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-1024D 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-1024D 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-1024D switch.
Rack Installation
To install in a rack, attach the mounting brackets to the 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.
Insert tie wrap
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.
Wrap the retainer around the power cord
E. Fasten the retainer by pulling on it until secure.
Connect the power cord to the switch
F. Connect the AC power cord to an electrical outlet.
Connecting the DGS-1024D 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.

| EEE | Enables/Disable IEEE 802. az Energy-Efficient Ethernet Feature | On |
| Flow Control |
Enables/Disable Flow Control Feature | On |
| Port Isolation and Storm Control |
Port Isolation: See Below Storm Control: When enabled, a broadcast storm control threshold value of 128 kbps will be applied to incoming broadcast packets on all ports. |
Off |
Port Isolation:
When enabled, ports 1 to 23 will be isolated from each other, but will still be able to communicate with port 24. Port 24 will be able to communicate with all the ports available on this switch.
