Hardware:

D-Link warrants its hardware products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the following periods measured from date of purchase from D-Link or its Authorized Reseller:

Product Type

Warranty Period

Complete products

One year

Spare parts and spare kits

90 days

Your dealer, or your nearest D-Link office, can advise whether a longer period of warranty applies to your purchase, and if so, can provide you a separate certificate of supplemental warranty.

The one-year period of warranty on complete products (or such longer period of warranty as may be offered as to your purchase) applies on condition that the product's Registration Card is filled out and returned to a D-Link office within ninety (90) days of purchase. A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual, together with a copy of the Registration Card. Failing such timely registration of purchase, the warranty period shall be limited to ninety (90) days.

If the product proves defective within the applicable warranty period, D-Link will provide repair or replacement of the product. D-Link shall have the sole discretion whether to repair or replace, and replacement product may be new or reconditioned. Replacement product shall be of equivalent or better specifications, relative to the defective product, but need not be identical. Any product or part repaired by D-Link pursuant to this warranty shall have a warranty period of not less than 90 days, from date of such repair, irrespective of any earlier expiration of original warranty period. When D-Link provides replacement, then the defective product becomes the property of D-Link.

Warranty service may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the applicable warranty period, and requesting a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. If a Registration Card for the product in question has not been returned to D-Link, then a proof of purchase (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice) must be provided. If Purchaser's circumstances require special handling of warranty correction, then at the time of requesting RMA number, Purchaser may also propose special procedure as may be suitable to the case.

After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in the original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be prominently marked on the outside of the package. The package must be mailed or otherwise shipped to D-Link with all costs of mailing/shipping/insurance prepaid; D-Link will ordinarily reimburse Purchaser for mailing/shipping/insurance expenses incurred for return of defective product in accordance with this warranty. D-Link shall never be responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data of Purchaser contained in, stored on, or integrated with any product returned to D-Link pursuant to this warranty.

Any package returned to D-Link without an RMA number will be rejected and shipped back to Purchaser at Purchaser's expense, and D-Link reserves the right in such a case to levy a reasonable handling charge in addition mailing or shipping costs.

Software:

Warranty service for software products may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the applicable warranty period. A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual, together with a copy of the Registration Card. If a Registration Card for the product in question has not been returned to a D-Link office, then a proof of purchase (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice) must be provided when requesting warranty service. The term "purchase" in this software warranty refers to the purchase transaction and resulting licence to use such software.

DES-1012 specifications

The D-Link DES-1012 is a robust solution that delivers reliable and efficient networking capabilities, making it ideal for small to mid-sized business environments. This 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch is designed to provide high-performance data transfer, ensuring smooth communication within networks.

One of the primary features of the D-Link DES-1012 is its 12 10/100 Mbps Auto-Negotiation ports. These ports automatically detect the network speed of connected devices, allowing for easy and efficient integration into existing network infrastructures. The switch's plug-and-play design eliminates the need for extensive configuration or setup, making it accessible for users with varying levels of technical expertise.

The DES-1012 supports various network technologies, enhancing its versatility in different environments. It uses (Store-and-Forward) switching, which ensures the integrity of data being transmitted by checking for errors before forwarding packets. This feature is essential in minimizing data loss and ensuring reliable communication between devices. Additionally, the switch offers full-duplex communication, allowing data to be sent and received simultaneously, effectively doubling the bandwidth and improving overall network performance.

Energy efficiency is another key characteristic of the D-Link DES-1012. The switch is designed to reduce power consumption without compromising performance, making it an environmentally friendly choice for businesses looking to lower their energy costs. It achieves this through features like IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, which intelligently manages power usage based on the amount of network traffic.

Furthermore, the D-Link DES-1012 incorporates QoS (Quality of Service) functionality, prioritizing critical applications and ensuring that bandwidth for voice, video, and data traffic is managed effectively. This feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where real-time communication is vital, such as VoIP calls and video conferencing.

In conclusion, the D-Link DES-1012 is a well-rounded Ethernet switch that combines efficiency, performance, and ease of use. Its 12 ports, support for essential networking technologies, commitment to energy efficiency, and QoS functionality ensure that it meets the demands of modern business networks. Whether for expanding existing networking capabilities or establishing new ones, the DES-1012 proves to be a reliable choice.
