Features - D-Link DSH-16+ User Manual

Features

This high performance DSS-16+ was designed for a network environment
where traffic and the number of users increase continuously.
DSS-16+, with their small, desktop size, was specifically design for small to
middle workgroups. It provides immediate access to a rapidly growing
network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
DSS-16+ is ideal for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups
with multiple high-speed servers. With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps
(Full-Duplex mode), each port can provide a workstation with congestion-
free data-pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
DSS-16+ is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all
ports support 200Mbps (Full-Duplex mode), the Switch can be cascaded
from any port and to any number of switches.
DSS-16+ is a perfect choice for 10Mbps network site that could be upgraded
to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch
now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without changing the
Switch or reconfiguring the network.
DSS-16+ combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward
switching method to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each
port. It also controls the data flow between transmit and receive nodes to
guarantee against all possible packet loss.
DSS-16+ is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch that offers
solutions to increase Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are
as followed:
Uplink/MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplink to another
switch or hub.
Store and forward switching scheme. As the result of complete frame
checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages
from transmitting among segments.
