Link/Act/Speed| Amber| Solid Light/Blinking| Connection to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet device. The port is
receiving or transmitting data.
Link/Act/Speed| Off| Light off| No link.
PoE (Ports1 to 4)| Green| Solid Light| The port is successfully connected to a PoE device and is
powering the device properly.

due to PD error, over current or the PoE budget shortage).
PoE Max.| Amber| Solid Light/Blinking/Off| Total power consumption is above 53W. When the PoE power is
available more than 7W, the PoE MAX LED will blink 5 seconds. Total
power consumption is below Power Guard Band (53W).

Product Usage Instructions

Product Setup

Install the DGS-1008P in a cool and dry place. Refer to the
Technical Specifications for the acceptable operating temperature
and humidity ranges.
Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic
source, vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
Leave at least 10 cm of space at the left and right-hand side
of the switch for ventilation.
Visually inspect the power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter. Do not stack any device on top of the
switch.

Connecting the DGS-1008P to Your Network

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to any of the numbered ports on the switch, and the other end to a network device or another switch/hub.
Connect the power adapter to the DC power port on the back of the switch, and plug the power adapter into a surge protector or electrical outlet.
The switch will automatically detect the Ethernet network speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and adjust itself accordingly.

Product Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during setup or usage, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

Setup and Configuration Problems

What should I do if the power LED does not light up?
Check if the power adapter is connected properly to the outlet or surge protector and the back of the device.
What should I do if a connected device is not detected?
Ensure the Port LED is illuminated or flashing. If not, try using a new Ethernet cable.
What should I do if a PoE device is not powered by the DGS-1008P?
Ensure that the PoE device is connected to one of the four PoE enabled ports (1 to 4) and the connected PoE devices do not exceed the maximum power budget of 60 W.

INTRODUCTION

The D-Link DGS-1008P 8-Port Gigabit PoE Desktop Switch is capable of feeding power to Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as network cameras. The DGS- 1008P has 8 ports operating at 10/100/1000Mbps with 4 PoE+ ports (Ports 1 to 4) with a total PoE budget of 60 W, making it ideal for home and small office use.

PRODUCT SETUP

BEFORE SETTING UP THE DGS-1008P

Please follow the steps below to set up the switch:

Install the DGS-1008P in a cool and dry place. Refer to the Technical Specifications for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges.
Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source, vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
Leave at least 10 cm of space at the left and right-hand side of the switch for ventilation.
Visually inspect the power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.

Do not stack any device on top of the switch.

MOUNTING

You may mount the switch on a wall with the included mounting kit. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose.

CONNECTING THE DGS-1008P TO YOUR NETWORK

A. POWER

Plug the DC power jack into the power port of the DGS-1008P, then plug the other end of the AC power cord into a free outlet or surge protector. The Power LED will illuminate confirming that the device has powered up successfully.

B. PoE PORTS (PORTS 1 – 4)
PoE Ports 1 to 4 support 802.3at for up to 30 W per port for individual usage.

C. GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS (PORTS 1-8)
These ports offer network speeds of either 10/100Mbps and 1000Mbps and can operate in half or full-duplex transfer modes. These ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be connected directly to a server, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables.

LED INDICATORS

The LED indicators allow you to monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot any potential problem within the switch, connection, or attached devices.
