Application Overview

Public Buildings require extensive surveillance systems as they may be prone to attack, robbery or theft of information. A reliable, redundant and secure monitoring system is critical for these applications which is operable 24/7.

Key Considerations

Redundant ring topology with millisecond scale network recovery for maximum uptime.
Compact design for indoor and outdoor storage.
Long-haul fiber connectivity to provide high-bandwidth speeds for both on premise and remote monitoring.
Intelligent powered device alive-check and monitoring for scheduling with energy saving which provides burden-less maintenance.

Key Volktek Benefits

	Feature		Benefit
Reliability	Redundant Power	Remains On During Power Failure	Redundant power sources (15VDC or battery back-up) keep the devices operational during power failures.
Availability	Ring Redundancy	Remains Connected If Active Link Fails	Combine multiple network connections in parallel to increase the throughput beyond a single connection, provide link redundancy and reduce ISP network stability issues.
Performance	Quality of Service (QoS)	Define the Critical Networks	Specific networks can be prioritized, optimizing the network performance and bandwidth utilization.
	VLAN	Connect Remote Devices	Network administrators can partition the networks to match the functional and security requirements of their systems without having to run new cables or make major changes in the current network infrastructure.
	Storm Control	Prevent LAN Traffic Storms	Prevents the traffic on a LAN from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm on a port, reducing the system bandwidth requirements and saving CAPEX.
Security	Device Locking	Last Mile of Protection	By enabling the Device Lock feature, the switch will not function in any network other than its configured network.
Security	e-mail Alarm	Triggered Events Alert Via Email	1) Notify the administrator if real-time problems occur such as firmware or configuration changes, device status, link connectivity status, etc. 2) Help administrators to quickly identify, isolate and resolve network issues.
Management	Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)	Access Device and Network Information	1) Rapidly react to physical link failure and recover immediately 2) Provide an alternate pathy link to support continuous transmission.
Management	PoE ON / OFF + PD Alive Check	Intelligent PoE+ for Powered Devices	PoE switches can enable or disable the power supply to the powered devices. The powered ports can send keep-alive checking packets to the devices to increase system reliability.
