Transition Networks Inc Smart Managed PoE+ Switch, 16-port Gigabit PoE+, 2-port 100/1000 SFP

Engineered for small to mid-size networks, the Transition Networks Smart Managed PoE+ Switch provides a robust combination of power over Ethernet and high-speed data. With 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports, it can power cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices while delivering reliable, low-latency network performance. Two 100/1000 SFP uplink ports offer flexible fiber connectivity for distanced networks, uplink segmentation, and easy integration with core switches. The switch features smart management capabilities including VLANs, QoS, bandwidth monitoring, link aggregation, and security features to optimize performance, protect critical devices, and simplify administration. Built for durability and reliability, it supports enterprise-grade features in a compact chassis suitable for rack-mount installations in data closets, server rooms, or retail back offices. Whether you are deploying a surveillance system, expanding a Wi-Fi network, or upgrading a corporate edge, this Transition Networks switch is designed to scale with your needs while keeping configuration straightforward through a web-based GUI, CLI, or SNMP. It balances power and intelligence, enabling IT teams to prioritize traffic, secure endpoints, and maintain uptime without a steep learning curve.

• Power and connectivity: 16 PoE+ ports deliver simultaneous data and power to compatible devices, simplifying cable runs and reducing the need for separate power adapters. This makes it ideal for cameras, phones, access points, and other PoE-enabled devices on a single, organized network edge.
• Versatile uplinks: Two SFP fiber ports provide flexible 100/1000 Mbps uplinks for long-distance connections, fast core-to-edge links, and the ability to keep traffic separated for improved reliability.
• Smart management features: Advanced management capabilities include VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS), rate limiting, port mirroring, access control lists (ACLs), and real-time monitoring to optimize performance and security across the network.
• Security and reliability: Secure management access, role-based permissions, SNMP, and logging facilitate centralized control, troubleshooting, and protection against threats while ensuring only authorized users can configure or manage the switch.
• Flexible deployment: Durable metal chassis designed for rack-mount installations or shelf placement, with quiet operation in many office environments, and compatibility with existing network infrastructure for a seamless upgrade path.

• Step 4: Connect a management workstation to the switch's management interface via Ethernet and access the web GUI or CLI to begin configuration.
• Step 5: Configure basic settings such as admin credentials, VLANs for traffic separation, and QoS policies to prioritize critical devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones.
• Step 6: Save your configuration, verify connectivity, and monitor PoE status per port to ensure devices are powered properly and traffic is flowing as intended.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does PoE+ mean on this switch?

  A: PoE+ refers to Power over Ethernet Plus, allowing the switch to deliver higher power to compatible devices (such as cameras or wireless access points) than standard PoE. The exact per-port power and total PoE budget depend on the specific model and firmware; consult the product specifications for precise figures.

• Q: How many devices can this switch power at once?

  A: It provides 16 PoE+ ports to connect PoE-enabled devices. The number of devices powered simultaneously depends on the total PoE budget and the power requirements of each device. Plan for a mix of endpoints whose total draw stays within the vendor-specified budget.

• Q: Is this switch manageable?

  A: Yes. It supports a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), command line interface (CLI), and SNMP for centralized network management, monitoring, and configuration. This makes it suitable for both small deployments and larger networks requiring granular control.

• Q: Can I segment traffic with VLANs?

  A: Absolutely. The switch includes VLAN support to isolate traffic between devices, improve security, and optimize performance. VLANs are commonly used to separate cameras, voice devices, data workstations, and guest networks on a shared physical switch.

• Q: What if I need help with installation?

  A: Vendor documentation and support resources are available from Transition Networks and the distributor or reseller. Configuration guidance typically covers initial setup, PoE management, VLANs, QoS, security settings, and monitoring options.
