Egress and Ingress Rate Limiting
The switches offer egress and ingress rate limiting. This allows inbound and outbound traffic to be limited to a portion of the available bandwidth per connection.
For example, a hotel may want to provide guests with free 5 Mbps internet download (egress) connections but require guests pay an extra fee for 100+ Mbps speeds.
The upload (ingress) speeds from the guests devices can also be limited.

IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping functionality is incorporated into Alta Labs switches to optimize network performance by reducing unnecessary traffic. This is particularly helpful for IPTV or multicast video streams.
802.1X Authentication
Alta Labs switches support 802.1X authentication to allow for more dynamic methods of network authentication. VoIP phones and other 802.1X‑compliant hardware can authenticate themselves on to the network, helping with deployment on larger networks.
Network Loop Detection
Network loops can deteriorate performance or even cause network failure. Our built‑in network loop detection functionality is designed to help you eliminate any potential network loops.
Device Cards
Easily view connection details and configure your ports by clicking the device icon.
Site Manager
The Alta Site Manager provides an overview of all sites, displays the number of devices for each site, and shows when updates are needed. New sites can be added and current sites can be duplicated or removed. Use the search option to look for a specific site.
Status Snapshots
View upload and download throughput with a visual timeline on the dashboard for each AP displayed along with the number of connected devices, average processor load, channel load, and average connected devices.

Mounting Flexibility
The S8‑PoE switch has padding for desktop placement and notches for mounting on the included wall‑mount bracket.
Secure the Mounting Bracket
Secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall using the Mounting Screws and a Phillips screwdriver. Be sure to use the screws included with the product.
If mounting on drywall, use the anchors to ensure secure mounting. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill the holes for the anchors and insert them in the wall.

Powering the Device
Connect the Power Supply to the switch and the other end to a power outlet.
Connecting Devices
Connect devices that need Power over Ethernet to any of the first four ports. The ports are autosensing. Devices that do not require power can be connected to any port.
Ports and LEDs
Ports 1-4 support 802.3at PoE+ with up to 30W per port and a PoE budget of 60 Watts. These ports are standard Gigabit Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps connections.
The Link LED on the left indicates a 10/100 Mbps connection when amber, blue indicates a 1 Gbps connection, and if not illuminated, the connection is down. The PoE LED on the right will illuminate amber when a device connected to the port is being powered via Ethernet.
