1 A BOUT T HIS G UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the DES-1024D 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities into one highly flexible solution. Purpose This guide disc usses how to install your DES -1024D.
2 I NTRODUCTION This chapter describe s the features of the DES-1024D and some backgrou nd informati on about Ethernet/F ast Ethernet swit ching technol ogy. Fast Ethernet Technology Ethernet, along with its spe edier counterpart Fast Ethernet, is the most popular networking standard in use today.
3 Switching Technology Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to us ers on a LAN. If a n Ethernet netw ork begins to display symptoms of congestion, low t.
4 latencies. Rout ers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup an d maintenance re quired make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solu tion to most kinds of local area network c ongestion problem s.
5 The implementation of QoS (Quality of Service) and benefits of using 802.1p priority q ueuing are described here. Advantages of QoS QoS is an implementation of the IEEE 802.
6 Mapping QoS on the Switch The picture above shows the default pr iority setting for the Switch . Class-1 has higher prior ity than Class-0 on th e Switch. In order to im plement QoS, the user is required to instruct the Switch to examine the he ader of a packet to see if it has the proper identifying tag tagg ed.

8 Desktop Installation When install ing the DES-1024D on a desktop or shelf, the rubbe r feet included with the device should be attached fir st, to minimize scratching or scarring of the surface on which th e Switch is place d. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device.

An important point after buying a device D-Link DES-1024D (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought D-Link DES-1024D yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data D-Link DES-1024D - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, D-Link DES-1024D you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get D-Link DES-1024D will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of D-Link DES-1024D, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime D-Link DES-1024D.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with D-Link DES-1024D. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device D-Link DES-1024D along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
