PoE solution with NetProtector

PoE solution with NetProtector

 

Power surge unstable and vulnerable to lightning normally be a concern for network administrators who install outdoor wireless devices in the tower. Power needs could be said that risky needs. Power is not stable and lightning can easily cause damage to the device. Especially if grouding done only with makeshift tools and without adequate calculation.

To minimize problems of power on the wireless router we present a new product named NetProtector. PoE is a module which is designed to distribute power while protecting the router from the power of abnormal activity, eg due to lightning or power surge unstable.

NetProtector not a switch, however, but instead of POE is equipped with Surge Arrester features so as to provide protection against electrical surges on the router.

PoE function will also allow us so to the distribution of power to each - each device, without having to add an adapter and PoE for each device. Installation topology would be as follows:

On the back of the device there is a grounding cable NetProtector. These cables stay connected to the existing system grouding in your network infrastructure.

There are 2 types NetProtector we provide, manageable and standard NetProtector NetProtector. For NetProtector manageable product, there are features that can be used to set NetProtector remotely via a web-base.

NetProtector standard features:

• PoE adapter functionality
• Bulit-in netprotector
• All ports shielded
• Standard power socket DC 2.1/5.5
• Solid, sleek, all-aluminum, painted black desktop case
• 0.3 m grounding cable included

As for NetProtector manageable, additional features in addition to standard features. Here are some additional features manageable NetProtector:

• Restarter functionality
• Management via www (web-base)
• Watchdog

NetProtector comes with two types of casing, casing desktop and rackmount chassis. Type the desktop with a simple shape and small allows us to setup with limited space. And rackmount chassis for penampatan in 1U server rack (19 inch).

Modular

Especially for a product with 1U chassis, the number of interfaces can be expanded to 24. If by default the number of ethernet only 8, we can add the modules separately in order to cater for the number of ethernet network needs us.

Remotely via the Web

Netprotector is manageable features that are helpful for network admins who want to monitor the condition of the power on the device. By default web-base can be accessed at the address http://192.168.0.100

Login page will appear asking for username and password information. NetProtector default account is as follows:

Username = admin
Password = admin
Display the home page of web-base NetProtector. Contains information on the features and functionality of existing features.

Relays

A feature to control the power output. In this feature, the network administrator can turn on / off the power outpout on a specific interface.

Watchdog

Condition monitoring devices connected to PoE-Out is based on IP addresses with the standard ping. IP address of the device that should be monitored by IP Address NetProtector segment. NetProtector will display the status of the monitored devices. Under normal conditions, the device status says "OK". If the device unreacheable within a specified period, the status will change to "FAIL". There is an option that we can choose if the router is experiencing fail. If we check the option "Add Relay", then when the device status into fail, NetProtector will automatically reset power PoE on the interface connected to the device with a fail status. Power reset process within approximately 2.5 minutes.

Measurements

Displays detailed status of NetProtector devices, such as input voltage and temperature.

Settings

We can do some settings on Netprotector. Settings such as IP Address, Gateway, and Password. In parameter mode, fill it with a value of 0 if NetProtector will automatically obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. Or fill it with value 1 if the IP address is configured statically.

Reset

If in the future we forget the password or IP address of the router, we can reset to the default initial configuration Netprotector. We can do a reset using the reset button located on the back of the casing, or some are located at the front of the chassis, depending on the type of product.

Steps to perform a reset:

• Turn off the device NetProtector
• Press the "Reset" and remains on hold
• Give power to the device by plugging the power jack.
• Wait a few seconds, then release the reset button.
• Turn off netprotector by unplugging the power jack, and then on again.
• Netprotector already is reset, you can try the remote router with a default IP address.

NetProtector product offers convenience and security in terms of power. A solution of the network admins will concern the unstable power surge or due to lightning.
