Standard, VLAN and Extend Operation Modes Oered
The  GSD/GSW  802.3at  PoE+  Switch  series  provides  Standard,  VLAN  and  Extend 
operation modes. The GSD/GSW 802.3at PoE+ Switch series operates as a normal 
IEEE  802.af/at  PoE  Switch  in  the  Standard  operation  mode.  The  VLAN  operation 
mode  features  the  port-based  VLAN  function  that  can  help  to  prevent  the  IP 
camera’s multicast or broadcast storm from inuencing each other.

In the Extend operation mode, the GSD/GSW 802.3at PoE+ Switch series operates 
on  a  per-port  basis  at  10Mbps  duplex  operation  but  can  support  20-watt  PoE 
power output over a distance of up to 250 meters overcoming the 100m limit on 
Ethernet  UTP  cable.  With  this  brand-new  feature,  the  GSD/GSW  Series  provides 
an additional solution for 802.3af/at PoE distance extension, thus saving the cost 
of  Ethernet  cable  installation.  Its  VLAN  isolation  function  isolates  ports  so  as  to 
prevent broadcast storm and defend DHCP spoong in the Extend operation mode.
