Throughout IoT Network Performance, Intuitive LCD Interactivity

An industrial router with 802.3at PoE+ support, PLANET WGR-500-4P was created for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. It has an intuitive touch panel on its front panel that makes Ethernet PoE PD management easy and dramatically improves management effectiveness in industrial networks, such as those in factories, transit hubs, and public spaces. Additionally, it has the following unique management and operation features. For industrial router applications, the WGR-500-4PV is the ideal choice.

Firewall with 802.1Q VLAN security and IPv6/IPv4 capability, as well as real-time status display

Through LCD Screen, Simple Option and Real-Time Monitoring

For crucial functions including working mode, the WGR-500-4P offers an intuitive touch panel. The LCD touch panel makes it simple for users to switch between the router and switch operating modes. In addition to configuring the device, users can use the LCD screen to immediately see how the settings are being used. To identify configuration changes, IT staff does not need to use a notebook. This reduces running expenses and saves time for IT workers or system integrators.

IoT Networking Support for IPv6

Every year, billions of additional IoT gadgets hit the market, making it impossible for IPv4 to fully support the needs of tying all of these items together. Each current and future IoT device has a unique 64-bit host ID thanks to the highly scalable address system offered by IPv6. Any present or future communication device's requirements can be met by it. As a result, IPv6 enables IoT devices to have unique addresses without needing to get past all of the typical NAT and firewall problems.
Industrial Ethernet may migrate smoothly from IPv4-based networks to the full IPv6 infrastructure thanks to the WGR-500-4P's support for both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols. Clients are given IPv6 addresses, and IPv6 traffic is routed through an IPv4 environment. For IoT connectivity, the WGR-500-4P supports IPv4 tunneling (6to4 transition tunnel) solutions.

Protective Firewall Security

Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks try to eat up resources, preventing users from accessing networks and applications. DoS attacks come in two flavors: volume-based attacks like UDP/ICMP floods and other spoofed-packet floods that would overwhelm the targeted site's bandwidth and SYN floods and ping of death that use actual server resources as well as those of intermediate communication equipment like firewalls and load balancers.
The WGR-500-4P offers firewall protection to safeguard Internet of Things (IoT) devices from networking assaults including denial-of-service (DoS) and developing malicious traffic before attacks take place. IoT network dangers are avoided using firewall protection, making networking more secure.

Support for VLANs with Isolated Traffic and Security

To divide the physical ports of an Ethernet switch, virtual LANs (VLANs) provide a logical grouping approach. It can divide private networks into various sections for various users. The same network segment will experience significant local traffic if there are too many PCs or networking devices present. In addition, VLANs offer improved network security because network managers have control over every port and the resources they are allowed to use.
The WGR-500-4P supports 802.1Q VLAN to divide user and Internet of Things device traffic and can function as an intelligent traffic forwarder to regulate traffic and isolate connections between two groups. In addition to increasing network security, it will optimize bandwidth.

Control of managed APs from a central location

An intuitive Web GUI on the WGR-500-4P enables centralized management of the PLANET Smart AP series. For the wireless SSID, radio band, and security settings, configuring an AP is simple and straightforward. To reduce deployment time, effort, and expense, numerous APs or AP groups can receive various wireless profiles for different purposes at the same time using a four-step configuration process.

The WGR-500-4P, for instance, allows clustering similar-model Smart APs into a controlled group for uniform management. Wireless APs can be flexible increased or deleted from a wireless AP group at any moment based on requirements. Instead of having to configure settings in each one separately, the AP cluster benefits from bulk provisioning and bulk firmware upgrades through a single entry point.

Cutting-edge Wall-mount Installation

The WGR-500-4P is specifically made to be fitted in a small space, like a wall enclosure or an electrical box. Any place with limited room may readily accommodate the flat, compact design that is wall-mounted. It uses the user-friendly "Front Access" design, which makes it very simple for personnel to install, cable wire, monitor, and maintain the WGR-500-4P when it is housed in an enclosure. The WGR-500-4P's versatility in use is increased by the fact that it can be mounted on a fixed wall, a magnetic wall, or a DIN rail.
