infrastructure. The SFP slots complement the 24 copper RJ-45 ports, providing both copper and fiber connectivity options in a single switch.
What management options are available for this switch?
The EWS7928P-FIT offers hybrid management through three primary methods: cloud-based management via the EnGenius cloud platform with no recurring licensing fees, local web interface for traditional browser-based configuration, and mobile app management using the EnGenius mobile application. This multi-approach design allows network administrators to choose the management style that best fits their operational preferences, whether they prefer centralized cloud visibility, on-premise control, or mobile device management for quick adjustments.
Is this switch suitable for VLAN segmentation?
Yes, as a Layer 2 managed switch, the EWS7928P-FIT supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for network segmentation. This allows you to create separate virtual LANs for different departments, device types, or security zones within your network. VLAN support enables traffic isolation between groups, improves network security by limiting broadcast domains, and allows for more efficient bandwidth utilization while maintaining all devices on the same physical switch infrastructure.
What is the switching capacity of this model?
The EWS7928P-FIT delivers 56 Gbps of switching capacity, providing ample bandwidth for simultaneous full-duplex traffic across all ports. This non-blocking architecture ensures that even with multiple high-bandwidth applications running concurrently, such as video streaming, large file transfers, and VoIP communications, the switch maintains optimal performance without packet loss or latency issues that could impact network operations.
What comes included for rack mounting installation?
The package includes a complete rack mount kit with all necessary hardware for installing the switch in a standard 19-inch server rack. The kit typically includes rack ears that attach to the switch chassis and appropriate mounting screws for securing the unit to rack posts. The switch itself measures 1.73 inches (1U) in height, making it compatible with standard rack units, while its 17.32-inch width ensures proper fit within 19-inch rack frames commonly used in server rooms and network closets.
