Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your new D-Link DGS-1016D/DGS-1024D Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
D-Link's next generation DGS-1016D and DGS-1024D switches blend plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional value and
reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a rack-mountable metal case with
easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs. This standalone switch is very easy to set up. No network management is required;
simply power on the switch and connect the cables.
The 16-port DGS-1016D and 24-port DGS-1024D switches provide dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth on each
port. The ports will automatically detect the speed, duplex, and MDI/MDIX status of the device it is connecting to and adjust
these settings accordingly. The switch ports can be used to network computers, printers, servers, routers, other switches, or any
device equipped with an Ethernet port. For best performance, use Category 5 or better Ethernet cabling. However, please keep
in mind that standard Ethernet rules state cable lengths cannot exceed 100 meters (or 300 feet) from one device to another.
For more detailed information about the media converter, making network connections, and technical specications, please

Section 1 - Product Overview
D-Link Green Technology
The brand-new DGS-1016D and DGS-1024D switches are green by design with IEEE 802.3az Energy Ecient Ethernet compliant
(abbreviated as EEE) and D-Link Green Technologies. This allows signicant power saving during periods of low data activity.
In most environments, switches are idle 90% or more of the time. If there has been no network trac over a short period of
time, ports on DGS-1016D/DGS-1024D switch will change to power saving mode automatically. Upon receiving a packet, the
switch wakes up the eected port or ports, returning to normal functionality immediately. By using EEE compliant devices,
such as PCs and servers, the network can save energy without compromising any performance. Even when 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.
Power Saving Technology
This switch supports power saving by link status. If there is no link on a port, such as when there is no computer connected to
the port or the connected computer is powered o, D-Link’s Green Technology will enter a "sleep mode", drastically reducing
power used for that port.
