Wizard IP Plus features - front and rear

Considering its capabilities, the Wizard IP Plus is supplied within a remarkably compact casing. Measuring just 198mm x 120mm x 43mm, it occupies just half of a single (1U) rack space and provides most of its connectors at the rear face. The smart front face features the IP network port and the operation indicators.
