the free flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top, and bottom of the Switchs case.
Keep your hands away from top and bottom of the device that generates a significant amount of heat.
Rack-Mountable General Precautions

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack installation documentation
accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, component refers to any system as well as to
various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could
cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.
Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the
rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component
could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and
that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack;
the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the
component into the rack.

Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not
exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a
suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or
an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not
attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected. Completed
power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector. An energy
hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted or disconnected.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can
do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from
the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before
unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads,
and an antistatic grounding strap.

Introduction
Switch Description
The 16-port DGS-1016D and 24-port DGS-1024D switches provide dedicated 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps Ethernet
bandwidth on each port. The ports will automatically detect the speed, duplex and MDI/MDI-X status of the device it
is connecting to, and adjust these settings accordingly. The switch ports can be used to network computers, printers,
servers, routers, other switches or any device equipped with an Ethernet port. For best performance, use Category 5
or better Ethernet cabling.
This stand-alone switch is very easy to set up, there is no network management required. Just power on the switch
and connect the cables. Keep in mind however that the standard rules of Ethernet regarding cable length apply to this
and all Ethernet devices. The length of an Ethernet cable from one device to another cannot exceed 100 meters (or
300 feet).
D-Link Green Technology

D-Link Green Ethernet Technology implements special power-saving features under speed at 1000Mbps that detect
cable length and link status and adjust power usage accordingly.
D-Link Green Technology saves energy in two specific ways:
1. If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned off) the port(s)
will enter a sleep mode which will drastically reduce the amount of power used.
2. D-Link Green Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage
accordingly without affecting performance. This way, a port connected to a 10m cable only uses as
much power as it needs, instead of using full power, which is only needed for 100m cables.

Fast Ethernet Technology

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the
need for high performance networks. 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) provides a cost-effective and high-performance
solution for small workgroups, SMBs (Small to Medium Businesses), and any network supporting bandwidth-intensive
applications. Fast Ethernet technology operates at 10 times the speed of traditional Ethernet, offering maximum
performance and enhanced capability for existing Ethernet-based networks.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps
Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet
protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a
straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of the existing investment in hardware, software, and personnel training.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for
CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical
throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible
with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without
wasting a companys existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet are essential to coping with the network
bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users use applications that
generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly
improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your subnetworks.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar
data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted
with Gigabit Ethernet NICs are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. In
addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage
of today and tomorrows rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies.
D-Link DGS-1016D/104D User Manual 1
Switching Technology
Switches provide full-line speed and dedicated bandwidth for all connections. This is in contrast to hubs, which use
the traditional shared networking topology, where the connected nodes contend for the same network bandwidth.
When two switching nodes are communicating, they are connected with a dedicated channel between them, so there
is no contention for network bandwidth with other nodes. As a result, the switch reduces considerably, the likelihood
of traffic congestion.
For Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating the problem of chaining hubs beyond the two-
repeater limit. A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to
expand your Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches
supporting both 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps
networks and newer 100Mbps networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network hubs and bridges, which
were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of
a router, the setup and maintenance required, make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution
to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

802.1P and QoS

The DGS-1024D and DGS-1016D switches support 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service. The implementation of
QoS (Quality of Service) and benefits of using 802.1p priority queuing are described here.
Advantages of QoS
QoS is an implementation of the IEEE 802.1p standard that allows network administrators a method of reserving
bandwidth for important functions that require a large bandwidth or have a high priority, such as VoIP (voice-over
Internet Protocol), web browsing applications, file server applications or video conferencing. Not only can a larger
bandwidth be created, but other less critical traffic can be limited, so bandwidth can be saved. The switch has separate
hardware queues on every physical port to which packets from various applications are mapped to and assigned a
priority. The illustration below shows how 802.1P priority queuing is implemented on the switch. The eight IEEE 802.1P
priority levels defined by the standard are mapped to the four class queues used in the switch.
Mapping QoS on the Switch

The picture above shows the default priority setting for the switch. Class-3 has the highest priority of the four priority
queues on the Switch. In order to implement QoS, the user is required to instruct the Switch to examine the header of
a packet to see if it has the proper identifying tag tagged.
Then the user may forward these tagged packets to designated queues on the Switch where they will be emptied,
based on priority. The DUT support strict mode for 802.1p QoS. The untagged pkt will follow the priority 0 to work
(i.e. class 1).

Understanding QoS
The Switch has four priority queues. These priority queues are labeled as 3, the high queue to 0, the lowest queue.
The eight priority tags, specified in IEEE 802.1p are mapped to the switchs priority tags as follows:
Priority 0 is assigned to the Switchs Q1 queue.

The switch uses strict priority for Scheduling. Strict priority-based scheduling, any packets residing in the higher priority
queues are transmitted first.
Jumbo Frame Support

The DGS-1016D/1024D switch supports Jumbo Frames up to (9K) in size. Jumbo Frame support is designed to
improve network throughput and significantly reduce the CPU utilization of large file transfers such as multimedia files
or large data files by enabling more efficient larger payloads per packet.

Hardware Overview
DGS-1016D shown here.
The LED indicators of the switch include Power, 100/1000Mbps, and Link/Act. The following shows the LED indicators
for the switch along with an explanation of each indicator.
LED Indicators:
Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the switch and status of the network. A description of these
LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators). The LED indicators of the switch include Power, Link/Act, 1000Mbps,
and 100Mbps.
Power Indicator
This green indicator illuminates when the switch is receiving power.
Link/Act
This green indicator illuminates steadily when a port is connected to a station successfully and has a good link. The
indicator will blink to indicate that a port is transmitting or receiving data on the network.
Speed 1000Mbps/Green; 100Mbps/Amber; 10Mbps/Off

This indicator is amber-colored when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. It is green when the
port is connected to a 1000Mbps Ethernet station. It is not illuminated when the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet
station.
Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports:

Gigabit Ethernet Auto-Negotiating ports (10/100/1000Mbps) Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of
the switch and status of the network.
AC Power Jack:
The power cable connection is located on the rear panel of the switch.
Switch power input is provided by and internal universal power supply (100-240VAC : 50-60Hz, 0.4A Max: 12V/3.3A).
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Please see the Power
On section below for instructions on how to properly connect the switch to a power source.
Cable Diagnostics
Upon booting up the switch, a Cable Diagnostic is used to detect three problems that may prevent successful
connection. This feature operates only on ports that are connected to 1000Mbps devices. If there are any connection
problems with the Gigabit Ethernet device, restart the Switch. During the restarting process, please pay attention to
the speed LED indicators on 100/1000Mbps. This can help determine the causes for connection difficulties. For ports
operating at 10 or 100Mbps, the LED indicators can be used for less specific troubleshooting.
The faults detected by the cable diagnostic for 1000Mbps operation are as follows:

Open circuit - a lack of continuity between the pins at each end of the Ethernet cable or a disconnected cable.
Short circuit - two or more conductors short-circuited.
Connectivity is checked for each of the eight wires of a cable to ensure its capability for running 1000Mbps.
During the diagnostic, each port is scanned to determine if the Ethernet cable and connectors is in good working order.
During the diagnostic process the speed LED for each port blinks green in sequential order. This port scan takes about
3 seconds. If a cable fault is detected, the corresponding ports speed LED will light amber for 5 seconds. The Switch
is then reset for normal operation. It takes about 2 seconds for the switch to reset. The entire Cable Diagnostic process
takes about 10 seconds from the time the Switch is powered on.
The table on the next page summarizes Cable Diagnostic information.
NOTE: the cable diagnostic function does not detect the length of Ethernet cabling. Remember that the length of
cabling between two Ethernet devices may not exceed 100 meters (or 300 feet).

LED Indicator Description
Power This lights green while the Switch is receiving power.
A steady green light indicates the corresponding port is

Link/Act connected and a valid link is established. This will blink
green when there is activity on the port.
The speed indicator will light green if the corresponding

port is connected and operating at 1000Mbps. An amber
light indicates the port is operating at 100Mbps. If the port
100Mbps/1000Mbps
is connected (as indicated by the Link/Act indicator) and
the speed indicator does not light, the port is operating at
10Mbps.
Cable Diagnostic Open or short circuit problems, 100/1000Mbps LED blinks

(during boot up only) amber for 5 seconds

Installation
This section will explain how to connect Ethernet devices to your new D-Link switch and how to mount the switch.
Before You Connect to the Network

The site where you install the switch may greatly affect its performance. Please follow these guidelines for setting up
the switch.

Section - Installation
Install the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) of weight. Do not place heavy
objects on the switch.
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the switch.
Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power port.
Make sure that there is adequate space for proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the switch for ventilation.
Install the switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust,
and direct exposure to sunlight.
When installing the switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the device. The rubber
feet cushion the switch, protect the casing from scratches, and prevent it from scratching other surfaces.
Mounting the switch on a Rack

The DGS-1016D/1024D can easily be mounted on a rack. Two mounting ears are provided for this purpose. Make
sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the following illustrations:

1. Attach the ears to each side of the switch, using the screw-holes located on the side of the device.
2. Firmly attach the ears to the rack as shown. Please follow the usual safety precautions for rack-mountable
products.
Attaching the Rubber Feet

Use rubber feet provided. Position and apply rubber feet to the underside of the DGS-1016D/1024D switch.

Provide for Adequate Ventilation
CAUTION: Do not place any device on top of switch, or place the switch on top of any device or object that will block
the free flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top, and bottom of the switchs case. In addition, care
should be taken not to locate the switch next to, on top of, or underneath any device that generates a significant
amount of heat.
For the switch to perform at its optimal level, the switch must have adequate ventilation to prevent the switch from
overheating and becoming damaged.

Power On
To power on the switch, Plug-in the female connector of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side
of the cord into a suitable power source.
After the Switch is powered on, the LED indicators will blink briefly while the system resets.
Power Failure
As a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the switch. When power is resumed, plug the switch back in.
Cable Quality
NOTE: All Ethernet ports auto-detect MDI-II/MDI-X, port speed (10, 100, 1000Mbps) and duplex of the device
connected to the switch.
For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable.
For connections to 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable.
All 1000BASE-T connections operate in full duplex mode.
NOTE: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cabling is adequate for most small office environments. More
expensive STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) can also be used, but is generally only needed where there will be risk of
strong Electromagnetic of Radio Frequency Interference.

Connecting the Switch

DGS-1016D/1024D to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most
routers. An end node can be connected to the switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The
end node can be connected to any of the ports of the switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. The LED over the port label indicates a port
speed of either 10/100 Mbps or 1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the bottom indicates packet activity on that port.
Hub/switch to DGS-1016D/1024D
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP
cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the switch via a twisted-pair Category 5/5e UTP/STP cable.
A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the switch via a twisted -pair Category 5/5e or better UTP/ STP
cable.
Connecting To Network Backbone or Server

Any of the Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.


Section 4 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting
1. Why cant I share my Internet connection to multiple computers when using my D-Link DGS-
1016D/1024D switch?
If you are connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem, you will need a router to share your Internet
connection or a computer using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) or Proxy. Switches and hubs do not
allow you to share a single IP address to multiple computers.
Another alternative is to contact your ISP and purchase extra IP addresses for each additional computer.
2. Does the DGS-1016D/1024D switch have an uplink port?
The DGS-1016D/1024D has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense the type of cable being used (e.g.
straight-through or Crossover) and adjust themselves accordingly to pass data over the network.
3. What is the maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between the DGS-
1016D/1024D and other devices such as routers, switches, computers, etc.?
The maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between computers and other
devices on a network is 100 meters or about 328 feet. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical limit.
Usually, you will want to keep the distance between devices well below the limit.

Networking Basics
Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link adapter or if you already have an Ethernet adapter installed on your computer, by
default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. router) automatically. To
verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Windows XP/2000 Users
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your
adapter.
Windows Vista Users
Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. You may
need administrative access to run this application.
For all additional prompt windows inquiring of running the command prompt
application, select Yes, OK, or Continue.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software
programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the
steps below:
Windows XP/2000 Users

Windows XP - Click on Start > Control Panel. Make sure you are in Classic View. Double-click on the Network Connections
icon.
Windows 2000 From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter (or other adapter) which will be
connected to your router.
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet
as your network or LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If the routers LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X
where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in
use on the network.
Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.
The Secondary DNS is optional (you may enter a DNS server from your ISP).
Click OK to save your settings.

Windows Vista Users

Click on Start > Control Panel. Make sure you are in Classic View. Double-click on the Network and Sharing Center icon. Along the
left panel in the window, click on Manage network connections.
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter (or other adapter) which will be connected
to your network.
Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4) and click Properties.
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the
same subnet as your network or LAN IP address on your router or network.
Example: If the routers LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP

address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure
that the number you choose is not in use on the network.
Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or
gateway.
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.
