Rear Panel (Connections)

ENGLISH

Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports:

All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The AutoMDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch—just plug either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port.

Power Jack:

Power is supplied through an external power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the power input voltage.

Since the DES-1008E does not require a power button, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on.
