Page 4: Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from potential damage. Safety Cautions To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions. Observe and follow service markings. - Page 5 • To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location: – 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan. – 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan. – 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. • Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.

Page 6: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis. -
Page 7: Product Overview
• Do not place heavy objects on the switch. Introduction D-Link Green Ethernet Technology D-Link Green Ethernet Technology implements special power-saving features under speed at 1000Mbps that detect cable length and link status and adjust power usage accordingly. Green Ethernet Technology saves energy in two specific ways: 1. If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned off ) the port(s) will enter a “... -
Page 8: Fast Ethernet Technology
Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) provides a cost-effective and high-performance solution for small workgroups, SMBs (Small to Medium Businesses), and any network supporting bandwidth-intensive applications. -
Page 9: Switching Technology
VoIP phone that supports 802.1p can assign a priority to its VoIP traffic and when it enters the switch the switch can give it a higher priority so that voice traffic is always clear and jitter free. The DGS-1008G supports the 802.1p feature with 4 preconfigured priority queues. When a frame tagged with an 802.1p priority bit is received by the switch it places the frame into one of 4 queues prioritized according to its tag number. -
Page 10: Features

Page 11: Hardware Overview
Hardware Overview Top Panel (LEDs) The LED indicators of the Switch include Power and Link/Act/Speed. The following shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator (refer to the next page). - Page 12 Power Indicator This green indicator illuminates when the Switch is receiving power. Link/Act/Speed This indicator illuminates steadily when a port is connected to a device successfully and has a good link. The indicator will blink to indicate that a port is transmitting or receiving data on the network. The LED will illuminate amber when the port is connected to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet station.

Power is supplied through an external power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the power input voltage. Since the DGS-1008G does not require a power button, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on. -
Page 14: Installation
Installation This section will explain how to connect Ethernet devices to your new D-Link switch and how to mount the switch. Before You Connect to the Network The site where you install the Switch may greatly affect its performance. Please follow these guidelines for setting up the Switch. • Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) of weight. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. • The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. -
Page 15: Mounting The Switch On The Wall
Mounting the Switch on the Wall The DGS-1008G can also be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose. Please make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the illustration below: Mounting on a cement wall 1. -
Page 16: Connecting The Switch
Connecting the Switch DGS-1008G to End Node End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 1000Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the Switch. -
Page 17: Troubleshooting
The DGS-1008G has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense the type of cable being used (e.g. Crossover or Straight-through) and adjust themselves accordingly to pass data over the network. 3. What is the maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between the DGS-1008G and other devices such as routers, switches, computers, etc.? The maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between computers and other devices on a network is 100 meters or about 328 feet. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical limit. Usually, you will want to keep the distance between devices well... -

Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter or if you already have an Ethernet adapter installed on your computer, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. -
