Chapter 1: Overview

The login process now is completed. In this login menu, you must input the complete username and password respectively: the PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This may be inconvenient, but it is safer.

The PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco supports a simple user management function allowing only one administrator to configure the system at the same time. If there are two or more users using an administrator’s identity, it will only allow the one who logs in first to configure the system. The rest of the users, even with an administrator’s identity, can only monitor the system. Those who have no administrator’s identity can only monitor the system. There is a maximum of three users able to login simultaneously in the PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco.

NOTE: When you log in to the Switch Web Manager, you must first type the Username of the admin. The password must remain blank at this point, so simply press Enter. When you log in the PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco Web UI management, you can use either an ipv4 or ipv6 log in. To optimize the display, we recommend you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6.0 or higher, Netscape® V7.1 or higher, or FireFox® V1.00 above and set the resolution 1024x768. The switch supports a neutral Web browser interface.

NOTE: the PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco enables the DHCP function, so if you do not have DHCP server to provide IP addresses to the switch, the switch default IP is 192.168.1.1.

NOTE: If you need to configure the function or parameter, refer to those sections in the User Guide. Or, access the switch and click the “help“ under the Web GUI, and the switch will open its easy-to-use help content to teach you how to set the parame- ters, as shown in Figure 1-2.

LPB2848A, LPB2826A, LPB2810A, PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco specifications

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, including the models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, presents a robust solution for businesses looking to enhance their network efficiency and reliability. Designed to support the growing demand for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, these switches provide the perfect backbone for modern network infrastructures.

One of the most significant features of this series is its PoE+ capability, which allows it to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This functionality simplifies cabling and installation, making it easier to deploy PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The LPB2810A offers 8 PoE+ ports, the LPB2826A ups the ante with 24 ports, and the LPB2848A provides a whopping 48 ports, each capable of delivering up to 30 watts of power per port.

The managed switch system ensures that users can customize and optimize their network performance. With advanced features such as VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation, organizations can effectively manage traffic, prioritize critical applications, and potentially enhance overall network security. Furthermore, these switches support Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, which allows for greater flexibility when implementing routing policies.

Another critical aspect of the LPB series is its built-in security features. The switches come equipped with advanced security protocols, including IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which enables network administrators to authenticate devices before granting access to the network. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and ensures data integrity across the connected devices.

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switches are designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. Their fanless design promotes silent operation, making them ideal for deployment in both office environments and data centers. Additionally, the switches offer a user-friendly web-based interface and CLI options for straightforward management and configuration, catering to both novice and seasoned network administrators.

In conclusion, the Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, featuring models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, stands out with its power-efficient design, extensive port options, and advanced security measures. These switches are an excellent choice for organizations that require a dependable and scalable networking solution to support their growing Ethernet and PoE device needs.
