The SH2500 is a 24-Port 10/100Mbps intelligent switch with 24-Port Power over Ethernet (PoE) function. It is easy to use and delivers the perfect combination of many functions. The provided Power over Ethernet ports can automatically detect the presence of IEEE 802.3af- compliant devices and will provide power through the ports. With integral power sourcing capability, it is the ideal choice for connecting to IP phones or devices requiring remote surveillance such as wireless access points and video cameras.

In addition to eliminating the need for additional power sources for each end point, the SH2500 supports port-based VLAN. VLAN offers better bandwidth utilization of segment voices and data networks, minimizing broadcast domains and providing better control of a voice network's performance. The SH2500 provides 802.1p/Q for prioritizing voice packets and specific service types. The QoS support allows voice packets and other delay-sensitive applications to have better transmission.

The SH2500 provides Auto-Negotiation and detects Ethernet speed automatically. It also supports MDI/MDIX and detects different interfaces automatically for easy plug & play. The administrator can manage and configure the SH2500 from any network via a web browser.
