Viewing the Device
The device described in this section is a stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch. Device management is
performed using an Embedded Web Server (EWS) or through a Command Line Interface (CLI). The device
configuration is performed via RS-232 interface.
This section contains descriptions for the following:
•Front Panel
•Back Panel
Front Panel
DES-3228PA is a high-performance Fast Ethernet switch that provides 24-Port 10/100Mbps + 2 Combo Copper/
SFP (100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X Fiber ports) + 2 1000 Mbps Copper stacking ports.
The following figure illustrates the DES-3228PA front panel.
Figure 1: DES-3228PA Front Panel
The device front panel is configured as follows:
•24 10/100Base-T ports — RJ-45 TX auto-sensing switching ports. The RJ-45 ports are designated as ports
Ports 1-24.
•RS-232 Console port — An asynchronous serial console port supporting the RS-232 electrical specification.
The port is used to connect the device to the console managing the device.
•2 SFP 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X Fiber ports — There are two T/SFP ports designated as ports Ports 25
and 26, which are also Combo ports.

10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet Ports
The device contains 10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports. The ports are an RJ-45 ports which support half- and
full-duplex mode 10/100Mbps.
Combo Copper/SFP Port (100Base-FX/1000Base-X Fiber Ports)
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Optical Transceivers are integrated duplex data GBIC links for bi-directional
communication over multimode optical fiber, designed for high-speed Fiber Channel data links. The SFP port is
designated as 1000Base-X.
The SFP (GBIC) port can be removed and inserted as required. The following figure illustrates the GBIC insertion.
