Introduction
This chapter gives a physical and functional overview of the DES-3224. The DES-3224 is an
intelligent, managed switch, designed for use on medium sized networks as part of the
backbone or for use with other switches and hubs on a larger network.
The chapter is divided into the following sections. Each section briefly describes the features
of the DES-3224. Most of the topics discussed will be explained in greater detail later in the
manual.
The topics covered are:
Summary of Features
Panels of the DES-3224
Management Methods
Updating Firmware
