Moxa has launched its EDS-P510 Gigabit PoE managed Ethernet switch. The EDS-P510 is equipped with four IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE ports and provides connected devices with up to 15 watts of PoE power per port. The ability to transmit data and power simultaneously saves on wiring costs and the industrial grade design make it especially suitable for harsh and outdoor environments.
The EDS-P510 provides many advanced power management functions. A prime example is the ‘PD (powered device) failure recovery’ function for detecting the status of connected powered devices. When a PD fails or shuts down, the switch can reset and re-activate the PD to ensure that it works properly. The ‘timetabling’ function makes it easy to configure a PD to work at specific times and saves energy since the PD is not running continuously. In addition, when connected devices could cause power overload problems, the ‘power limit setting’ function can be used to pre-set the power limit. When active and a new device is connected to the switch, devices will be disconnected automatically based on user-defined priorities or on a ‘next port' algorithm.
The EDS-P510 comes with three combo Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used to form a redundant Gigabit ring and uplink. In addition, the SFP ports ensure high-bandwidth transmission for both data and video, making the switch an excellent choice for outdoor applications that involve connecting devices such as IP cameras, APs and intercoms. Such applications can benefit from the EDS-P510’s scalable backbone construction and Power-over-Ethernet support.
