XGS-4526/4528F/4728F User’s Guide

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.

Your Switch is a stand-alone, layer-3, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with support 
for an optional 2-port 10 Gigabit uplink module. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F 
also provides two 12 Gigabit stacking ports. By integrating router functions, the 
Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching. 

The XGS-4526 comes with 20 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and 4 GbE dual 
personality interfaces. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F comes with 24 GbE dual 
personality interfaces. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit port and 
one slot for a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time. 

The XGS-4526 requires 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 0.8 A power.

There are two XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F models. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F 
DC model requires DC power supply input of -36 VDC to -72 VDC, 1.5 A Max no 
tolerance. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F AC model requires 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 
0.8 A power.

With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In 
addition, the Switch can also be managed via Telnet, any terminal emulator 
program on the console port, or third-party SNMP management.

Switch.

In this example the Switch connects different company departments (RD and 
Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and 
eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can 
connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch. You can provide a
