The DES-3500 layer 2 Fast Ethernet switches are members of the D-Link xStack
switches to core gigabit switches, the xStack
fault tolerance, flexibility, port density, robust security and maximum throughput with a user-friendly management interface for
the networking professional.
The following manual describes the installation, maintenance and configurations concerning members of the xStack
switch series. These three switches, the DES-3526, DES-3526DC, and the DES-3550 are all very similar in configurations and
basic hardware and consequentially, most of the information in this manual will be universal to the whole xStack
switch series. Corresponding screen pictures of the web manager may be taken from any one of these switches but the
configuration will be identical, except for varying port counts.
Switch Description
The DES-3500 Series switches are equipped with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable ports providing dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps
bandwidth. The Switch has 24 UTP ports (48 UTP ports for the DES-3550) and Auto MDI-X/MDI-II convertible ports that can be
used for unlinking to another switch. These ports can be used for connecting PCs, printers, servers, hubs, routers, switches and
other networking devices. The dual speed ports use standard twisted-pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small,
connected sub networks for superior performance. Each 10/100 port can support up to 200 Mbps of throughput in full-duplex
mode.
In addition, the Switch has 2 Mini-GBIC combo ports. These two-gigabit combo ports are ideal for connecting to a server or
network backbone.
This stand-alone Switch enables the network to use some of the most demanding multimedia and imaging applications
concurrently with other user applications without creating bottlenecks. The built-in console interface can be used to configure the
Switch's settings for priority queuing, VLANs, and port trunk groups, port monitoring, and port speed.
NOTE: For the remainder of this manual, all hardware versions of the DES-3500 Series
switches will be referred to as simply the Switch or the DES-3500 except where the differences
are relevant.
