D-Link DSS-24+ User manual

The D-Link DSS-24+ is a high performance unmanaged
Layer 2 Switch that provides users with 24 10/100Mbps
Fast Ethernet ports and optional fiber uplinks for distant
connections. The DSS-24+ is designed to increase cable
connectivity to distant servers or backbones, targeted for
both small offices and small business environments.
High Performance Wire-speed Architecture
The DSS-24+ delivers superior performance and outstanding
value. With a switching capacity of up to 5.2Gbps and
full-duplex wire-speed forwarding, the DSS-24+ is an ideal
solution for the most demanding environment. It can be
used as a cost-effective wiring closet solution or a high
performance backbone aggregation device.
Easy to Install and Maintain
The auto features of this switch make installation plug
& play and hassle-free. No configuration is required.
Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the
need for crossover cables for connection to another
switch or hub. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the
link speed of a network device (either 10 or 100Mbps)
and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal
performance. It also features diagnostic LEDs which
display status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect
and correct problems on the network. The DSS-24+ has no
fans and is suitable for an office environment.
Optional Fiber Uplinks to Protect Investment
The DSS-24+ has an optional slot that supports a 2-port
100BASE-FX MMF module that can connect to distant
backbones up to two kilometers away.
