All models are housed in a new style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advance features including four 1000BASE-X SFP slots for fiber connection, network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management.

Flexible Port Configurations. Four port densities are available for selection: 16, 24, and 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Supporting auto-detection of MDI/MDIX, these switches bring inexpensive and easy Ethernet connection to the desktops. DGS-1500 series provides 4 SFP slots, which supports 1000M fiber connections with appropriate fiber transceivers. DGS-1500-28P provides 4 combo SFP slots, which supports both 1000M and 100M fiber connections with appropriate fiber transceivers. The first 24 ports also support up to 15.4 or 30 watts PoE power for the connections of wireless access points, IP phones and other PoE-supported devices, allowing them to be deployed at difficult places such as on high walls and ceilings, where AC power outlets are not readily available.

D-Link Green Technology. D-Link Green devices are about providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy consumption on DGS-1500 series such as reducing power when a port does not have a device attached, or adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it. For PoE model such as DGS- 1500-28P, D-Link Green Technology offers Time-based PoE feature to shut down per port power off working hours.

Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP, SNTP, LLDP and Loopback Detection to enhance performance and network resiliency.

Extensive Layer 3 Features. Implemented as complete L3 devices, these switches include functions such as IP interface, static route, IPv6 Static Route, ARP and single IP management to enhance performance and network resiliency.

QoS. The switches supports bandwidth control and 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run bandwidthsensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that traffic in network. These functions allow switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic and IPv6 traffic class priority in the network.

Network Security. D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port Security is another simple but useful authentication method to maintain the network device integrity. Also supports DHCP Server Screening, SSL, SSH and Smart Binding features.

Versatile Management. The new generation of D-Link Web Smart Switches provides growing businesses with a simple and easy management of their network, using an intuitive SmartConsole utility or a Web-Based management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link web smart switches with the same L2 network segment connected to the user’s local PC. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of the PC and provide easy initial settings of the smart switches. The switches within the same L2 network segment connected to the user’s local PC are displayed on the screen for instant access. It allows extensive switch configuration settings, and basic configuration of discovered devices, such as a password change or firmware upgrade.

Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

2 Hardware Installation

D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual

Figure 2.3 – Mount the Switch in the rack or chassis

Please be aware of following safety Instructions when installing:

A)Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B)Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C)Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D)Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit, and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E)Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."

Step 3 – Plugging in the AC Power Cord

Users may now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one that is grounded and surge protected).

3 Getting Started

D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual

3 Getting Started

This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link SmartPro Switch.

Management Options

The D-Link SmartPro Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based Management, or through any PC using the SmartConsole Utility or CLI commands.

Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.

However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link SmartPro Switches, the SmartConsole Utility and Single IP Management are more convenient choice. By using the SmartConsole Utility, you do not need to change the IP address of your PC and it is easier to initialize multiple Smart Switches.

Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management and the SmartConsole Utility.

Using Web-based Management

After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display statistics using a web browser.

Supported Web Browsers

The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:

Internet Explorer 6 or later version

Netscape 8 or later version

Chrome 5.0 or later version

Firefox 3.0 or later version Opera 10 or later version

Connecting to the Switch

You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:

1.A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection

2.A standard Ethernet cable

Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
