Rack Mounting
Setup DES-1526 Web Smart Switch
Combine the Switch with the provided screws.
The Switch 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 at the
Switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
A. Install DES-1526 in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications
for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
B. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators
(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight
C. Leave at least 10cm (4 in.) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for
ventilation.
D. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in
an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see
the next section, titled Rack Mounting.
E. 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.

Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.
Mount the Switch in the rack.
Connect The DES-1526 Web Smart
Switch To Your Network
Connecting Network Cables
The Switch supports 24 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet PoE enabled ports and
2 1000BASE-T/mini-GBIC combo ports. These 24 PoE ports will be automatically
activated when a compatible terminal is identified. The Switch will supply power through
the PoE port to the connected PD.
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 Ethernet compatible devices on their network.
The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and it runs both in
half- and full- duplex mode using two pairs of Category 5 cables.
The Switch also supports 2 1000BASE-T/mini-GBIC combo Gigabit Ethernet ports. When
using the RJ-45 ports, it runs in Auto-negotiation mode with 10/100Mbps that runs in
both half- and full-duplex mode and 1000Mbps that runs in full-duplex mode using four
pair Category 5. When using the mini-GBIC ports, it runs in optional 1000BASE-SX/LX
fiber connectivity with mini-GBIC transceiver module. The Combo Gigabit Ethernet
port will run only one of the mini-GBIC ports or RJ-45 ports The mini-GBIC port priority
is higher than the RJ-45 port, therefore if both the mini-GBIC port and RJ-45 port are
connected, then only the mini-GBIC will activate.
These RJ-45 ports are Auto-MDI type ports. The Switch can auto transform to MDI-II or
MDI-X type, so you can just make an easy connection without worrying if you are using
a standard or crossover RJ-45 cable.

AC Power
The Switch uses the AC power supply 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. 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 andmay be
turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
LED Indicators
The front panel LEDs provide instant status feedback, and helps monitor and
troubleshoot when needed.

Configuring the Switch
The DES-1526 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.
Use Internet Explorer 5.0 or above Web browser.
Login
Before you configure this device, note that when the Web Smart Switch is configured
through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same the IP
network. For example, when the default IP address of the Web Smart Switch is 192.168.0.1,
then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and
254), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Open the Web browser program and Enter IP address http://192.168.0.1
(the factory-default IP address setting) to the address location.(Figure 2.)
Or through the Web Management Utility, you do not need to remember the IP Address,
select the device shown in the Monitor List of the Web Management Utility to settle the
device on the Web browser.
When the following dialog page appears, enter the default password “admin” and press
Login to enter the main configuration window.(Figure 3.)
