1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link Web Smart Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation Web Smart Ethernet switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional
value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a new
style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advanced features
including network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management.
Flexible Port Configurations. The DGS-1210-28/28P/52 is the new generation of Web Smart series. It
provides a variety of port counts 24 or 48 10/100/1000Mbps ports plus 4 SFP ports. Besides, the series
offers 24 10/100/1000Mbps PoE ports plus 4 SFP ports.
The first 4 ports of DGS-1210-28P also support up to 30 watts PoE power for the connections of PoE +
Power Devices, allowing them to be deployed at difficult places such as on high walls and ceilings, where AC
power outlets are not readily available.
D-Link Green Technology. D-Link Green devices are about providing eco-friendly alternatives without
compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy
consumption on DGS-1210-28/28P/52 such as shutting down a port, or turning off some LED indicators, or
adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP and Loopback Detection to enhance
performance and network resiliency.
Traffic Segmentation, QoS and Auto Surveillance VLAN. The switches support 802.1Q VLAN standard
tagging to enhance network security and performance. The switches also support 802.1p priority queues,
enabling users to run bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that
traffic in network. These functions allow switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic in the
network. Auto Surveillance VLAN will automatically place the vedio traffic from pre-defined IP surveillance
devices to an assigned VLAN with higher priority, so it can be separated from normal data traffic. Asymmetric
VLAN is implemented in these switches for a more efficient use of shared resources, such as server or
gateway devices.
Network Security. D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features like 802.1X port-based authentication provide access
control of the network with external RADIUS servers. ACL is a powerful tool to screen unwanted IP or MAC
traffic. Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port
Security is another simple but useful authentication method to maintain the network device integrity.
Versatile Management. The new generation of D-Link Web Smart Switches provides growing businesses
with a simple and easy management of their network, using an intuitive SmartConsole utility or a Web-Based
management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The
SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link web smart switches with the same L2
network segment connected to the user’s local PC. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP
address of the PC and provide easy initial settings of the smart switches. The switches within the same L2
network segment connected to the user’s local PC are displayed on the screen for instant access. It allows
extensive switch configuration settings, and basic configuration of discovered devices, such as a password
change or firmware upgrade.
Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the
Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the
Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
In addition, users can utilize the SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) to poll the switches for
information about the status, or send out traps of abnormal events. SNMP support allows users to integrate

the switches with other third-party devices for management in an SNMP-enabled environment. D-Link Web
Smart Switches also come with the D-View plug-in module that works with D-View 6 SNMP Management
Software, and provides easy-to-use graphic interface and facilitates the operation efficiency.

Figure 2.3 –Mount the Switch in the rack or chassis
Please be aware of following safety Instructions when installing:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit, and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips)."
Step 3 : Plugging in the AC Power Cord with Power Cord Clip
To prevent accidental removal of the AC power cord, it is recommended to install the power cord clip
together with the power cord.

3 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Web-Smart Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link Web Smart Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based
Management, or through any PC using the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA).
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Web Smart Switches, the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) is
a more convenient choice. By using the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), you do not need to change the IP
address of your PC and it is easier to initialize multiple Smart Switches.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management and the D-Link Network
Assistant (DNA).
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 6 or later version
Netscape 8 or later version
Firefox 3.0 or later version
Chrome 5.0 or later version
Safari 4.0 or later version
Opera 10 or later version
Mozilla the latest version
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1. A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2. A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.

Login Web-based Management
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the
same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have
an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and
a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. There are two ways to launch the Web-based Management, you may either click
the Web Access button at the top of the SmartConsole Utility or open the web browser and enter 10.90.90.90
(the factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.
Figure 3.2 –Enter the IP address 10.90.90.90 in the web browser
