Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) provides a cost-effective and high-performance solution for small workgroups, SMBs (Small to Medium Businesses), and any network supporting bandwidth-intensive applications. Fast Ethernet technology operates at 10 times the speed of traditional Ethernet,

Section 1 - Product Overview Switches provide full-line speed and dedicated bandwidth for all connections. This is in contrast to hubs, which use the traditional shared networking topology, where the connected nodes contend for the same network bandwidth. When two switching nodes are communicating, they are connected with a dedicated channel between them, so there is no contention for network bandwidth with other nodes. As a result, the switch reduces considerably, the likelihood of traffic c

Section 1 - Product Overview Features • The DES-1108 is a high performance switch designed specifically for environments where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. • The DES-1108, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-1108 can be installed where space is limited; moreover, it provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions. • The DES-1108 is ideal f

Section 1 - Product Overview Other key features include: • Store-and-forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. • Auto-MDI/MDI-X function supports automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, giving true ‘plug and play’ capability—Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cables can be plugged into any port. • Nway Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing

Section 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview Front Panel (LEDs) Power: This green indicator light is on when the DES-1108 is receiving power; otherwise, it is off. Link/Activity (1-8): This LED indicator light is green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. The green indicator blinks as Ethernet data is transmitted or received. The indicator light is amber when the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet station, or other network device. The amber indicator blinks as

Section 1 - Product Overview Rear Panel (Connections) Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports: All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The AutoMDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch—just plug either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port. DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external DC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the DC power input voltage. Since the DES-1108 does not require a power button,

Section 2 - Installation Installation This section will explain how to connect Ethernet devices to your new D-Link switch and how to mount the switch. Connecting the Switch PC to DES-1108 A computer can be connected to the DES-1108 via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A computer equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps port can be connected to any of the eight DES-1108 ports. The LED indicators for the PC connection depend on the capability of the computer’s Et

Section 2 - Installation Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode, auto-detecting the network speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) for any new twisted-pair connection. If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to select the speed and half-duplex mode is selected.

Section 2 - Installation Mounting the Switch on the Wall The DES-1108 can also be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose. Please make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the illustration below: Mounting on a cement wall 1. Mount the Nylon screw anchors into a cement wall. 2. Drive the T3 x 15L screws into the Nylon screw anchors. 3. Hook the mounting holes of the switch back on the screws. M

Section 3 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Why can´t I share my Internet connection to multiple computers when using my D-Link DES-1108 switch? If you are connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem, you will need a router to “share” your Internet connection or a computer using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) or Proxy. Switches and hubs do not allow you to share a single IP address to multiple computers. Another alternative is to contact your ISP and purchase extra IP addresses for each

Appendix A - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the
