Hardware Installation
This chapter provides more detailed instructions for grounding and installing
the DGS-1026MP.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cable is disconnected before installing the
switch.
Installation Precautions
For safe installation and operation of the Switch, it is recommended to:
- Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.
- Make sure that there is at least 10 cm of space on each side of the Switch to allow for proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the Switch.
- Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic sources, vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
- Install the Switch in a cool and dry place. Refer to the technical specifications section of this manual for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges.
- Not place heavy objects on the Switch.
Grounding the Switch
This section describes how to connect the Switch to ground. It is necessary to
complete this procedure before powering on the Switch.
Required Tools and Equipment
- One ground screw (this Switch is shipped with this screw already in place on the rear panel of the device).
- Ground cable (not included in the accessory kit): The grounding cable should conform to local and national installation requirements. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of the Switch to proper grounding facilities.
- A screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit).
The following steps explain the procedure for connecting the Switch to a protective ground:
- Verify that the Switch is powered off.
- Remove the grounding screw marked SWITCH GND from the back of the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of the grounding cable on top of the ground screw opening, as seen in the figure below.
- Insert the grounding screw back into the ground screw opening.
- Using a screwdriver, tighten the ground screw to secure the ground cable to the Switch.
- Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding source.
- Verify that the connection from the ground connector on the Switch to the ground source is secure.
Attaching the Rubber Feet
The DGS-1026MP comes with a strip of four adhesive rubber pads that can be
placed on the bottom of the device to prevent the Switch from damaging the
surface it is placed on. This allows the Switch to be placed virtually
anywhere. To attach the rubber pads, simply remove them from the adhesive
strip and stick one pad on each corner on the bottom panel of the Switch.
Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The DGS-1026MP can be easily mounted in a rack using the two provided mounting brackets. Make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the following illustrations:
- Attach and fasten the rack mounting brackets to each side of the Switch using the included screws.
- Firmly secure the brackets with the Switch to the rack. Please follow the usual safety precautions for rackmountable products.
Powering on the
Switch
To power on the Switch, connect the provided power cable to the power socket
on the back of the Switch, and connect the adapter side of the cord to a
suitable power source.
After the Switch has been powered on, the LED indicators will blink briefly
while the system initializes.
As a precaution, in the event of a power failure it is recommended to unplug
the Switch. When power has been restored, plug the Switch back in.
Connecting the Switch
After the DGS-1026MP has been successfully installed, the Switch can be
integrated into the network through one of the following three connection
methods:
NOTE: All Ethernet ports auto-detect MDI/MDIX, port speed (10, 100, or
1000 Mbps), and duplex mode of the device connected to the Switch.
Cable Quality
For all connections to the Switch, use these rules for cable selection:
- For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable.
- For connections to 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T devices, use Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable. All 1000BASE-T connections will operate in full-duplex mode.
NOTE: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cabling is adequate for most
small office environments. More expensive STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) can also
be used, but is generally only needed when there is risk of strong
electromagnetic interference due to radio frequencies.
Connect to an End Node
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the Switch to PCs with a
10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 interface, or connect and power remote IEEE 802.3af/at-
compliant PoE devices, such as IP cameras or IP phones. The Switch ports will
automatically adjust to the hardware characteristics (MDI/MDIX, speed, duplex
mode) of the connected device.
Connect to a Hub or Switch
Use a straight or crossover cable to connect the Switch to another switch or
hub.
Connect to a Network Backbone or Server
Use any port on the device to connect the Switch to a network backbone or
network server. When linking to a 1000BASE-T device, the port operates in
full-duplex mode.
Understanding the Switch’s Features
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
The DGS-1026MP supports many PoE features to guarantee the safety and
stability of the Switch and the connected powered devices.
PoE Power Budget: The total PoE budget of the DGS-1026MP is limited to a
maximum of 370 watts to both protect the Switch and to stabilize the power
being transmitted to the PoE-powered devices.
Guard Band : The DGS-1026MP reserves a 2 watts Guard Band to prevent the
PoE power supply from exceeding the maximum PoE power budget of 370 watts.
When the Switch detects the current PoE output has reached the maximum of 370
watts, and another device is connected to the Switch, the Switch will check
which type of device is being connected. If the device is another PoE-powered
device, the Switch will disconnect the power on the port with the higher port
number in order to power the new device.
PoE Port Priority: The DGS-1026MP is configured to have predefined PoE
priorities for all PoE ports to prevent problems such as power budget
overloading. Lower number ports have a higher priority for supplying power
than higher number ports (i.e. port 1 > port 2 > … > port 24). When the Switch
detects a PoE budget overload, the power supply from the higher number ports
will be cut off first.
For example : When ports 2 to 13 are supplying a combined total of 370
watts of power to the attached clients, and a new PoE-powered device is
connected to port 1, the power supply from port 13 will be disconnected first.
Power Saving
The DGS-1026MP supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which
will constantly monitor all ports for activity and will put inactive ports
into a sleep mode to save power.
