D-Link DES-1316 [14/53] Identifying external components

IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators

of the Switch.

Front Panel

The figure below shows the front panels of the Switch.

Figure 3. Front panel of 8-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch with 8-port PoE.

LED Indicator:

Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch and

the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below).

PoE Ports (Port 1~8):

These ports are PoE Enabled ports. The PoE port will be automatically

activated when a compatible terminal is identified, and the Switch will

supply power through the Ethernet port to the connected PoE device.

For Legacy devices that are not yet compatible, the PoE port will not

offer the power to these devices. This feature allows users to freely

and safely mix legacy and Power over LAN compatible devices on

their network.

These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps,

and can operate in half- and full- duplex transfer modes. These ports

also support the automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function,

providing true “plug and play” capability. Just plug-in the network

cable to the Switch directly regardless if the end node is a NIC

(Network Interface Card) or switch and hub.
