Zyxel One Network experience

Aiming for relieving our customers from repetitive
operations of deploying and managing a network, Zyxel
One Network is designed to simplify the configuration,
management, and troubleshooting, allowing our customers
to focus on the business priorities. Zyxel One Network
presents an easy-to-use tool, Zyxel One Network Utility
(ZON Utility), to realize speed network setup. Zyxel Smart
Connect*2 allows Zyxel networking equipment to be aware
and recognize each other and further facilitating the
network maintenance via one-click remote functions
such as factory reset or power cycling. Zyxel One Network
redefines the network integration across multiple
networking products from switch to Wi-Fi AP and to
Gateway.

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
configuration and management. Moreover, the friendly
step-by-step intuitive wizard helps avoiding multiple
complicated configuration 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
offers four most common steps and combines them into
a quick and easy setup wizard; which does not just save
deployment time and efforts, but is also helpful especially
for the non-IT staff.

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 flooding,
dual images to provide a backup FW if one crashes and
storm control to ensure network efficiency, friendly on/off
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 Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and more Zyxel
innovative green features of Zyxel GS1900 Series can
reduce energy consumption of Ethernet devices through
multiple intelligent ways.

• Traffic detection—Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

compliance

The IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) feature
automatically detects network traffic 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 (PoE models)

Zyxel’s Intelligent PoE feature provides two PoE supply
modes: classification mode and consumption mode.
Especially in consumption mode, the GS1900-8HP/10HP/
24HP/48HP reserves the actual required power
automatically, and you can set power feeding priorities on
different 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. The GS1900­8HP/10HP/24HP/48HP features IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus with
up to 30 W powers per port to flexibly 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 flawless business network.
