1.2 Product Description
Perfect Managed PoE+ Switch with Full PoE+ Power Budget
PLANET GS-4210 PoE series is the new generation of PLANET Managed Gigabit PoE+ Switch featuring PLANET intelligent
PoE functions to improve the availability of critical business applications. It provides a quick, safe and cost-effective Power over
Ethernet network solution to IP security surveillance for small businesses and enterprises.
Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management
As a managed PoE Switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the GS-4210 PoE series features special PoE
Management functions:
PD Alive Check
Scheduled Power Recycling
PoE Schedule
PoE Usage Monitoring
Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The GS-4210 PoE series can be configured to monitor connected PD (Powered Device) status in real time via ping action. Once
the PD stops working and responding, the GS-4210 PoE series 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 and reducing administrator
management burden.
Scheduled Power Recycling
The GS-4210 PoE series allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specific
time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crash resulting from buffer overflow.

User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series
PoE Schedule for Energy Saving
Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the GS-4210 PoE series can
effectively control the power supply besides its capability of giving high watts power. The “PoE schedule” function helps you to
enable or disable PoE power feeding for each PoE port during specified time intervals and it is a powerful function to help SMBs
or enterprises save power and money. It also increases security by powering off PDs that should not be in use during
non-business hours.
PoE Usage Monitoring
Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the GS-4210 PoE series enables the administrator to monitor the
status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time. Thus, it greatly enhances the management efficiency of the
facilities.
Environment-friendly, Smart Fan Design for Silent Operation
The GS-4210 series features a desktop-sized metal housing, a low noise design and an effective ventilation system. It supports
the smart fan technology to automatically control the speed of the built-in fan to reduce noise and maintain the temperature of
the PoE switch for optimal power output capability. The GS-4210 series is able to operate reliably, stably and quietly in any
environment without affecting its performance.
IPv6 / IPv4 Dual Stack
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GS-4210 series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment
as its network facilities need not to be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.

st Layer 2 Features
The GS-4210 series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,
802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), Loop and BPDU Guard, IGMP Snooping, and
MLD Snooping. Via the link aggregation, the GS-4210 series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with
multiple ports such as a 16Gbps fat pipe, and supports fail-over as well. Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the
Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
Efficient Traffic Control
The GS-4210 series is loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to business-class
data, voice, and video solutions. The functionality includes broadcast / multicast storm control, per port bandwidth control, IP
DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers
the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Powerful Security
PLANET GS-4210 series offers comprehensive IPv4 / IPv6 Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing
security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address,
TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises 802.1X port-based user and
device authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS to ensure the port level security and block illegal users. With the
Protected Port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore, Port
Security function allows to limit the number of network devices on a given port.
Advanced Network Security
The GS-4210 series also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP
snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now construct highly
secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Friendly and Secure Management
For efficient management, the GS-4210 series is equipped with console, Web, Tel net and SNMP management interfaces. With
the built-in Web-based management interface, the GS-4210 series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management
and configuration facility. By supporting the standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the switch can be
managed via any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet and the
console port. Moreover, the GS-4210 series offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMPv3
connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.

User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series
Flexibilit
The GS-4210 series provides Gigabit TP/SFP interfaces supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper to connect with
surveillance network devices such as NVR, Video Streaming Server or NAS to facilitate surveillance management. Or through
these dual-speed fiber SFP slots, it can also connect with the 100BASE-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor
Pluggable) fiber transceiver and then to backbone switch and monitoring center over a long distance. The distance can be
extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or
WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
y and Extension Solution
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The GS-4210 series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to
easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias
current and transceiver supply voltage.

It is recommended to use PLANET SFP on the Managed Switch. If you insert an SFP transceiver
that is not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
In the installation steps below, this Manual uses Gigabit SFP transceiver as an example. However,
the steps for Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver are similar.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement.
To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Managed Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or media converters, user has to set
the port Link mode to “1000 Force” or “100 Force”.
Remove the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity anymore.
2. Remove the fiber-optic cable gently.
3. Lift up the lever of the MGB module and turn it to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

3.2 Management Access Overview
The Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods:
An administration console
Web browser interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
The administration console and Web browser interfaces are embedded in the Managed Switch software and are available for
immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three management
methods.

Table 3-1 Comparison of Management Methods
42
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series
3.3 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system
administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration
console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Managed Switch's console port.
Figure 3-1-1: Console Management
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port. When using this
management method, a straight RS-232 to RJ45 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After making this
connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
115200 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Figure 3-1-2: Terminal Parameter Settings
43
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator
such as TIP.
Console interface is not available for the GS-4210-8P2S, GS-4210-48T4S and GS-4210-48P4C.
3.4 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can
access the Managed Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the
Managed Switch.
Figure 3-1-3 Web Management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central location,
just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft
Internet Explorer 8.0 or later, Google Chrome, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.
44
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series
Figure 3-1-4 Web Main Screen of Managed Switch
3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMPc Network
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management
method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network
management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get
community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.

4. WEB CONFIGURATION
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management.
About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-based Management supports Internet Explorer 8.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE8.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set on the same
IP subnet address as the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via console,
then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative configuration on
manager PC.
Figure 4-1-1 Web Management
Logging on the switch
1. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser. Enter the factory-default IP address to access the Web interface. The
factory-default IP address is as follows:
