extension of the 10BaseT Ethernet standard, designed to raise the data transmission capacity of 10BaseT from 10Mbits/sec to 100Mbits/sec. An important technology incorporated by 100BaseT is its use of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol - which is the same protocol that 10BaseT uses - because of its ability to work with several different types of cable, including basic twisted-pair wiring.

For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating the problem of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks.

LEDs LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode The front panel LEDs provides instant status feedback and simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting tasks. LED indicators of the Switch POWER When the Power LED light is on, the Switch is receiving power. When the Power LED light is off , the power cord is improperly connected.

Blinking When the LED is blinking, the respective port is transferring or receiving data on a 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet network. No link. 1000Mbps When the LED lights on, the respective port is connected to a Gigabit Ethernet network. The respective port is connected to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet network, or no link.
1000BASE-T Twisted Pair Ports (Port 25~26) The DES-1026G is equipped with two Gigabit twisted pair ports that are auto negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and also support auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection. These two ports can operate in half- and full- duplex modes. Rear Panel AC Power Connector This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord.

When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protects the hub case from scratching. Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom Rack Mounting The DES-1026G can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipments.

Connecting Network Cable The DES-1026G supports 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. It runs full/half duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps. Each port on the DES-1026G supports Auto- MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X is a feature that eliminates the need for worrying about using either a standard or crossover cable—you can use either one—and allows any port to be an uplink port.
