Features - D-Link DES-1008E User Manual

• The DES-1008E is a high performance switch designed specifically for environments where traffic on the network and the number of users
increase continuously.
• The DES-1008E, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-1008E 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-1008E is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups. With
the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server.
• The DES-1008E is scalable, allowing two or more DES-1008E switches to be cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one
of its eight ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.
• The DES-1008E is the perfect choice for a department or office planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-1008E can accommodate
10Mbps or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups.
• The DES-1008E combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated
for each port; and it controls the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against possible packet loss.
• The DES-1008E is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of small
Ethernet workgroups.
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 of speed (10/100Mbps), providing an automatic and flexible solution for
the network.
• Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full.
• Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for 100Mbps operation and 10Mbps operation.
