User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 77W across all eight ports. It can power multiple PoE devices simultaneously, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, or IP cameras, as long as the combined power draw does not exceed 77W. Each port supports IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and 802.3at (30W) PoE standards.
Is this switch rack-mountable?
Yes, the GS1900-8HP REV 03F is rack-mountable. While it comes with a wall mount kit, it can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using optional rack ears (not included). Its compact 1U height makes it ideal for space-constrained rack deployments.
What management features does this Layer 2 switch offer?
This smart managed switch provides essential Layer 2 features including VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) for network segmentation, QoS (IEEE 802.1p) for traffic prioritization, Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) for increased bandwidth, and port-based authentication (IEEE 802.1x). It also supports IGMP snooping for multicast traffic management.
Can this switch operate in fanless environments?
Absolutely. The switch is completely fanless, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like offices, classrooms, or healthcare facilities. The passive cooling design ensures reliable operation without moving parts that could fail or generate audible noise.
What is the power consumption of this switch?
The switch has a maximum power consumption of 84.80W, which includes both the switch's operating power and the PoE budget. It supports Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) per IEEE 802.3az, reducing power usage during periods of low network activity to save energy.
What type of warranty comes with this switch?
