LED Indicator:

Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the Understanding LED Indicators section).

10/100 BASE-TX Twisted Pair Ports (Port 1~24)

The DES-1228P is equipped with 24 Fast Ethernet twisted pair ports that are auto-negotiable 10/100Mbps and also support auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection. All these 24 ports can operate in half- and full- duplex modes, and will be automatically activated when a compatible terminal is identified. The Switch will provide the power needed through the PoE port to the connected PD.

For Legacy devices that are not yet compatible, the PoE port will not offer the power to these devices. This feature allows users to freely and safely mix legacy and Power over Ethernet compatible devices on their network.
