INTRODUCTION 
This chapter describes the features of the DES-1016D and some background 
information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. 
Fast Ethernet Technology 
The growing importance of LANs and th e increasing complexity of desktop 
computing applications are fueling the  need for high performance networks. 
A number of high-speed LAN technologi es have been proposed to provide 
greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.  Among them, 
100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution 
from the current 10BASE-T technolo gy.  The non-disruptive and smooth 
evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually 
guarantee cost-effective and high-performance Fast Ethernet solutions in the 
years to come. 
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standa rd specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN 
committee.  It is an extension of th e 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the 
ability to transmit and receive data  at 100Mbps, while maintaining the 
CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 10 0Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible 
with all other 10Mbps Ethernet enviro nments, it provides a straightforward 
upgrade and takes advantage of the exis ting investment in hardware, software, 
and personnel training.

Switching Technology 
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the 
development of switching technology. A switch bridges 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 switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual 
segments.  The switch, without inte rfering with any other segments, 
automatically forwards traf fic that needs to go from one segment to another.  
By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining 
the same network cabling and adapter cards. 
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch  is an effective way of eliminating 
problems 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 netw orks.  Switches supporting both 
traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for 
bridging between the existing 10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps 
networks. 
Switching LAN technology is a mark ed improvement over the previous 
generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies.  
Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a 
router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively 
impractical.  Today switches are an ideal  solution to most kinds of local area

UNPACKING AND SETUP 
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the DES-1016D. 
Unpacking 
Open the shipping carton for the Switch and carefully unpack its contents.  
The carton should contain the following items: 
9  One  DES-1016D 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch 
9 One AC power cord, suitable for  your area’s electrical power 
connections 
9  Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning 
9 Screws and two mounting brackets 
9 Quick Installation Guide 
9 This User’s Guide 
If any item is found missing or damage d, please contact your local reseller 
for replacement. 
Setup 
Please consider the following  when setting up the Switch: 
1.   The surface must support at least 5 kg.  
2.   The power outlet should be within 1.42 meters (6 feet) of the device. 
3.   Visually inspect the power cord and see  that it is secured fully to the AC 
power connector.

4.  Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate 
ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. 
Desktop Installation 
When installing the Switch on a desktop, the rubber feet included 
with the device must be attached  first. Attach these cushioning 
feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough 
ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.

Rack Mounting 
The DES-1016D can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, 
which can be placed in a wiring closet  with other equipment.  Attach the 
mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure 
them with the provided screws.
