Versatility and fexibility for different needs
The complete ZyXEL GS1900 Series has an essential portfolio of 8/16/24/48-port compact desktop and rackmount size with GbE connectivity. All models support multiple deployment methods to fulfill the needs for small offices and meeting room environments such as wall-, under table- or desktop-mounting and rackmount options. It’s now quick and effortless to enjoy the high-speed business network applications without a hitch. Additionally, the GS1900-24/24HP/48/48HP is equipped with 2 extra SFP slots to provide 100M and GbE speeds for long-distance deployments.

Simple, intuitive wizard set up
For small businesses that want to manage their infrastructure in advance, the ZyXEL GS1900 Series comes with a friendly built-in Web-based browser for simple configuration and management. Moreover, the friendly step-by-step intuitive wizard helps avoiding multiple complicated configuration pages for quick set up with few clicks in the matter of minutes. To guide the users from start-up, VLAN, Guest VLAN to QoS setting, the ZyXEL Series offers four most common steps and combines them into a quick and easy setup wizard; which does not just save deployment time and efforts, but is also helpful especially for the non-IT staff.

Avoiding network errors with easy management

The ZyXEL GS1900 Series is equipped with advanced management features to make the network stable and secure: loop protection that prevents network flooding, dual images to provide a backup FW if one crashes and storm control to ensure network efficiency, friendly on/off DoS with simple click to enable/disable instead of several setup pages, while SSL ensures the management frames are well encrypted when the device is accessed. The GS1900 Series provides network error prevention features and integrated network security for reduced risk and improved data streaming.

Energy saving for IEEE 802.3az
As operating overheads such as electric bills increase constantly due to the arising green awareness, businesses have to avoid unnecessary energy waste. The built-in IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and more ZyXEL innovative green features of ZyXEL GS1900 Series can reduce energy consumption of Ethernet devices through multiple intelligent ways.

How to use

Install the GS1900-24HP in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a desktop according to available mounting options. Connect the uplink fiber or copper to the SFP or RJ-45 uplink ports and attach endpoints (phones, APs, cameras) to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Access the built-in web management GUI via a browser to run the step-by-step setup wizard that guides basic settings such as management IP, VLAN, Guest VLAN and QoS. Configure PoE priorities and power budget if powering devices over Ethernet.

Recommendations

For stable operation, ensure the switch firmware is kept current and use the dual-image feature before applying major updates. Plan PoE power budget according to connected devices and enable energy-saving IEEE 802.3az features where supported to reduce power consumption.
