Managing The Dss-24 - D-Link DSS-24 User Manual

DSS-24 10/100 Auto Negotiation Switch User's Guide
The DSS-24 is an unmanaged switch. You can change two values: the physical
state of the ports and the flow control. You cannot make any other changes and
configurations.
The only way to change the configuration is to connect a workstation or laptop to
the DSS-24 with an RS-232 serial cable and make the desired changes. The DSS-
24 is not password protected. Anyone who connects to the DSS-24 with an RS-
232 cable can make changes.

The connection times out after five minutes. Press Enter to reestablish the
connection. This setting cannot be changed or disabled. If you have not done
anything on the DSS-24 for more than five minutes, it will time out. Press Enter
one time to refresh the screen.
