[. . . ] D-Link's sole obligation shall be to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link's functional specifications for the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. The Warranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any replacement Software is delivered. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. [. . . ] Lists the technical specifications of the DES-1009G Gigabit Ethernet Switch. 1 INTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the DES-1009G Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as giving some background information about Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Switching technology. 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 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade supplementing the company's existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel. 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. 3 Switching Technology Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments which don't compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each. The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. 4 Features The DES-1009G Gigabit Ethernet Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. Switch features include: Ports One 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet port (port 9). Eight 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet ports (port 1 ~ 8). One 10/100/Mbps NWay MDI-X Uplink port, share with port 8. Performance features Store and forward switching scheme capability to support rate adaptation and protocol conversion. Full duplex to allow two communicating stations to transmit and receive at the same time. Wire-speed data forwarding rate for each port. Wire-speed data filtering rate for each port. 4K active MAC address entry table per device with automatic learning and aging. Supports broadcast storm rate filtering 5 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 8-Port 10/100 Mbps, 1-Port 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing One AC power cord One User's Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. 6 Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: The surface must support at least 5 kgs. [. . . ] SMTP: When this indicator is blinking green, the SMTP packets (E-Mail) are transmitting or received on the Switch. SPEED: The indicator lights amber when the port is connected to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet station, and the indicator lights green when the port is connected to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. Otherwise, this indicator remains off when the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet station. LINK/ACT: This indicator light is green when this port is connected to a station successful, if this indicator blinking green means this port will be transmitting or received data on the network.
