D-Link DGS-1024T Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Preface The DGS-1024T Manual is divided into sections that describe the system installation and operating instructions with examples. Section 1, Introduction - A description of the physical features of the switch, including LED indicators, ports and panel descriptions.
• To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location: – 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan –...
D-Link DGS-1024T Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Safety Instructions (continued) • Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country.
D-Link DGS-1024T Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Safety Instructions (continued) Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first. Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments that do not compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreasing the load on each segment.
Switch Description The DGS-1024T Switch unit is equipped with twenty-four ports providing dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps bandwidth. These ports can be used for connecting PCs, servers, hubs and other Ethernet devices. The twenty- four tri-speed ports use standard twisted pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small, connected subnets.
Two Gigabit Ethernet Combo ports for making 1000BASE-T and Mini GBIC connections Front-Panel Components The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators, 24 (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports and 2 Mini GBIC Combo ports. Figure 1 - 1. Front Panel View of the switch as shipped Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network.
The system fans are used to dissipate heat. The sides of the system also provide heat vents to serve the same purpose. Do not block these openings, and leave at least 4 inches of space at the rear and sides of the switch for proper ventilation.
D-Link DGS-1024T Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Gigabit Combo Ports In addition to the 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the Switch features two Mini-GBIC Combo ports. These two ports are 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports (built-in) and Mini-GBIC ports (optional). See the diagram below to view the two Mini-GBIC port modules being plugged into the Switch.
The site where you install the Switch may greatly affect its performance. Please follow these guidelines for setting up the Switch. • Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 6.6 pounds (3 kg) of weight. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. •...
Installing the Switch Without the Rack When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the Switch should first be attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the Switch and any other objects in the vicinity.
Figure 2- 3. Installing Switch in a rack Power On Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power connector of the Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet. After the Switch is powered on, the LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators means the system is resetting.
End nodes include PCs, routers and other network devices outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet ports. An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 (or better) UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the Switch.

Switch connected to a port on a hub or switch using either a straight or crossover cable– any standard Ethernet cable is fine Connecting To Network Backbone or Server The Mini-GBIC ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode.
A port that does not learn device addresses, and receives all frames with an unknown address. Backbone ports are normally used to connect the Switch to the backbone of your network. Note that backbone ports were formerly known as designated downlink ports.

Switch: A device which filters, forwards and floods packets based on the packet’s destination address. The switch learns the addresses associated with each switch port and builds tables based on this information to be used for the switching decision.
