Power over Ethernet (PoE) module is to use DC power transmitted with wired and wireless data in the terminal box 300, and supports IEEE 802.3af / at, a related standard. There is no need for a separate cable for power supply to the wire) and thus it is possible to manufacture the wired / wireless switch 200 in the form of an outlet installed on the wall.

In addition, the PoE module and the SNMP module and the SNMP server 400 can be linked to remotely shut down or reset the wired / wireless switch 200, and furthermore, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) used in a large facility such as a hospital or a school. When power is supplied to the wired / wireless switch 200 via the terminal box 300, the SNMP server 400 may centrally manage the wired / wireless switch 200.

Quality of Service (QoS) module is designed to implement stable service by controlling traffic congestion in IP network.It supports IEEE 802.1P, a related standard, and allocates appropriate bandwidth for important data or traffic and performs priority processing. Guaranteed.

This can be especially effective where there is a need to guarantee the priority of communication connections in relation to work, such as hospitals and businesses.

The integrated port 260 is a port for receiving wired / wireless Internet data and DC power transmitted and received between the wired / wireless LAN integrated control unit 250 and the terminal box 300 and interworks with a related module of the wired / wireless LAN integrated control unit 250.

A pass through channel is a channel for transmitting and receiving voice data transmitted through the wired telephone 120 and the voice port 220 and voice data transmitted through the terminal box 300 and the voice port 280, respectively. In addition to providing physical connections between voice data lines, it also provides noise protection due to interference between voice data transmitted and received and wired and wireless Internet data.

Meanwhile, the above descriptions using only FIGS. 1 to 2 describe only the main matters of the present invention, and the present invention is limited to the configurations and methods of FIGS. 1 to 2 as long as various designs are possible within the technical scope. It is obvious that it is not limited.
