IEEE 802.3at (GS19008HP/24HP/48HP)
The ZyXEL GS1900 Series of 8/16/24/48-port GbE Smart Managed Switch with Gigabit speed and
essential managing functions bring your business network more exibility and connectivity. The
1900 Series consists of eight (8) models—the GS1900-8, GS1900-8HP, GS1900-16, GS1900-24E,
GS1900-24, GS1900-24HP, GS1900-48 and GS1900-48HP. Providing GbE switches with power-
saving functions, fanless design and full IPv6 support ensure your network to be ready for future
expansions. In addition, the PoE models GS1900-8HP/24HP/48HP Gigabit switch complies with
the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) Plus standard. The complete GS1900 Series has been
designed with useful features and advanced performances that empower your networks with
speed and security as well as silent operation in your oce environments.
Benets
Versatility and exibility for dierent needs
The complete ZyXEL GS1900 Series has an essential portfolio of 8/16/24/48-port compact desktop and
rackmount size with GbE connectivity. All models support multiple deployment methods to fulll the
needs for small oces and meeting room environments such as wall-, under table- or desktop-mounting
and rackmount options*. It’s now quick and eortless to enjoy the high-speed business network
applications without a hitch. Additionally, the GS1900-24/24HP/48/48HP is equipped with 2 extra SFP
slots to provide 100M and GbE speeds for long-distance deployments.
The GS1900-8HP/24HP/48HP features IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus provide 8 PoE ports with up to 30 W powers
per port to exibly extend network deployment, especially for high-power devices such as Wi-Fi APs, IP
cams and IP phones. The 802.3at PoE Plus capability makes the switch ideal for connecting numerous
powered devices to form a awless business network.
Simple, intuitive wizard set up
For small businesses that want to manage their infrastructure in advance, the ZyXEL GS1900 Series
comes with a friendly built-in Web-based browser for simple conguration and management. Moreover,
the friendly step-by-step intuitive wizard helps avoiding multiple complicated conguration pages for
quick set up with few clicks in the matter of minutes. To guide the users from start-up, VLAN, Guest VLAN
to QoS setting, the ZyXEL Series oers four most common steps and combines them into a quick and
easy setup wizard; which does not just save deployment time and eorts, but is also helpful especially
for the non-IT sta.

Avoiding network errors with easy management
The ZyXEL GS1900 Series is equipped with advanced management features to make the network stable and secure: loop protection that prevents
network ooding, dual images to provide a backup FW if one crashes and storm control to ensure network eciency, friendly on/o DoS with simple click
to enable/disable instead of several setup pages, while SSL ensures the management frames are well encrypted when the device is accessed. The GS1900
Series provides network error prevention features and integrated network security for reduced risk and improved data streaming.
Energy saving for IEEE 802.3az
As operating overheads such as electric bills increase constantly due to the arising green awareness, businesses have to avoid unnecessary energy
waste. The built-in IEEE 802.3az Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) and more ZyXEL innovative green features of ZyXEL GS1900 Series can reduce energy
consumption of Ethernet devices through multiple intelligent ways.
• Trac detection—Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) compliance
The IEEE 802.3az Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) feature automatically detects network trac and adjusts power consumption dynamically, as such the
switch can reduce power consumption during low link utilization periods.
• Inactive link detection
The inactive link detection function automatically reduces power usage when inactive links or devices are detected. The ZyXEL GS1900 Series can adjust
power consumption according to the link status and number of the active network devices.
• Cable length detection
This green feature enables the switch to automatically detect the length of connected Ethernet cables and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter
the cable length, the less power it consumes.
Intelligence to power more devices (GS1900-8HP/24HP/48HP)
ZyXEL’s Intelligent PoE feature provides two PoE supply modes: classication mode and consumption mode. Especially in consumption mode, the GS1900-
8HP/24HP/48HP reserves the actual required power automatically, and you can set power feeding priorities on dierent ports to get the optimized use of
power resource. This capability increases the number of devices connected and deliver a better ROI for the business. In addition, the GS1900-8HP supports
the IEEE 802.3at standard on all 8 ports, providing a maximum of 30 watts per port, total 70 watts. Besides, the GS1900-24HP and 48HP both provide 170
watts of total budget power for devices with higher power requirements such as IP phones, IP cameras and wireless access points.
