The following manual describes the installation, maintenance and configurations concerning members of the
DES-3010F/DES-3010FL/DES-3010G/DES-3016/DES-3018/DES-3026 Switch group. These switches are
identical in configurations and very similar in basic hardware and consequentially, most of the information
in this manual will be universal to the total group of Switches. Corresponding screen pictures of the web
manager may be taken from any one of these switches but the configuration will be identical, except for
varying port counts. For the remainder of this document, we will refer primarily to the DES-3026 as the
switch in question for examples, configurations and explanations.
Switch Description
The DES-3010F/DES-3010FL/DES-3010G/DES-3016/DES-3018/DES-3026 is a high performance 8/16/24-
port Fast Ethernet switch. Comprising 10/100Mbps switched unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) and Auto MDI-
X/MDI-II convertible ports, and each model having its own uplink port capability, this Switch will be ideal
for segmenting networks into smaller, sub-connected networks for optimum throughput capability of the
most demanding multimedia and imaging applications available on the network without creating
bottlenecks. These ports can also be used for connecting PCs, printers, servers, hubs, routers, switches and
other networking devices, each supporting up to 200 Mbps of throughput in full-duplex mode.
The open slots available on the DES-3018/DES-3026 models, the gigabit port on the DES-3010G and the
fiber-optic port on the DES-3010F and DES-3010FL can provide an uplink to a server or network backbone.
The built-in console interface can be used to configure the Switch’s settings for priority queuing, VLANs,
and port trunk groups, port monitoring, and port speed.
