Features

•The DES-1008E is a high performance switch designed specifically for environments where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.

•The DES-1008E, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-1008E can be installed where space is limited; moreover, it provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.

•The DES-1008E is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups. With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.

•The DES-1008E is scalable, allowing two or more DES-1008E switches to be cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of its eight ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.

•The DES-1008E is the perfect choice for a department or office planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-1008E can accommodate

10Mbps or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups.

•The DES-1008E combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port; and it controls the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against possible packet loss.

•The DES-1008E is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of small

Ethernet workgroups.

Other key features include:

•Store-and-forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.

•Auto-MDI/MDI-X function supports automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, giving true‘plug and play’capability—Crossover or Straight-

Through CAT5 cables can be plugged into any port.

•Nway Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps), providing an automatic and flexible solution for the network.

•Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port’s receiving buffer is full.

•Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for 100Mbps operation and 10Mbps operation.
