BOUT UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the DES-1024D 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities into one highly flexible solution. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your DES-1024D. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “Switch”...
NTRODUCTION 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.
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.
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 environments where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.
Setup The setup of the DES-1024D can be performed by using the following steps: 1. The surface must support at least 11 lbs (5 kg). 2. The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.42 meters) 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...
