Feature Highlights:

• 802.3bt High Power PoE
  ECS1100-10HP and ECS4150-54P support 802.3bt PoE, enabling power to be supplied to multiple high-power devices such as access points, VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, IoT devices, and more.

• Effortless PoE Scheduler
  The PoE Scheduler allows you to specify the amount of time that power is delivered to a PoE port, reducing power consumption, saving energy, and making it easy to reboot PoE devices periodically.

• Intelligent PD Alive Checking
  The PD-Alive checking is ideal for IP surveillance networks, it can automatically check the connection status of real-time PDs (powered devices) and re-start the PDs when the system detects network connectivity problems, ensuring hassle-free power consumption monitoring, and enhancing network reliability.

• PoE Extend Mode
  The PoE Extend Mode provides an extended power and data delivery distance of up to 250m for PoE devices such as CCTV and IoT devices in large areas while maintaining a stable 10Mbps speed.

• Robust Surge Protection
  Built with 6KV Ethernet port surge protection and 4KV DC input surge protection to avoid damage to the switch and connected devices, such as outdoor IP cameras, access points, and other PoE PDs connected to the network.

• Multiple Management Options
  Support for multiple management options – CLI, web GUI, SNMP, and Edgecore ecCLOUD. With Edgecore ecCLOUD, the IT administrator can centrally manage all Edgecore switches by bulk configuration of automatic VLAN configuration and synchronization, port security, and power management, reducing deployment time and ensuring network reliability.
