2. Product Introduction

Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link DGS-1100 Series Switch Products.

D-Link's next generation DGS-1100 Series switches blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional

value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed

in a new style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs.

The brand-new DGS-1100 series are born to be green by design of IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient

Ethernet compliant (abbreviated as EEE) and D-Link Green Technologies. It allows significant power

saving during periods of low data activity. In most of use cases and environments, switches are idle

in 90% or more of time. While no traffic in a short period of time, ports on DGS-1100 switch get into

power saving mode automatically. Once if a packet is received, the switch wakes and works

immediately. Connecting to EEE compliant devices, such as PCs and servers, the network can save

energy without compromising any performance. While connecting to legacy devices which do not

support IEEE 802.3az, D-Link Green Technologies can reduce power consumption by changing the

power state of the link.
