Benefits to Help Grow Your Business

Increased Flexibility for Network Design
Select either 8,10,24, or 48 Gigaport ports and Power-over-Ethernet layer 2 switches with 1 Gbps SFP or 10 Gbps SFP+ ports. Cloud Managed switch model options also include desktop and rack-mountable, fanless, and SmartFan designs.

High Performance Up of 10G Ethernet Capacity
The EnGenius Cloud-enabled switch series comes with multi-gigabit models that support 1G/2.5G/10G Base-T Ethernet ports that can transmit and receive data traffic without any loss. Capable of powering the performance of 802.11ax access points to support bandwidth larger than one gigabit per second, EnGenius switches provides faster overall network performance.

Maximum Power Supply Capabilities to Future-proof Devices with 802.3bt
By providing a wide range of PoE/PoE+/PoE++ models that support 802.3af/803.at/802.3bt on all ports, companies can regulate power budgets according to device requirements and remotely power cycle individual ports. The 802.3bt standard of EnGenius switches delivers up to 60W of power to optimize the power management and longevity of your network devices, such as Wi-Fi 6 access points, outdoor surveillance cameras with heaters, and emerging power-hungry IoT devices.

High-Speed Gigabit with Fiber
The switch’s 1 Gbps SFP or 10 Gbps SFP+ slots options connect wired network segments throughout buildings extending beyond the limitations of Ethernet cabling. By reducing delays, businesses experience more consistent and uninterrupted communications.

Increased Access Control and Security
Protect the network with 802.1X port-based client authentication with dynamic VLAN and security through a RADIUS server. Administrators can use Access Control Lists (ACLs) to see who has access to network segments while screening traffic from unauthorized MAC or IP addresses. By establishing a guest VLAN to grant and limit Internet resources for visitors, guests can use the network while also keeping the network secure.

Improved VLAN/Voice and Quality of Service
Segment the network by departments or traffic types for increased performance and security with 802.1Q VLAN statically or dynamically. While 802.1p Class of Service prioritizes compliant VoIP and video traffic ensuring bandwidth- intensive, time-sensitive data is forwarded immediately for clear, smooth voice and video delivery.

Provides In-Depth Network Visibility
The Network Topology View automatically maps the network deployment and displays device relationships across the infrastructure. No more manual tracking is required — simply use the Network Topology view to troubleshoot switches or access points directly from the cloud management interface. Grab high-level information by hovering over the device icon or click on details to take you right to the cloud device page.

Advanced Cloud Authentication
With EnGenius Cloud, your network devices are protected with two-factor authentication and non-sequential serial numbers and MAC address verification to ensure only authorized cloud devices are on the network. Once devices are authenticated, a secure tunnel is established between the device and the cloud management system with a unique certificate to encrypt transmissions.

Advanced PoE Features Designing for Surveillance
The PoE switches feature surveillance-friendly functions to relieve the pain points of deployment and management for IP cameras. These advanced features are all based on the Power-over-thernet technology. The PoE extended mode allows you to deploy the camera over an Ethernet cable at a more extended range up to 250 meters. PD lifeguard real-timely monitors the status of the camera and auto-reboots the camera when it is down. The continuous PoE power supplies the IP camera in operation without interruption of the switch rebooting during switch firmware upgrading.

Cloud Improves Setup, Registry,and Device Management
For quick and simple setup manage your switches using EnGenius Cloud. Scan and assign switches into an organization and network for device registration and configuration using the EnGenius Cloud To-Go app. Simply refine configurations under the list view for switches in the switch’s detail page after initial setup and registration. EnGenius Cloud’s dashboard provides a quick health check status of all your switches in an organization and network and quick access into detailed switch configurations and system information. Conveniently & easily monitor and troubleshoot all of your network switches in one location using a switch list and detail view to compare resources, check overall configurations and real-time meters, and configure detailed system and port settings. Set maintenance schedules across time zones to improve up-time, enable remote system log to track system modifications or configuration changes, establish event-based email alerts and receive push notifications via the EnGenius Cloud To-Go app.

Simplified Switch Management, Visibility, and Troubleshooting
By using multiple methods to manage switches, EnGenius decreases administration time through remote management, visibility, and troubleshooting. Select the most effective management approach based on network architecture, administrative permissions, technical aptitude, or even budget.

Local Management – manage and configure each EnGenius switch in a standalone setup from its intuitive user interface that provides full access into all the Layer 2 switching features.
Cloud Management – Remote or locally manage EnGenius switches with EnGenius Cloud, a true license-free cloud management solution that provides quick deployment from anywhere, deep-dive analytics to review system performance, and custom device alerts through a simple-to-use smartphone app.

Advanced Topology to monitor the whole network including 3rd-Party Devices
Besides Engenius Switch and AP to be discovered in the Topology, in professional mode, the Topology can discover 3rd party devices to have a holistic view of the Networking Topology. The topology view displays the actual connection of the devices in your network. You can see Access Points and Switches’ real-time status and check the detailed information of PoE status, IP and MAC address, and throughput. In professional mode, you can also view the device name, capability, vendor, and IP address of third-party devices to have overall control of network status.
