Designed to be installed in harsh industrial environments, the IGS-4215-4T2S is the newest member of PLANET's family of industrial-grade DIN-rail-type L2/L4 managed Gigabit switches to improve the availability of critical business applications. It provides dual IPv6/IPv4 stack management and integrated L2/L4 Gigabit switching engine along with 4 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 2 additional 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber ports for data and video uplinks. The IGS-4215-4T2S can operate reliably, stably and quietly in any hardened environment without affecting its performance. It comes with an operating temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees C in a rugged IP30 metal housing.

Rugged protection: The IGS-4215-4T2S provides ±6KV DC contact discharge and ±8KV DC air discharge for Ethernet ESD protection. It also supports ±4KV surge immunity to improve product stability and protects user networks from devastating ESD attacks, ensuring that operational flow does not oscillate.

Redundant ring, fast recovery for surveillance system: The IGS-4215-4T2S supports redundant ring technology and features high capability of fast automatic recovery to prevent external disruptions and intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, Spanning Tree protocol (802.1s MSTP) and redundant power system into the customer's industrial automation network to improve system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In some simple ring networks, data link recovery time can be as low as <450 ms.

Robust Layer 2 features: The IGS-4215-4T2S can be programmed for advanced switch management features such as dynamic link aggregation to ports, 802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) , loop and BPDU guard , IGMP snooping and MLD snooping . Through link aggregation, the IGS-4215-4T2S allows combining high-speed trunk operation with multiple ports as an 8 Gbps fat pipe and also supports failover. In addition, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices in the local broadcast domain.

Dual IPv6/IPv4 Stack Management: Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IGS-4215-4T2S helps SMBs enter the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities do not need to be replaced or overhauled if the FTTx IPv6 edge network is configured.

Remote Solution Management: PLANET's Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and CloudViewer app support IT staff to remotely manage all network devices and monitor the operational states of PDs. Therefore, they are designed for both enterprises and industries where PD deployments can be as remote as possible, without having to travel to the actual location once a bug or faulty condition is detected. With the UNI-NMS app or CloudViewer, all types of activities can now be managed quickly and efficiently from a single platform.

Efficient traffic control: The IGS-4215-4T2S features robust QoS capabilities and powerful traffic management to improve services to enterprise-class data, voice, and video solutions. Features include broadcast/multicast/unicast storm control , per-port bandwidth control , 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS prioritization and commenting. It ensures the best performance in broadcasting video and VoIP streams and enables enterprises to take full advantage of limited network resources.

Easy and secure management: For efficient management, the IGS-4215-4T2S is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, it offers an easy-to-use platform-independent configuration and management function. For text-based management, the IGS-4215-4T2S can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. In addition, it also offers secure remote management via any standards-based management software by supporting SNMPv3 connection that encrypts packet contents with each session.

Powerful security from Layer 2 to Layer 4: PLANET IGS-4215-4T2S offers full IPv4/IPv6 from Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) to strengthen security all the way to the periphery. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports, or typical network applications defined. Its protection mechanism also includes 802.1X port-based device and user authentication , which can be implemented with RADIUS to provide port-level security and block illegal users. With the Protected Port function , communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy. In addition, the Port Security function allows you to limit the number of network devices on a given port.

Flexibility and long-distance extension solution: The two additional SFP slots built into the IGS-4215-4T2S support 100BASE-FX /1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceivers for uplink to the long-distance backbone switch. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multimode fiber) and up to 120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are suitable for applications within data centers and enterprise deployments.

Industrial-grade switches for building automation and security: Suitable for buildings where security must be strictly enforced, the IGS-4215-4T2S, with four high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, can easily create a centrally controlled power supply for an IP telephone system, IP surveillance system and wireless AP group in the harsh industrial environment.

Model that withstands harsh operations and extends distance: The IGS-4215-4T2S is made to withstand any harsh operation in environments such as traffic control cabinets, factories, and indoor and outdoor locations where temperatures are extremely high or low. With a non-blocking design and compact size, installation of the IGS-4215-4T2S is easy and useful for quickly building a bandwidth Gigabit switched network
