1.2 Product Description
New Generation of Multigigabit PoE+ Managed Switch with Full PoE Power Budget
The MGS-5220-8P2X is PLANETs first Layer 2+ Managed Multigigabit Switch providing 2.5Gbps data rate and PoE over UTP
cables. It is designed for the demand of high-bandwidth required network equipment, such as 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless AP.
Offering a perfect hardware configuration with 8 100/1000/2500BASE-T ports featuring 30-watt 802.3at PoE+, and 2 extra 1/10
Gigabit BASE-X SFP+ fiber slots, the MGS-5220-8P2X breaks the bandwidth limitation of connecting the wireless network
with the wired network. Featuring hardware-based Layer 3 static routing capability, Layer 2 and Layer 4 switching engine,
and PLANET Intelligent PoE functions, it provides a highly-secure, environment-friendly network management and accelerates
the deployment of wireless network infrastructure for enterprises and smart cities.
2.5Gbps Cabability for Diversified Bandwidth Applications
With the terminal access rates of 802.11ac wireless APs reaching as high as 1,200Gbps to 2,600Gbps, Gigabit ports has been
unable to satisfy the demand. Supporting both 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps capability and 802.3af/at POE output, the MGS-5220-8P2X
can deliver not only data to 802.11ac wireless APs, but also power to other powered devices such as APs and IP cameras.
Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management
As it is the managed PoE switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the MGS-5220 Ultra PoE & PoE+ Series features
the following special PoE management functions:
PD alive check
Scheduled power recycling
PoE schedule
PoE usage monitoring
Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The MGS-5220-8P2X can be configured to monitor a connected PD (powered device) status in real time via ping action. Once
the PD stops working and it is without response, the MGS-5220-8P2X will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD back to
work. It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source, thus reducing
administrator management burden.
