1 Product Introduction D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual 1 Product Introduction Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link SmartPro Switch Products. D-Link's next generation SmartPro Ethernet switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a new style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advance features including four 1000BASE-X SFP slots for fiber connection, network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management. Flexible Port Configurations. Four port densities are available for selection: 16, 24, and 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Supporting auto-detection of MDI/MDIX, these switches bring inexpensive and easy Ethernet connection to the desktops. DGS-1500 series provides 4 SFP slots, which supports 1000M fiber connections with appropriate fiber transceivers. DGS-1500-28P provides 4 combo SFP slots, which supports both 1000M and 100M fiber connections with appropriate fiber transceivers. The first 24 ports also support up to 15.4 or 30 watts PoE power for the connections of wireless access points, IP phones and other PoE-supported devices, allowing them to be deployed at difficult places such as on high walls and ceilings, where AC power outlets are not readily available. D-Link Green Technology. D-Link Green devices are about providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy consumption on DGS-1500 series such as reducing power when a port does not have a device attached, or adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it. For PoE model such as DGS1500-28P, D-Link Green Technology offers Time-based PoE feature to shut down per port power off working hours. Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP, SNTP, LLDP and Loopback Detection to enhance performance and network resiliency. Extensive Layer 3 Features. Implemented as complete L3 devices, these switches include functions such as IP interface, static route, IPv6 Static Route, ARP and single IP management to enhance performance and network resiliency. QoS. The switches supports bandwidth control and 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run bandwidthsensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that traffic in network. These functions allow switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic and IPv6 traffic class priority in the network. Network Security. D-Link's innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port Security is another simple but useful authentication method to maintain the network device integrity. Also supports DHCP Server Screening, SSL, SSH and Smart Binding features. Versatile Management. The new generation of D-Link Web Smart Switches provides growing businesses with a simple and easy management of their network, using an intuitive SmartConsole utility or a Web-Based management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link web smart switches with the same L2 network segment connected to the user's local PC. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of the PC and provide easy initial settings of the smart switches. The switches within the same L2 network segment connected to the user's local PC are displayed on the screen for instant access. It allows extensive switch configuration settings, and basic configuration of discovered devices, such as a password change or firmware upgrade. Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI). 2
