1.2 Product Description

Ideal Combination of Power over Ethernet Solution and Layer 3 Static Routing
The WGSW-48040HP is PLANET’s first one 48-port Layer 2 Plus 802.3at PoE Managed Gigabit Switch, which provides high
density performance and supports IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 3 static routing. The WGSW-48040HP has 48 IEEE 802.3at PoE+
ports and PoE budget up to 600 watts for catering to medium to large scale of VoIP or IP Surveillance networks at a lower total
cost.
Centralized Power Management for Gigabit Ethernet PoE Networking
To fulfill the needs of higher power required PoE network applications with Gigabit speed transmission, the WGSW-48040HP
features high-performance Gigabit IEEE 802.3af PoE (up to 15.4 watts) and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30 watts) on all ports. It
perfectly meets the need of PoE VoIP phone or PoE IP camera such as IR, PTZ and speed dome cameras or even box type IP
cameras with built-in fan and heater for high power consumption.
The PoE capabilities provided also help to reduce deployment costs for network devices as a result of freeing from restrictions
of power outlet locations. Power and data switching are integrated into one unit, delivered over a single cable and managed
centrally. It thus eliminates cost for additional AC wiring and reduces installation time.
Solution for IPv6 Networking
Faced with the increasingly large number of IP cameras and Wireless APs are installed and deployed in all kinds of applications,
more and more network facilities start to support the IPv6 protocol for the next-generation networking. The WGSW-48040HP
supports both the IPv4 and IPv6 management functions. With easy and friendly management interfaces and plenty of
management functions included, the WGSW-48040HP is the best choice for IP surveillance and wireless service providers to
connect with the IPv6 network.
Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Surveillance Management
As a Managed PoE Switch for surveillance network, the WGSW-48040HP features special PoE Management functions:
PD Alive Check
Scheduled Power Recycling
SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert
PoE Schedule
Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The WGSW-48040HP can be configured to monitor connected PD (Powered Device) status in real-time via ping action. Once
11
User’s Manual of WGSW-48040HP
the PD stops working and it is without response, the WGSW-48040HP 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 reduce
administrator management burden.
Scheduled Power Recycling
The WGSW-48040HP allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras to reboot in a specific time each week. Therefore, it will
reduce the chance of IP camera crash resulting from buffer overflow.
PoE Schedule for Energy Saving
Besides being used as an IP Surveillance, the WGSW-48040HP is certainly applicable to construct any PoE network including
VoIP and wireless LAN. Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to the environmental protection on the
Earth, the WGSW-48040HP 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 SMB or Enterprise save power and money.
SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert
Though most NVR or camera management software offers SMTP email alert function, the WGSW-48040HP further provides
event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection,
loss of PoE power or the rebooting response by PD Alive Check process.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGSW-48040HP can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic Port link aggregation,
Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and
IGMP/MLD Snooping. The WGSW-48040HP provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally
12
User’s Manual of WGSW-48040HP
up to 255. Via the aggregation of supporting ports, the WGSW-48040HP allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining
multiple ports and supports fail-over as well.
IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN Routing for Securable and Flexible Management
To help customers stay on top of their businesses, the WGSW-48040HP switch not only provides ultra high transmission
performance and excellent layer 2 technologies, but also offers IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over the
different VLANs and different IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly secured, flexible management and simpler
networking application.
Enhanced Security
The WGSW-48040HP offers a comprehensive 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 of 802.1x Port-based and MAC-based user and
device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user
privacy. The WGSW-48040HP 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.
Efficient and Secure Management
For efficient management, the WGSW-48040HP Managed Switch is equipped with console, WEB and SNMP management
interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the WGSW-48040HP offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The WGSW-48040HP supports standard Simple Network

1. 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.
2. Port 45 to Port 48 are a shared SFP slot that supports the Gigabit and Fast Ethernet SFP
transceiver.
In the installation steps below, this Manual uses Gigabit SFP transceiver as an example. However,
the steps for Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver are similar.

1. Before we connect the WGSW-48040HP to the other network device, we have to make sure both sides of the SFP
transceivers are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
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 interface support 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.
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Console
Web Browser
SNMP Agent
No IP address or subnet needed

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
(serial) port.

RJ-45 DB9 RS-232 Cable
Figure 3-1-1: Console Management
PC / Workstation with
Terminal Emulation Software
Serial Port
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 DB9 RS-232 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
32
User’s Manual of WGSW-48040HP
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.

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.

IE Browser
192.168.0.x
Managed Switch
RJ-45/UTP-Cable
IP Address
192.168.0.100
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
net Explorer 7.0 or later, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.

3.5 SNMP-based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMP 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 Net-work
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 getting and setting community strings for the Managed Switch is public.

4. WEB CONFIGURATION

This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management from Managed Switch.
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 7.0. 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, IE7.0 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 with 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 Managed Switch
1. Use Internet Explorer 7.0 or above Web browser. Enter the factory-default IP address to access the Web interface. The
factory-default IP Address is shown as follows:
