10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Port 2: 10/100Mbps, N-Way UTP/STP

Port 2 operates at an user-selectable effective speed of 10 or 100Mbps for half-duplex mode and 20 or 200Mbps for full-duplex mode. It is an N-Way port, so it auto-detects and auto-configures according to the operating standard (10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet) of connected devices. Port 2 can operate up to 100 meters of Category 3, 4 or 5 shielded twisted- pair or unshielded twisted-pair (STP/UTP) cable. Please use crossover cabling unless you are connecting to a straight-through uplink port on a switch or hub. Port 2 uses an RJ-45 connector.

DES-802 specifications

The D-Link DES-802 is a versatile and efficient networking switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses. With its user-friendly features and robust design, it provides an ideal solution for enhancing network performance and reliability. The key highlight of the DES-802 is its 8-port configuration, making it suitable for connecting multiple devices such as computers, printers, and servers within a local area network (LAN).

One of the main features of the D-Link DES-802 is its support for auto-negotiation, allowing coherent communication between devices regardless of their speed and duplex configuration. This capability ensures seamless integration and minimizes compatibility issues, enabling businesses to expand their networks without the need for extensive reconfiguration.

Equipped with Ethernet ports, the DES-802 supports data rates of up to 1 Gbps, providing high-speed connections essential for modern applications that demand substantial bandwidth. Additionally, the switch employs link aggregation, allowing for increased throughput and redundancy by combining multiple links into a singular logical connection.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities is another significant characteristic of the D-Link DES-802. This feature enables the switch to deliver power directly to connected devices, such as VoIP phones and wireless access points, through the data cable, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional wiring and outlets.

From a management perspective, the DES-802 features a web-based management interface, providing administrators with a straightforward approach to configure and monitor network settings. It facilitates network control through features such as VLAN support, which enhances security and performance by segmenting networks into distinct virtual LANs.

In terms of reliability, the DES-802 incorporates redundant power supply options, ensuring continuous network operation even in the event of power failure. The switch is built with durability in mind, featuring a metal chassis that withstands varying environmental conditions while maintaining performance.

Overall, the D-Link DES-802 stands out for its blend of advanced features, such as auto-negotiation, high-speed connectivity, PoE capability, and robust management options, making it a reliable choice for businesses looking to optimize their network infrastructure efficiently.
