Managed switch LevelOne Hilbert 28-poorts industrial Gigabit Smart Lite

The LevelOne IGS-2128 Hilbert Industrial Gigabit Smart Lite is a managed 28-port Ethernet switch designed for industrial and enterprise environments. It provides 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports plus 4 combo GbE RJ45/SFP ports, a switching capacity of 56 Gbit/s and an 8000-entry MAC address table. The unit supports common IEEE networking standards and accepts a wide DC input voltage range, making it suitable for rack-mounted installations and flexible power environments.

Advantages

The switch offers high hardware performance and environmental flexibility, with managed features that simplify network administration. Clear front-panel LEDs enable straightforward port monitoring. Combo SFP/RJ45 ports provide fiber or copper connectivity options, and compatibility with LevelOne IP Locator software allows quick discovery of Hilbert series switches and recovery of device IP information on Windows and Mac systems.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet networks in factories or plants
• Rack-mounted enterprise network closets
• Small to medium-sized business networks requiring managed switching
• Environments needing mixed fiber and copper uplinks

How to use

Install the switch in a 19-inch rack or on a suitable surface, connect DC power within the specified 12–57 V range, and attach copper or fiber links to the RJ45 and SFP ports as required. Access the device through the management interface to configure VLANs, QoS, and other network settings. Use the front-panel LEDs to verify link status and activity during setup. If the device IP is unknown, run LevelOne IP Locator on a supported Windows or Mac system to discover the switch.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated, dry location and ensure proper grounding. Regularly back up configuration files after initial setup and apply firmware updates provided by the manufacturer to maintain security and compatibility.
