This enables troubleshooting after deployment, monitoring of devices from remote locations, and simple operations for maintenance, significantly reducing the burden on device administrators. Furthermore, the "BS-XS2008P" supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt). It achieves a power supply capacity of 90W per port and up to 270W for the entire device. It can supply power to multiple network cameras and Wi-Fi access points that require high-output power, and power management is possible from the PoE switch.
