1.2.2 Features and Benefits
DG-GS4928SE/DG-GS4928HPSE2 provides 20 fixed 1000Mb copper ports, 4
1000Mb COMBO ports (1000Mb fiber SFP ports/1000Mb copper ports) and4 10Gb optical
ports. DG-GS4952SE/DG-GS4952HPSE provides 48 fixed 1000Mb copper ports, 4 10Gb
optical ports.
10Gb Ethernet which adopts full-duplex technology instead of low-speed, half-duplex
CSMA/CD protocol, is a big leap in the evolution of Ethernet. 10Gb Ethernet can be
deployed in star or ring topologies. DG-GS4900SE series switches provide broad
bandwidth and powerful processing capacity. It is suitable for metropolitan networks and
wide area networks. Using DG-GS4900SE series switches, users can simplify network
structures and reduce cost of network construction.
DG-GS4900SE series switches support 802.1d/w/s, 802.1Q, 802.1p, 802.3ad, 802.3x,
GVRP, DHCP and SNTP etc. The switches also support the multicast protocols such as
IGMP, DVMRP and PIM. Moreover, DG-GS4900SE series switches support RIPv1/2,
OSPF, BGP and IPv6 protocols. All these protocols supported enable DG-GS4900SE
series switches to meet the requirements of complex network constructions.
DG-GS4900SE series switches support comprehensively ACL policies. The traffic
can be classified by source/destination IP addresses, source/destination MAC addresses,
IP protocols, TCP/UDP, IP precedence, time ranges and ToS. And various policies can be
conducted to forward the traffic. By implementing ACL policies, users can filter the virus
packets such as “Worm.Blaster”, “Worm.Sasser” and “Red Code” etc. DG-GS4900SE
series switch also support IEEE802.1x port based access authentication, which can be
deployed with RADIUS, to ensure the port level security and block illegal users.
DG-GS4900SE series switches fully support DiffServ Module. Users can specify a

queue bandwidth on each port. WRR/SP/SWRR scheduling is also supported.
DG-GS4900SE series support the port trust. Users can configure trusted CoS, DSCP, IP
precedence and port priority. User can also modify packet’s DSCP and COS values. The
traffic can be classified by port, VLAN, DSCP, IP precedence and ACL table. User can also
modify packet’s DSCP and IP precedence values. Users can specify different bandwidths
for voice/data/video to customize different qualities of service.
DG-GS4900SE series are up to the mustard of Self-defending security region
management strategy. It is supported interaction with some security system such as
firewall,IDS,etc. It can defense the virus and aggress effectively from the extranet and
internet. Thus enhance the security and stability of the network-wide.
DG-GS4900SE series support SNMP,In-band and Out-of band Management,CLI
and WEB interface and RMON. It can mail the correlative sensitive information to the
administrator abide by SMTP protocol. DG-GS4900SE series support SSH protocol,
ensure the configuration management security of the switch.
DG-GS4900SE series support two AC power which have the backup function if one
of them is fault. The power is hot swappable that improves the expansibility and flexibility
of the power system.
DG-GS4900SE series have the network 1000Mb management port. It can upgrade
the device through the common business electrical port or the network management port.
It can also login the network management web page through the common business
electrical port or the network management port.

2.1.1 Environmental Requirements
The switch must be installed in a clean area. Otherwise, the switch may be damaged
Maintain the temperature within 0 to 50 °C and the humidity within 10% to 95%,
The switch must be put in a dry and cool place. Leave sufficient spacing around the
The switch must work in the right range of power input (AC power: 90 ~ 264V (50Hz),
The RPS input of the switch must be in the range of +11.5 ~ +13VDC.
The switch must be well grounded in order to avoid ESD damage and physical injury
The switch should avoid the sunlight perpendicular incidence. Keep the switch away
The switch must be mounted to a standard 19’’ rack or placed on a clean level

desktop.
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of DG-GS4900SE series. Dust can lead to
electrostatic adherence, especially likely under low relative humidity, causing poor contact
of metal connectors or contacts. Electrostatic adherence will result in not only reduced
product lifespan, but also increased chance of communication failures. The recommended
value for dust content and particle diameter in the site is shown below:
13

DG-GS4900SE Series Installation Guide
Max Density
(particles/m³)
2.1.1.2 Temperature and Humidity
Table 2- 1 Environmental Requirements: Dust
In addition, salt, acid and sulfide in the air are also harmful to the switch. Such
harmful gases will aggravate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. The site should
avoid harmful gases, such as SO2, H2S, NO2, NH3and Cl2, etc. The table below details the
threshold value.
Table 2- 2 Environmental Requirements: Particles
Although the switch is designed to use 4 fans, the site should still maintain a desirable
temperature and humidity. High-humidity conditions can cause electrical resistance
degradation or even electric leakage, degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion
of internal components. Extreme low relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to
contract, making the fastening screw insecure. Furthermore, in dry environments, static
electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to internal circuits. Temperature
extremes can cause reduced reliability and premature aging of insulation materials, thus
reducing the switch’s working lifespan. In the hot summer, it is recommended to use
air-conditioners to cool down the site. And the cold winter, it is recommenced to use
heaters.

2.1.1.4 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Ensure proper earth grounding of the device;
The recommended temperature and humidity are shown below:
Table 2- 3 Environmental Requirements: Temperature and Humidity
Caution!
A sample of ambient temperature and humidity should be taken at 1.5m above the
floor and 0.4m in front of the switch rack, with no protective panel covering the front and
rear of the rack. Short term working conditions refer to a maximum of 48 hours of
continued operation and an annual cumulative total of less than 15 days. Formidable
operation conditions refers to the ambient temperature and relative humidity value that
may occur during an air-conditioning system failure, and normal operation conditions
should be recovered within 5 hours.
Before powering on the power supply, please check the power input to ensure proper
grounding of the power supply system. The input source for the switch should be reliable
and secure; a voltage adaptor can be used if necessary. The building’s circuit protection
system should include in the circuit a fuse or circuit-breaker of no greater than 240 V, 10 A.
It is recommended to use a UPS for more reliable power supplying. .
Caution!

that the link has been established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be
examined.
Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure the right port used. Connecting to wrong
ports might damage the switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Remove the protective plug from the SFP/SFP+ fiber transceiver bore; Remove
the protective cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
Step 2: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the SFP/SFP+ transceiver, and attach the
other end to the transceiver of the corresponding devices. Note: The SFP/SFP+
transceiver’s TX port should be connected to the RX port of the corresponding device, and
vice versa.
Step 3: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has been
established; otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.
Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the other ports. Connecting to wrong
ports might damage the transceiver or the other ports. When connecting other devices
through a fiber cable to the switch, the output power of the fiber cable must not exceed the
maximum received power of the corresponding modules. Otherwise, it will damage the
fiber transceiver. Do not stare at the fiber bore when the switch is in operation. That may
hurt your eyes.
DG-GS4900SE series switches use 220V AC power supply by default. Please read
