  • Page 9: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

    D-Link DGS-1016T/DGS-1024T Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

  • Page 12: Gigabit Ethernet Technology

    Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for C SMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet.
  • Page 13: 802.1P And Qos

    802.1P and QoS The DGS-1024T and DGS-1016T Switches support 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service. The imp lementation of QoS (Quality of Service) and benefits of using 802.1p priority queuing are described here. Advantages of QoS QoS is an implementation of the IEEE 802.1p standard that allows network administrators a method of reserving bandwidth for important functions that require a large bandwidth or have a high priority, such as VoIP (voice-over Internet Protocol), web browsing applications, file server applications or video...
  • Page 14: D-Link Green Ethernet Technology

    The Switch uses strict priority for Scheduling. Strict priority-based scheduling, any packets residing in the higher priority queues are transmitted first. D-Link Green Ethernet Technology D-Link Green Ethernet imp lements special power-saving features under speed at 1000Mbps that detect cable length and link status and adjust power usage accordingly.
  • Page 15 Method 2: D-Lin k Green Ethernet detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage accordingly without affecting performance. This way, a port connected to a 10m cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, wh ich is only needed for 100m cables.

    Front-Panel Components Note: The Switch illustrations used for this manual depict only the model DGS-1016T Switch. On the front panel of the Switch you will see the following. • LED status indicators • 16 Auto-Negotiating 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps ports on the DGS-1016T •...
  • Page 17: Cable Diagnostics

    Cable Diagnostics Upon booting up the Switch, a Cable Diagnostics is used to detect two problems that may prevent successful connection. This feature operates only on ports that are connected to 1000Mbps devices. If there are problems on a port connected to a Gigabit Ethernet device (1000Mbps), try restarting the Switch and watch the speed (100/ 1000Mbps) LED indicators to determine is the problem is a fault in the cable or connecting hardware.
