Allied Telesis Milestone Plug-In

♦ Allied Telesis has developed a plug-in to Milestone XProtect that’s now available from BGW Technologies.

The plug-in simplifies network and IP camera management for security staff by integrating common controls into the XProtect VMS graphical interface.

It enables easier security operation by providing convenient access to management functions for Allied Telesis Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches, such as:

* Check and manage PoE power allocation
* Assign and track camera/port associations
* Enable and disable switch ports
* Cycle PoE power to reboot a malfunctioning camera
* Restrict port access to a single device with an easy point and click to enable port security.

The Milestone-verified plug-in is compatible with XProtect Essential+ 2020 R2 and can be downloaded free from the Allied telesis website here.

The solution has been tested with Allied Telesis PoE switches from the following product series:

* x930 stackable distribution switches with continuous PoE
* x230 managed gigabit edge switches
* FS980M Fast Ethernet edge switches
* GS970M Gigabit edge switches
* IE340 industrial switches with continuous PoE.
