Switch Description
The 16-port DGS-1016D and 24-port DGS-1024D Switches provide
dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth on each port. The
ports will automatically detect the speed, duplex and MDI/MDIX status of
the device it is connecting to, and adjust these settings accordingly. The
Switch ports can be used to network computers, printers, servers, routers,
other switches or any device equipped with an Ethernet port. For best
performance, use Category 5 or better Ethernet cabling.
This stand-alone Switch is very easy to set up, there is no network
management required. Just power on the Switch and connect the cables.
Keep in mind however that the standard rules of Ethernet regarding cable
length apply to this and all Ethernet devices. The length of an Ethernet
cable from one device to another cannot exceed 100 meters (or 300 feet).
