1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link SmartPro Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation SmartPro 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 advance features
including four 1000BASE-X SFP slots for fiber connection, network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and
versatile management.
Flexible Port Configurations. Four port densities are available for selection: 16, 24, and 48 Gigabit
Ethernet ports. Supporting auto-detection of MDI/MDIX, these switches bring inexpensive and easy Ethernet
connection to the desktops. DGS-1500 series provides 4 SFP slots, which supports 1000M fiber connections
with appropriate fiber transceivers. DGS-1500-28P provides 4 combo SFP slots, which supports both 1000M
and 100M fiber connections with appropriate fiber transceivers. The first 24 ports also support up to 15.4 or
30 watts PoE power for the connections of wireless access points, IP phones and other PoE-supported
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-1500 series such as reducing power when a port does not have a device attached, or
adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it. For PoE model such as DGS-
1500-28P, D-Link Green Technology offers Time-based PoE feature to shut down per port power off working
hours.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP, SNTP, LLDP and Loopback Detection to
enhance performance and network resiliency.
Extensive Layer 3 Features. Implemented as complete L3 devices, these switches include functions such
as IP interface, static route, IPv6 Static Route, ARP and single IP management to enhance performance and
network resiliency.
QoS. The switches supports bandwidth control and 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 and IPv6 traffic class priority in the network.
Network Security. D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features 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. Also supports DHCP Server Screening, SSL, SSH and Smart Binding
features.
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
Users may now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably
one that is grounded and surge protected).

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
NOTE: The switch's factory default IP address is
10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and
a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
The web configuration can also be accessed through the SmartConsole Utility. Open the SmartConsole
Utility and double-click the switch as it appears in the Monitor List. This will automatically load the web
configuration in your web browser.
When the following logon dialog box appears, enter the password and choose the language of the Web-
based Management interface then click OK.
The switch supports 10 languages including English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, German,
Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Russian. By default, the password is admin and the
language is English.

Smart Wizard
After a successful login, the Smart Wizard will guide you through essential settings of the D-Link Web Smart
Switch. Please refer to the Smart Wizard Configuration section for details.
Web-based Management
By clicking the Exit button in the Smart Wizard, you will enter the Web-based Management interface. Please
refer to Chapter 5 Configuration for detailed instructions.
SmartConsole Utility
The SmartConsole Utility included in the installation CD is a program for discovering D-Link Smart Switches
within the same network segment connected to your PC. This tool is only for computers running Windows
2000, Windows XP, Windows 7, or Windows Vista operating systems. There are two options for the
installation of the SmartConsole Utility; one is through the autorun program on the installation CD and the
other is manual installation.
