About the LG-Ericsson iPECS ES Series

The LG-Ericsson Ethernet Switch iPECS ES series includes the ES-1000 family of unmanaged switches, ES-2000/2000G family of advanced smart switches, and the flagship ES-3000/3000G family of fully managed switches.  Easy to install and manage, all ES-series switches feature auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX and at-a-glance tri-colored status LED.  In addition, the switches support LG-Ericsson's Unified Device Manager (UDM), which enables network administrators to quickly, and easily configure and manage multiple switches across the network.

The iPECS ES series switches support VoIP and Unified Communications platforms with advanced L2/L3 QoS.  Prioritization of data is accomplished by classifying packets into one of four different priority queues and serving each packet in the queues using Weighted Round Robin (WRR) or Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) methods.  PoE support for 802.3af and 802.3at maximizes the flexibility of deploying PoE-enabled voice terminals, wireless access points and video cameras.
