Robust Layer 2 Features
The ITS-6326 series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Via the link aggregation, the ITS-6326 Series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, and supports fail-over as well. Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
User-friendly Management Interfaces
For efficient management, this series is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.
- With the built-in Web-based management interface, the ITS-6326 series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
- For text-based management, the switches can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
- For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session for secure remote management.
Moreover, the ITS-6326 PoE Series offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2, TLSv1.2 and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the ITS-6326 series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Powerful Security
Offering comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) features for enforcing security at the edge, it can restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, or predefined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also includes 802.1x port-based and MAC-based user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports is prevented, ensuring user privacy. Network administrators can now build highly secure corporate networks with significantly less time and effort than before.
1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks
The ITS-6326 series is ideal for telecom and Carrier Ethernet applications, supporting MEF service delivery and timing over packet solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.
Modbus TCP Provides Flexible Network Connectivity for Factory Automation
With the supported Modbus TCP/IP protocol, the ITS-6326 series can easily integrate with SCADA systems, HMI systems and other data acquisition systems in factory floors. It enables administrators to remotely monitor the industrial Ethernet switch’s operating information, port information and communication status, thus easily achieving enhanced monitoring and maintenance of the entire factory.
SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert
The ITS-6326 series provides event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection, or the rebooting response.
Convenient and Smart ONVIF Devices with Detection Feature
PLANET has newly developed an awesome feature -- ONVIF Support -- which is specifically designed for co-operating with video IP surveillances. From the ITS-6326 series GUI, clients just need one click to search for and show all of the ONVIF devices via the network application. In addition, clients can upload floor images to the switch series, making the deployments of surveillance and other devices easy for planning and inspection purposes. Moreover, clients can get real-time surveillance’s information and online/offline status; the PoE reboot can be controlled from the GUI.
Intelligent Alive Check for Powered Device
The ITS-6326 series can be configured to monitor connected PD (powered device) status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the ITS-6326 series will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD back to work. It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source and reducing the administrator’s management burden.
PoE Schedule for Energy Savings
In response to the global trend of energy conservation and environmental protection, the ITS-6326 series effectively manages power supply while delivering high wattage. The built-in “PoE schedule” function allows users to enable or disable PoE power feeding for each port during specified time intervals. This feature is particularly beneficial for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprises, helping them save both energy and costs. The ITS-6326 series enables each connected PoE IP camera or PoE wireless access point to reboot at a designated time each week. This functionality helps minimize the risk of crashes caused by buffer overflow in IP cameras or access points.
802.3at PoE+ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Distance Extension
In the “Extend” operation mode, the ITS-6326 series functions on a per-port basis at 10 Mbps in duplex mode, while also supporting a 20-watt PoE output over distances of up to 250 meters, effectively surpassing the standard 100-meter limit of Ethernet UTP cables. This innovative feature offers an additional solution for extending the distance of 802.3at PoE, thereby reducing the costs associated with Ethernet cable installation.
Digital Input and Digital Output for External Alarm
This external alarm system enables users to utilize a Digital Input to monitor and log the status of external devices, such as door intrusion detectors, and send event alarms to administrators. The Digital Output can be used to alarm administrators of any changes in link status, whether the link is down or up, on the ITS-6326 series port.
