Switches
Optimal Performance, Enterprise Features &
Robust Management Options
Neutron Series EWS Managed Gigabit Switches offer enterprise-
class features, simplied network conguration, monitoring, and
management options and optimal network performance for small
to mid-size organizations.
Choose between 8-, 24-, and 48-Gigabit ports and standard or
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+)-ready Layer 2 switches with SFP ports.
EWS Managed Switch model options also include desktop and rack
mountable, fanless and SmartFan designs.
EWS Managed Gigabit Switches support easy deployment and
operation. Organizations with limited IT support and budgets can
create a reliable, efciently managed network in no time.

High-Speed Gigabit
Provide reliable Gigabit access for networked devices and reduce
delays that interrupt communications. The switch’s SFP slots
are suitable for connecting wired network segments throughout
buildings that extend beyond the limitations of Ethernet cabling.
Power & Connect Multiple Devices
Optimize the installation and power management of network
devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones by
providing 802.3at/af PoE+ power and data on all ports. Regulate
power budgets according to device requirements and remotely
power cycle individual ports.
In-Depth Network Visibility
Network Topology View automatically maps the network
deployment to display device relationships across the infrastructure.
Troubleshoot issues without manual tracking, and access the
management interface of other EWS Switches directly from
Topology View with QuickLink.

Network Trafc Management
Neutron full-featured Layer 2 Switches offer performance-enhancing
features that reduce multicasting trafc, speed up port blocking and
port forwarding, and increase bandwidth via load balancing. Control
each port’s available bandwidth speeds for connected devices like
APs in areas where more or less speed is needed, such as in lobbies
or conference rooms.
Added Bonus: License-Free Access Point &
Remote Management
Locally Manage Wireless Access Points With On-Board
Tools
Quickly discover, congure and monitor Neutron EWS Access Points
and manage up to 50 APs within the local subnet, license-free,
through the switch’s suite of wireless management features.
Centrally Manage Wired & Wireless Devices via ezMaster
Manage Neutron EWS Access Points, Switches, and IP Cameras
through ezMaster Network Management Software for remote,
centralized management of hundreds of EWS devices across the
network or multiple sites regardless of size or location without
licensing or subscription fees.

VLAN/Voice & Quality of Service
Segment the network by departments or trafc types for increased
performance and security with 802.1Q VLAN. While 802.1p Class
of Service prioritizes compliant VoIP and video trafc ensuring
bandwidth intensive, time-sensitive data is forwarded immediately
for clear, smooth voice and video delivery.
Access Control & Security
Protect the network via 802.1X port-based client authentication
and security through a RADIUS server. Utilizing Access Control
Lists (ACLs), administrators can see who has access to network
segments while screening trafc from unauthorized MAC or IP
addresses. Establish a Guest VLAN to grant and limit Internet
resources for visitors while keeping the network secure.
Network Monitoring & Troubleshooting
Enable 3rd party SNMP management and monitor the network’s
performance by viewing port statistics, system logs, and RMON
data. Perform port diagnostics through Ping Tests, diagnose
cable failure and trace the route data takes through the network to
troubleshoot slowdowns or connection issues.
Simplied Device Management
Centralized device management is easy through both the switch’s
on-board tools and ezMaster Software. Group Neutron devices for
streamlined conguration, provisioning and monitoring; view wired
and wireless trafc via a comprehensive at-a-glance dashboard and
get rich analytics and reporting.
