Before Connecting to the Network

As with any electronic device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:
A. Install the DGS-1016D in a fairly cool and dry place. See the Technical Specifications page in the manual for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges.
B. Install the switch in a site free from vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
C. Leave at least 10cm of space on the left and right-hand sides of the switch for ventilation.
D. Visually inspect the power cable and ensure that it is firmly inserted into a suitable power outlet.

Switch Installation

The DGS-1016D can easily be mounted in an EIA standard-size 19-inch rack which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment or placed on a desktop or shelf.

Desktop or Shelf Installation

When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, use the rubber feet provided. Position and apply the rubber feet to the bottom corners of the DGS-1016D switch.

Rack Installation

To install in a rack, attach the mounting brackets tothe switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided. Then, use the hardware provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.

Installing a Power Cord Retainer

Installation of a power cord retainer is recommended to prevent accidental removal of the AC power cord.
A. Insert a tie wrap with the rough side facing down into the hole below the power socket.

B. Connect the AC power cord into the AC power inlet of the switch.

C. Attach the retainer to the tie wrap and slide it up to the end of the cord.

D. Wrap the retainer around the power cord and place the free end into the fastener.

E. Fasten the retainer by pulling on it until secure.

F. Connect the AC power cord to an electrical outlet.

Connecting the DGS-1016D to your network

A. Power
The switch can be used with AC power sources 100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
B. Ethernet
These ports support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps, and can operate in half-duplex and full-duplex transfer modes. These ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection, which gives the switch true “plug and play” capabilities. Just connect any network cable between the switch and the device, and the switch will automatically detect the settings of the device and adjust itself accordingly.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators allow you to monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot potential problems with the switch, connection, or attached devices.
