Interactive LCD Performance Throughout IoT Networks

An industrial router featuring 802.3at PoE+ support and a design for Internet of Things (IoT) networks is the PLANET WGR-500-4PV. It has an intuitive touch panel on its front panel that makes it easier to administer Ethernet PoE PD in industrial networks, such as those in factories, transportation systems, office buildings, and other public spaces. The following unique managerial and operational features are also included. The WGR-500-4PV is the ideal router for use in industrial settings.

Firewall with 802.1Q VLAN security and IPv6/IPv4 support, real-time status display, and PoE management

Real-time Monitoring and Simple Option via LCD Screen

An easy-to-use touch panel is included on the WGR-500-4PV for functions including working mode. Users may easily switch between the router and switch working modes using the LCD touch panel. Users can setup a device and immediately view the settings that have been applied on an LCD panel. A notebook is not required for IT employees to identify configuration changes. Thus, it assists system integrators or IT employees in reducing operating expenses and time.

Support for IPv6 in IoT Networking

With billions of new IoT gadgets hitting the market every year, IPv4 is having trouble keeping up with the demands of tying all the IoT products together. Every current and future IoT device will have a unique 64-bit host ID thanks to IPv6's highly scalable address architecture. It is adequate to meet the requirements of every communication device, both current and future. This implies that IPv6 eliminates the need to work around all of the conventional NAT and firewall concerns and enables IoT devices to be uniquely addressable.
To ensure industrial Ethernet has a seamless migration path from IPv4-based networks to the full IPv6 infrastructure, the WGR-500-4PV supports both IPv6 and IPv4. It provides clients with IPv6 addresses and routes IPv6 traffic through an IPv4 environment. Implementations of IPv4 tunneling (6to4 transition tunnel) for IoT connectivity are supported by the WGR-500-4PV.

Safe Firewall Defense

The goal of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is to squander resources, preventing users from connecting to networks and using applications. There are two types of denial-of-service attacks: volume-based attacks like UDP/ICMP floods and other spoofed-packet floods that would overburden the bandwidth of the targeted website, and server-based attacks like SYN floods and ping of death that use the resources of intermediate communication equipment, such as firewalls and load balancers.
In order to protect IoT devices from networking assaults including denial-of-service (DoS) and emerging malicious traffic before attacks take place, the WGR-500-4PV offers firewall. With firewall protection, it maintains networking more secure and shields IoT networks from dangers.

Support for VLAN for Secure and Isolated Traffic

The logical grouping method to divide the physical ports of an Ethernet switch is provided by virtual LANs (VLANs). It has the ability to divide private networks into various segments for various users. Locally heavy traffic will happen if there are too many computers or networking devices in the same network segment. Additionally, VLANs offer improved network security by allowing network managers to control each port and the resources that are made available to it.
The WGR-500-4PV may function as an intelligent traffic forwarder to manage traffic and isolate connections between two groups. It supports 802.1Q VLAN to separate traffic from users and IoT devices. It will enhance network security in addition to optimizing bandwidth.

Centralized remote management of APs

Through a user-friendly Web GUI, the WGR-500-4PV offers centralized management of the PLANET Smart AP series. The wireless SSID, radio frequency, and security settings for the AP are simple and straightforward to configure. To reduce deployment time, effort, and expense, various wireless profiles can be simultaneously deployed to a number of APs or AP groups using a four-step configuration process.

For instance, the WGR-500-4PV enables clustering many Smart APs of the same model into a controlled group for unified management. Wireless APs can flexibly be added to or taken out of a wireless AP group whenever necessary, depending on the requirements. By using a single entry point, the AP cluster can benefit from bulk provisioning and bulk firmware upgrades rather than having to individually configure each one's settings.

Contemporary Wall-mount Installation

The WGR-500-4PV is specifically made to be put in a small space, like an electric weak box or wall enclosure. Any place with limited room may readily accommodate the small, flat, and wall-mounted design. It uses the "Front Access" design, which makes it simple for personnel to install, wire cables, monitor LEDs, and maintain the WGR-500-4PV when it is enclosed. The WGR-500-4PV's versatility is increased by the fact that it may be fitted using fixed wall mounting, magnetic wall mounting, or DIN rail.
