D-Links DGS-1210 Series is the latest generation of Web Smart Switches featuring D-Link Green Technology. The series integrates advanced management and security functions that provide performance and scalability. Additionally, the DES-1210-10Ps 10/100/1000 Mbps ports are PoE-enabled, offering ease-of-use and green features like timebased PoE, which allows for the power to be shut off at a predetermined time. Compliant with 802.3af and 802.3at Pre-Standard, this switch is capable of feeding power to devices up to 30 Watts. Management options for the switches include SNMP, Web Management, SmartConsole Utility, and Compact Command Lines. The series also supports ACL filtering and D-Links Safeguard Engine. The DGS-1210 Series uses Auto Voice VLAN, ensuring higher priority for voice traffic. The DGS-1210-10P comes with a fanless design in a compact 13 desktop enclosure, the DGS-1210- 16 and DGS-1210-24 feature a fanless design in 19 metal cases. The DGS-1210-48 is equipped with two smart fans which are set to low speed by default and will automatically switch to high speed once the temperature threshold is reached. A fanless design allows for quieter operation and guarantees an extended lifetime, while smart fans help to save power.

 

D-Link is constantly striving to take the lead in developing innovative technology that allows for power-saving without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. The DGS-1210 Series automatically detects the length of connected cables and can adjust power usage by saving energy on shorter cable connections of up to 20 meters. Link status drastically reduces power consumption by automatically toggling ports without a link to sleep mode. The DGS-1210 Series takes the approach to green IT one step further by incorporating a special chipset with advanced silicon technology.

 

The DGS-1210 Series comes with Ethernet and Gigabit copper ports capable of connecting to existing Cat.5 twisted-pair cables. Additionally, the last 2 or 4 ports of the DGS-1210 Series combine SFP and copper connectivity into one port and therefore provide a more flexible solution for upstream or downstream server connections via fiber interface. Using the default presets, the administrator can quickly set up the switch without reconfiguring any settings.

 

Equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, these switches include IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to directly connect to the switch for fast, reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps Full Duplex, the Gigabit ports provide high-speed data pipes to servers with minimum data transfer loss. Network maintenance features include Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shut down the affected port. The Cable Diagnostic feature, designed primarily for adminstrators and customer service representatives, can rapidly discover the type of error and determine the cable quality.
