ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the DES-1228P 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet + 4 10/100/1000Base-T Ports and 2 Combo SFP PoE Web-Smart Switch. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Since Ports 1~24 of this Switch are Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, it will automatically detect the presence of IEEE 802.3af compliant devices and will provide power through these PoE ports. The Switch provides up to 15.4Watts per port and can be connected to WLAN access points, IP phones, video cameras, and other PD devices. The Switch will automatically detect the network appliance's requirements, and the Switch will supply the required power current to each appliance.
