Setup The DGS-1224T Gigabit Smart
Switch
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
A. Install theDGS-1224T in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical
Specificationfortheacceptable operation temperature and humidity
ranges.
B. Installthe DGS-1224T in a site free from strong electromagnetic
field generators(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct
exposure to sunlight.
C. Leave at least 10cm (about4 inches) of space at the front and rear
of the hub for ventilation.
D. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter.
E. Install the DGS-1224T on a sturdy, level surface that can support
itsweight,orin anEIA 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 hub and
protect the hub case from scratching.
Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom
Rack Mounting
The DGS-1224T can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack,
which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipments. Attach the
mountingbrackets tobothsides oftheSwitch (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.

Connecting Network Cable
The DGS-1224T supports 10/100/1000Mbps GigabitEthernet. It runs
full/half duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer
mode for 1000Mbps. Each port on the DGS-1224T supports Auto-
MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X is a feature that eliminates the need for
worrying about using either a standard or crossover cable—you can
useeitherone—and allows any port to be an uplink port.
ACPower
The DGS-1224T can be used with AC power supply 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’spowersupply
will adjust to the local power sourceautomatically and may be turned on
without having any or allLANsegmentcablesconnected.
