ENGLISH Troubleshooting 1. Why can´t I share my Internet connection to multiple computers when using my D-Link DES-1008E switch? If you are connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem, you will need a router to "share" your Internet connection or a computer using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) or Proxy. Switches and hubs do not allow you to share a single IP address to multiple computers. Another alternative is to contact your ISP and purchase extra IP addresses for each additional computer. 2. Does the DES-1008E switch have an uplink port? The DES-1008E has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense the type of cable being used (e.g. Crossover or Straight-through) and adjust themselves accordingly to pass data over the network. 3. What is the maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between the DES-1008E and other devices such as routers, switches, computers, etc.? The maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between computers and other devices on a network is 100 meters or about 328 feet. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical limit. Usually, you will want to keep the distance between devices well below the limit. 15
