Setup for the DES-1252 Fast
Ethernet Smart Switch
Before physically installing the switch, please make note of the following
recommendations:
A. Install the DES-1252 in a fairly cool and dry place. Technical
Specifications such as operating temperatures and, other important
information can be found in the manual located on the supplied CD.
B. Install the DES-1252 in a site free from strong electromagnetic field
generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to
sunlight.
C. Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear
of the switch for ventilation.
D. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter.
E. Install the DES-1252 on a sturdy, level surface that can support its
weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack.
F. When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet
to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the switch
and protect the switch case from scratching.
Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom

Rack Mounting
The DES-1252 can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack,
which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the
mounting brackets to both sides of the Switch (one at each side), and
secure them with the provided screws.
Use the screws provided. Then use screws provided
with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack.
Mount the Switch in the rack
Connecting Network Cables
The DES-1252 has 48 ports that support 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet;
it also has 4 10/100/1000Base-T Ports and 2 Combo SFPs. It runs
full/half duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer
mode for 1000Mbps. Each port on the DES-1252 supports Auto-
MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X is a feature that enables the switch to
auto sense what kind of cable is used on a port (straight or crossover).
This allows any type of cables to be used with the switch regardless
of what device is being connected.
AC Power
The Switch utilizes an AC power supply of 100~240V AC, 50~60Hz. The
power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power
connector and the system fan. 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.

Configuring the Switch
The DES-1252 has a Web GUI interface for smart switch configuration.
The Switch can be configured through the Web Browser. A network
administrator can manage, control and monitor the switch from the local
LAN. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its
smart functions.
Note: Use Internet Explorer 5.5 or above to properly access and view the
configuration..
Login
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the
PC must have an IP address in the same range as the switch. For
example, if the switch has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, the PC should
have an IP address of 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and
254), and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Open your web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 (the factory-default
IP address) in the address box. Then press <Enter>.
The web configuration can also be accessed through the SmartConsole
Utility. Open the SmartConsole Utility and double-click the switch as it
appears in the Monitor List. This will automatically load the web
configuration in your web browser.
When the following logon box appears, enter "admin" for the password.
Press Ok to enter the main configuration window. (Figure 3.)
