INTRODUCTION
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of
desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance
networks. 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a cost-effective and high-
performance solution for small workgroups, SMBs (Small to Medium
Businesses), and any network supporting bandwidth-intensive applications.
Fast Ethernet technology operates at 10 times the speed of traditional
Ethernet, offering maximum performance and enhanced capability for
existing Ethernet-based networks.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN
committee. 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.
Switching Technology
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity
available to users on a LAN. If an Ethernet network begins to display
symptoms of congestion, low throughput, slow response times, and high
rates of collision, installing a switch to a network can preserve much or all
of the existing network's cabling and workstation interface card
infrastructure, while still greatly enhancing the throughput for users. A
switch is a viable solution even if demanding applications, such as
multimedia production and video conferencing, are on the horizon. The
most promising techniques, as well as the best return on investment, could
well consist of installing the right mixture of Ethernet switches.
A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a
local area network into different LAN segments. Dividing a LAN into

multiple segments is one of the most common ways of increasing available
bandwidth. If segmented correctly, most network traffic will remain within
a single segment, enjoying the full-line speed bandwidth of that segment.
Switches provide full-line speed and dedicated bandwidth for all
connections. This is in contrast to hubs, which use the traditional shared
networking topology, where the connected nodes contend for the same
network bandwidth. When two switching nodes are communicating, they
are connected with a dedicated channel between them, so there is no
contention for network bandwidth with other nodes. As a result, the switch
reduces considerably, the likelihood of traffic congestion.
For Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating the
problem of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can
be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains,
making it possible to expand your Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter
network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting
both 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for
bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and newer 100Mbps
networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous
generation of network hubs and bridges, which were characterized by
higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area
networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required,
make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution
to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

Features
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ is a high performance switch designed
specifically for environments where traffic on the network and the number
of users increase continuously.
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+, with its small, compact size, was specifically
designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+
can be installed where space is limited; moreover, it provides immediate
access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable
functions.
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ is ideal for deployment with multiple high-
speed servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups.
With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any
port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server.
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ is scalable, allowing two or more DES-1005D/
DSS-5+s to be cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any
one of its five ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open
a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ is the perfect choice for a department or office
planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ can
accommodate 10Mbps or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution
for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups.
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ combines dynamic memory allocation with
store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively
allocated for each port; and it controls the data flow between the transmit
and receive nodes to guarantee against possible packet loss.
The DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
switch that offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of small
Ethernet workgroups.
Other key features include:
Store-and-forward switching scheme capability. As the result of
complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme
prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.

Auto-MDI/MDI-X function supports automatic MDI/MDI-X
crossover detection, giving true ‘plug and play’ capability—Crossover
or Straight-Through CAT5 cables can be plugged into any port.
Nway Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of
speed (10/100Mbps), providing an automatic and flexible solution for
the network.
Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending
out collision signals when the port’s receiving buffer is full.
Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at
wire-speed for 100Mbps operation and 10Mbps operation.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
Unpacking
Open the box and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the
following items:
One DES-1005D or DSS-5+: 5-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch
One External Power Adapter
Four Rubber Feet
This Manual
Quick Installation Guide
If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for a
replacement.
Setup
The setup of the DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ can be performed using the
following steps:
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch.
Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter.
Do not cover the ventilation holes on the sides of the Switch, and
make sure there is adequate ventilation around it.
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

LED Indicators
Power Indicator (PWR):
This green indicator light is on when the DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ is
receiving power; otherwise, it is off.
100Mbps Link/Activity, 10Mbps Link/Activity Indicator
(100 Link/Act (green), 10 Link/Act (amber):
This LED indicator light is green when the port is connected to a
100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. The green indicator blinks as Fast
Ethernet data is transmitted or received. The indicator light is amber
when the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet station, or other
network device. The amber indicator blinks as Ethernet data is
transmitted or received.

Rear Panel
Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports:
All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The Auto
MDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch—just plug
either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port.
DC Power Jack:
Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the
technical specification section for information about the DC power input
voltage.
Since the DES-1005D/ DSS-5+ does not require a power button, plugging
its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on.
