INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the DES-1024D and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology Ethernet, along with its speedier counterpart Fast Ethernet, is the most popular networking standard in use today. 100BaseT Fast Ethernet is an extension of the 10BaseT Ethernet standard, designed to raise the data transmission capacity of 10BaseT from 10Mbits/sec to 100Mbits/sec. An important strategy incorporated

Switching Technology Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a LAN. If an Ethernet network begins to display symptoms of congestion, low throughput, slow response times, and high rates of collision, installing a switch to a network can preserve much or all of the existing network's cabling and workstation interface card infrastructure, while still greatly enhancing the throughput for users. A switch is a viable solution even if de

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network hubs and bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required, make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The DES-1024D is a high-performance switch designed specifically for envi

UNPACKING AND SETUP Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the DES-1024D and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One DES-1024D 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch One AC power cord Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning Screws and two mounting brackets This manual If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the DES-1024D can be performed by using the followin

included with the device should be attached first, to minimize scratching or scarring of the surface on which the Switch is placed. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. Fast Ethernet Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Mounting The DES-1024D can be mounted in an EIA standard-size 19-inch rack, in a 6

100Mbps (green) This green LED indicator illuminates when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. The LED does not illuminate when the port is connected to 10Mbps Ethernet station. Twisted-Pair Ports These ports support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function providing true ‘plug and play’ connectivity, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Any port can be simply plugged to a server, workstation, or hub using the usual straight-thr
