10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

NOTE: To perform a factory reset, turn the device off. Power on the device again and the factory settings should now be in effect.

Parameters in this screen are described in the following table.

Field

Description

PID

Displays the number of the currently selected port.

 

 

EN

Displays the RX/TX status of the selected port, Enable or

 

Disable.

 

 

Link

Displays the current status of the link between the selected port

 

and the connected node. This can be Up or Down.

 

 

AN

Displays the Auto Negotiation function status of the selected

 

port. This can be On or Off.

 

 

Spd

Displays the Port Speed associated with duplex mode. This

 

can be 10(10M/HDX), 20(10M/FCX), 100(100M/HDX), or 200

 

(100M/FDX).

 

 

Dupx

Displays the Duplex mode of the selected port. This can be Full

 

or Half Duplex mode. Full duplex transmissions effectively

 

double your bandwidth by carrying out transmission and receipt

 

of packets at the same time.

 

Each port in the 12-port NWay switch can be set for half duplex

 

or full duplex mode. You need to set the Duplex mode through

 

the Dip switch at the rear of the device. To set a port in full-

 

duplex mode, slide the corresponding switch up. To set it in half-

 

duplex mode, slide the corresponding switch down.

 

To make full duplex mode work properly, make sure both ends of

 

the link are configured to full duplex mode.

 

 

FCtrl

Displays Flow Control status of the selected port. This can be

 

On or Off.

 

 

Spd U

Displays User Set Port Speed. This can be 10 or 100Mbps.

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.
