Power over Ethernet on all 10/100 Ports With a total power budget of 195 watts the FS728TP provides lots of flexibility you can choose to network up to 24 devices power & network up to 24 devices or deploy a combination of both. Power over Ethernet (Po E) optimises the installation & power management of network devices such as Wireless Access Points Voice over IP (Vo IP) telephones & IP-based security cameras. The use of Power over Ethernet significantly reduces installation time & the costs for deploying wireless IP telephony & surveillance from the restrictions of electrical socket proximity using a standard CAT-5 networking cable. You can also enable uninterruptible power supply for all your Po E devices by powering your switch from a UPS device. Smart Switch with Easy Browser-based Management Like all of NETGEARs Smart Managed Switches the FS728TP Fast Smart Switch with built in Po E offers an intuitive web-based management tool for quick & easy deployment & configuration making it easy to deploy networking devices wireless telephony & surveillance. This easy to use browser-based interface can be used to configure all features as well as monitoring & trouble-shooting.FS728TP switches also have SNMP (v 1 2c & 3) to collect & track data to monitor the network health as well as manage devices & more easily enforce critical IT controls & policies. SNMP v 2c is most commonly deployed as it provides better reporting capabilities than SNMP v 1. Companies interested in more robust security may opt for SNMP v 3 which provides data encryption. The FS728TP Smart Switch is equipped with highly advanced features including Access Control Lists (ACLs) port authentication enhanced Qo S rate limiting & IGMP snooping to provide a small & medium-sized business with a network that is geared for growth while providing scalability & reliability.
