The DES-1210 Series of Web Smart switches are equipped with 8, 24, or 48 10/100 Mbps ports, 2 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and 2 combo 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP ports. The DES-1210 Series integrates advanced management and security functions for enhanced performance and scalability. Support for IPv6 management and configuration ensures your network investment stays protected after upgrading from IPv4. The DES-1210-08P/28P are IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at1 Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant switches and provide 15.4-30 W per port1 . The PoE/PoE+ ports can power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras directly through Ethernet cables making deployment much easier. Management options such as SNMP, Web Management, D-Link Network Assistant Utility, and Compact Command Line also make deployment simple. The DES-1210 Series provides a complete and affordable solution that is ideal for small and medium businesses and the enterprise edge. Seamless Integration The Web Smart Switch is designed to provide SMB users with complete control over their network. With Ethernet and Gigabit copper ports capable of connecting to existing CAT5/5E/6 twisted-pair cables, these switches eliminate the need for expensive network re-building. The DES-1210 Series allows for flexible connections to a network backbone or server. Additionally, all ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Extensive Layer 2 Features Equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, these switches include IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). IEEE 802.3x Flow Control allows servers to directly connect to the switch for reliable data transfer. Network maintenance features include Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port. Cable Diagnostics allow network administrators to quickly examine the quality of the copper cables and also determine the type of cable error.
