ABOUT THIS MANUAL Congratulations on your purchase of the DGS-1248T Web Smart 48-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This manual discusses how to install your 48-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Web Smart Switch.
INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the DGS-1248T Web Smart 48-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same...
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. 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 dividing a local area network into different segments, which do not compete with each other for network transmission capacity.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup, and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the...
The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the Switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
The Switch uses the AC power supply 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The Switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
(see the LED Indicators chapter below). 1000BASE-T Twisted Pair Ports (Port 1~48) The DGS-1248T is equipped with fourty-eight Gigabit twisted pair ports that are auto negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and also support auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection. These ports can operate in half- and full-duplex modes.
Rear Panel Figure 5. Rear panel of the Switch AC Power Connector: This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100-240V AC...
Figure 6. LED indicators of the Switch Power and System LEDs POWER: System Power Indicator : When the Power LED lights on, the Switch is receiving power. When the Power turns off or the power cord has an improper connection.
Speed: Green When the Speed LED lights green, the respective port is connected to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet network. Amber When the Speed LED lights amber, the respective port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network. When the Speed LED lights off, the respective port is connected to a 10Mbps Fast Ethernet network.
CONFIGURATION Through the Web Browser you can configure the Switch functions such as VLAN, Trunking, QoS… etc. With the attached Web Management Utility, you can easily discover all Web Managed Switches, assign the IP Address, change the password, and upgrade with new firmware.
Monitor List, Device Setting, and Toolbar function, for detailed instructions, follow the section below. Discovery List This is the list where you can discover all the Web managed devices in the entire network. By pressing the “Discovery” button, you can list all the Web Managed devices in the discovery list.

The symbol “ ” represents the trap signal; this symbol will disappear after you review and click on the event record. Figure 9. Note: In order to receive Trap information, the Switch has to be configured with Trap IP and Trap Events in the Web browser, which are available in the...
“Set” button to process the data change immediately. The default password of this 48-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch configuration is “admin.” Figure 10. Configuration Setting Password Change: You can use this when you need to change the password.
Firmware Upgrade: When the device has a new function, there will be a new firmware to update the device; use this function to upgrade the firmware Figure 12. Web Access: Double click the device in the Monitor List or select a device in the Monitor List and press the “Web Access”...

IP network. For example, when the default network address of the default IP address of the Web Smart Switch is 192.168.0.1, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
After entering the password, the main page appears, and the screen will display the device status. Figure 15. Device Status Setup Menu When the main page appears, find the Setup menu on the left side of the screen (Figure 16). Click on the setup item that you want to configure. There are eleven options: Port Settings, VLAN Settings, Trunk Setting, Mirror Setting, Device Status, Statistics, System Settings, Trap Setting, Password Setting, Backup Setting, and Reset Setting as shown in the Main Menu...
Figure 16. Setup menu Configuring Setup Setting There are four items, including Port Settings, VLAN Settings, Trunk Settings, and Mirror Settings in Setup menu. Port Settings In the Port Settings menu (Figure 17), this page will display each port’s status. Press the ID parameter to set each port’s Speed, Flow Control, QoS priority, and Link Status.
Page 27
Figure 17. Port Setting Note 1: Be sure to reset the Gigabit port when transferring the media type (Fiber to Copper or Copper to Fiber). Note 2: The priority of Gigabit Fiber port is higher than Copper. To change the port setting, click on the ID parameter to enter the selected port to configure its Speed/Disable, Flow control, and QoS setting.
When the port is set to forced mode, the flow control will automatically be set to Disable. QoS: The Switch supports two kinds of QoS mode, one is 802.1p based QoS and the other is port based QoS. When the port receives a data packet that includes the 802.1p QoS Tag, the priority rule will follow the 802.1p QoS Tag.

Port VID Setting: When you select Port VLAN setting, fill in each port’s PVID value between 1 and 4094. Figure 18. Figure 19.
TCI (Tag Control Information) data packets. Figure 20. Trunk Setting The Trunk function enables the Switch to cascade two or more devices with larger bandwidths. There are ten Trunking groups to be set, and there are default ports in each member.
Page 31
Figure 21. Trunk Settings Be sure that the selected trunk setting port is connected to the device with a same VLAN group.
Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.
Press “Refresh” when you need to renew the posted information. Figure 23. Statistics The Statistics Menu screen will show the status of each port packet count.
Page 34
Figure 24. Statistics For detailed packet information, click on the ID parameter as in Figure 25.
System Setting The System Setting includes the System name, Location name, Login Timeout, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Through the Web Management Utility, you can easily recognize the device by using the System Name and the Location Name. The Login Timeout is to set the idle time-out for security issues. When there is no action in running the Web Smart Utility and it times out, you must re-login to Web Smart Utility before you set the Utility.
Switch will be restored to the default setting. Figure 28. Set Password Backup Setting The backup tools help you to backup the current setting of the Switch. Once you need to backup the setting, press the “Backup” button to save the setting.
To restore a current setting file to the device, you must specify the backup file and press the “Restore” button to process the setting of the recorded file. Figure 29. Backup Setting Note: When restoring a recorded file, the current password will not be erased.
