Setup The DGS-1224T Gigabit Smart Switch
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
A. Install the DGS-1224T in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical
Specification for the acceptable operation temperature and humidity ranges.
B. Install the DGS-1224T in a site free from strong electromagnetic field
generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
C. Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear of
the hub for ventilation.
D. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter.
E. Install the DGS-1224T on a sturdy, level surface that can support its
weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack.
F. When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet
to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the
hub case from scratching.
Rack Mounting
The DGS-1224T can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can
be placed in a wiring closet with other equipments. Attach the mounting
brackets to both sides of the Switch (one at each side), and secure them with
the provided screws.
Use the screws provided. Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to
mount the Switch in the rack.
Connecting Network Cable
The DGS-1224T supports 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. It runs full/half
duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer mode for
1000Mbps. Each port on the DGS-1224T supports Auto MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X
is a feature that eliminates the need for worrying about using either a
standard or crossover cable— you can use either one— and allows any port to be
an uplink port.
AC Power
The DGS-1224T can be used with AC power supply 100~240V AC, 50~60Hz. The power
switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector
and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power
source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN
segment cables connected.
