Software:

D-Link warrants that the software programs licensed from it will perform in substantial conformance to the applicable published program specifications for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase from D- Link or its Authorized Reseller. D-Link warrants the magnetic media containing software against failure during the warranty period. No updates are provided. D-Link's sole obligation hereunder shall be to replace any defective software products with products which substantially conform to D-Link's applicable published specifications. Customer assumes responsibility for the selection of the appropriate applications program and associated reference materials. D-Link makes no warranty that its software products will work in combination with any hardware or applications software products provided by third party, that the operation of the software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in the software product will be corrected. For any third party products listed in the D-Link software product documentation or specifications as being compatible, D-Link will make reasonable efforts to provide compatibility, except where the non-compatibility is caused by "bug" or defect in the third party's product.

Warranty service for software products may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the warranty period. Where no Product Registration Card has been sent by Customer, proof of purchase, such as a copy of the dated purchased invoice, must be provided.

D-Link Offices to Contact for Warranty Service:

To obtain an RMA number for warranty service, contact the D-Link office nearest you. A list of contact addresses for D-Link’s international offices is found in the back of this User’s Guide. Your Warranty Registration Card should also be sent to your regional D-Link office.

DES-3208 specifications

The D-Link DES-3208 is a robust and reliable Layer 2 Fast Ethernet unmanaged switch designed to enhance networking capabilities in both small and medium-sized businesses. With a compact and efficient design, the DES-3208 offers seamless connectivity for various devices, ensuring speedy data transfers and enhanced network performance.

One of the key features of the DES-3208 is its 8 Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) ports, which allow for easy expansion of network infrastructure. The switch operates on a non-blocking architecture, which means it can handle multiple data streams simultaneously without compromising performance. This is particularly beneficial in environments where high traffic and data-intensive applications are commonplace.

The DES-3208 supports auto-MDI/MDIX functionality, which eliminates the need for crossover cables as the switch automatically detects the cable type connected. This feature simplifies network setup and allows for flexible configurations, enhancing usability for IT managers and system administrators.

Power-saving technologies are also a hallmark of the D-Link DES-3208. It features innovative Green Ethernet technology that reduces power consumption by detecting inactive ports and adjusting power usage accordingly. This not only contributes to environmental initiatives but also provides cost savings on energy bills over time.

Additionally, the switch supports a variety of network protocols to ensure compatibility with different network environments. These features include IEEE 802.3x flow control, which helps prevent packet loss during data transmissions, and IEEE 802.1p prioritization, ensuring critical traffic is processed in a timely manner.

The fanless design of the DES-3208 contributes to silent operation, making it an ideal choice for office environments where minimal noise is preferred. The compact form factor further allows for easy placement either on a desk or in a rack mount.

Overall, the D-Link DES-3208 is a versatile and efficient solution for businesses seeking an unmanaged switch that balances performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use. It adeptly meets the needs of growing networks while providing essential features that promote reliability and connectivity.
