Features
The DES-1008D is a high performance switch designed specifically
for environments where traffic on the network and the number of
users increase continuously.
The DES-1008D, with its small, compact size, was specifically
designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-1008D can
be installed where space is limited; moreover, it provides immediate
access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-
reliable functions.
The DES-1008D is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed
servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups.
With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex
mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free
data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The DES-1008D is scalable, allowing two or more DES-1008Ds to
be cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of
its eight ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to
open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.
The DES-1008D is the perfect choice for a department or office
planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-1008D can
accommodate 10Mbps or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible
solution for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups.
The DES-1008D combines dynamic memory allocation with store-
and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively
allocated for each port; and it controls the data flow between the
transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against possible packet
loss.
The DES-1008D is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
switch that offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of
small Ethernet workgroups.
Other key features include:
Store-and-forward switching scheme capability. As the result of
complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme
prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.
