This guide provides instructions to install the D-Link DES-1018P/MP switches. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter capitalized) refers to the DES-1018P/MP, and “switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches. Some technologies refer to terms “switch”, “bridge” and “switching hubs”...
The first 8 10/100M ports of DES-1018P and all 16 10/100M ports of DES-1018MP support IEEE 802.3af PoE and are capable of feeding power up to 15.4 watts per port. The DES-1018P/MP switches are easy to install and require no configuration. This simplicity is useful for SOHO and SMB users who have limited budgets but require PoE capability in a switch.

D-Link Switch User Manual DES-1018P/MP has been giving customers the best option for physical security through a Kensington Security Slot in the rear panel. The Kensington Security Slot adds value to DES-1018P/MP by offering customers a simple, built-in security solution.
Step 2: Switch Installation Please follow the steps below to set up the Switch: 1. Install the DES-1018P/MP in a cool and dry place. Refer to the Technical Specifications for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges. 2. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source, vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
As a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the Switch. When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in. Step 5: Connecting the Switch Users can attach IEEE 802.3af compliant devices to the PoE ports on the DES-1018P/MP by plugging in an Ethernet cable. •...
D-Link Switch User Manual NOTE: All Ethernet ports auto-detect MDI/MDIX, port speed (10, 100, 1000 Mbps) and duplex of the device connected to the Switch. Cable Quality For all connections to the Switch, use these rules for cable selection: • For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable.
D-Link Switch User Manual Observe the guidelines for cable quality stated at the beginning of this section. The Link/Act/Speed LEDs for ports 1 to 16 light up green when the link is valid. The LEDs for ports 17 to 18 light up amber at 10/100 Mbps and green at 1000 Mbps.
Understanding the Switch Features PoE Rule DES-1018P/MP supports many PoE features to guarantee the safety and stability of its PoE power supply. PoE Power Budget: DES-1018P/MP has set a limitation of maximum PoE power supply at 80/246.4 (DES- 1018P/MP) watts to protect the Switch and to stabilize the power being transmitted to the PoE devices.
