D-Link D Link 8 Port Manual

 
3 Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol 
transmitting among connected 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 don’t compete with each other 
for network transmission capacity. 
The DES-1008D acts as a high-speed selective bridge...

4 Features The DES-1008D was designed for easy installation and high 
performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the 
number of users increase continuously. 
The DES-1008D with its small, compact size was specifically 
designed for small to middle workgroups. The DES-1008D can be 
installed where space is limited; moreover, the DES-1008D provides 
immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range 
of functions. 
The DES-1008D is ideal for deployment with multiple...

 
5 ??Uplink/ MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplink to 
another switch, hub or repeater.   
??Store and forward switching scheme capability.  As the result of 
complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme 
prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. 
??NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-
sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with 
automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections. 
??Flow control for any port....

Unpacking and Setup This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the 
DES-1008D. 
Unpacking Open the box and carefully unpacks its contents.  The box should 
contain the following items: 
? One DES-1008D 
? One external power adapter 
? This User’s Guide. 
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local 
reseller for replacement. 
 
Setup The setup for the DES-1008D can be performed using the following 
steps: 
??The surface must support at least 1.5 Kg for the...

 
7 IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of  the 
DES-1008D. Both the front and rear panels are shown followed by 
a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is 
described in detail in the next chapter. 
 
Front Panel 
The figure below shows the front panel of the DES-1008D.  
 
? LED Indicator Panel 
 Refer to the LED Indicator section for detailed information about  
 each of the DES-1008D’s LED indicators.

Full-Duplex/Collision  (Full-Duplex/Collision) 
This LED indicator lights green when a respective port is in full 
duplex (FDX) mode.  Otherwise, it is blinking when collisions are 
occurring on the respective port. 
100M Link/Activity, 10M Link/Activity (100M LINK/ACT(green), 
10LINK/ACT(amber)) 
This indicator lights green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps 
Fast Ethernet station, if the indicator blinking green will be 
transmission or received data on the 100Mbps network. Otherwise, if...

? MDI-X Jacks: Use these jacks to connect stations to the hub. These 
are MDI-X (Medium-Dependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, 
which mean, you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair 
cables to connect user machines and servers to the hub through 
them. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack, 
such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a 
crossover cable, or make the connection using the MDI-X jack 
(described below). 
? Uplink Jack(s) (MDI-II): Use this...

10 CONNECTING THE DES-1008D This chapter describes how to connect the DES-1008D to your Fast 
Ethernet network.  In each of the following figures, the DES-1008D is 
shown.  
PC to DES-1008D A PC can be connected to DES-1008D via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 
UTP/STP straight cable.  The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps 
phone jack) can be connected to any of the 8 ports (1x - 8x).   
The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card’s 
capabilities. If LED indicators are not lit after...

 
11 A. 10BASE-T Hub  
For a 10BASE-T hub, the DES-1008D LED indicators should light up 
as the following:  
“Full-Duplex/Collision” indicator is OFF. 
“100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT LED” indicator is light amber. 
B. 100BASE-TX Hub 
For a 100BASE-TX hub, the DES-1008D LED indicators should light 
up as the following: 
“Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator is OFF.  
“100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator is light green. 
Hub without Uplink (MDI-II) port If a hub is not equipped with an uplink (MDI-II) port,...

12 A. Using straight cable  
When using straight cable, this is done from the uplink (MDI-II) port 
of the DES-1008D (DES-1008D A) to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps  
(MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices. 
B. Using crossover cable  
When using crossover cable, this is done from any (MDI-X) port of 
the DES-1008D (DES-1008D A) to any of the 10Mbps, 100Mbps  
(MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices.
