β Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Does this D-Link DGS-1024D switch require configuration before use?
No, it is an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch operating in Plug and Play mode. Simply plug in your RJ-45 network cables and the power supply for it to work immediately. All ports support speed auto-negotiation (10/100/1000 Mbps) and auto-uplink MDI/MDI-X, eliminating the need for crossover cables or manual configuration.
Q2: What is the difference between this model and a managed switch for my professional network?
The Gigabit switch DGS-1024D is an unmanaged model, which means it does not have a web configuration interface or SNMP for advanced network management. However, it includes essential features such as IEEE 802.3x Flow Control, Storm Control, IEEE 802.1p QoS, and Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) that work automatically. This type of desktop switch is ideal for SMEs, offices, classrooms, or network infrastructures that do not require VLANs or complex network monitoring.
Q3: Can I mount this D-Link switch in a standard 19-inch rack in my patch panel?
Yes, absolutely. The DGS-1024D model has a rackmountable design compatible with standard 19-inch racks (1U format). Its compact dimensions (280 x 180 x 44 mm) and robust metal casing allow for professional installation in a rack or desktop configuration. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, which is perfect for noise-sensitive work environments.
Q4: What is the actual power consumption and how does Green Ethernet technology reduce energy costs?
The typical power consumption of the switch is only 26.7 watts. The integrated IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology significantly reduces consumption by automatically detecting ports without an active link and adjusting power according to the length of connected Cat.5/5e/6 cables. This Green Ethernet feature can generate up to 50% energy savings compared to a traditional switch, while being RoHS compliant and using recyclable packaging.
Q5: What types of Ethernet network cables can I use with this 24-port switch?
For 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) connections, you can use UTP Cat.3, Cat.4, Cat.5, or Cat.5e cables up to 100 meters maximum. For Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), prefer UTP Cat.5 or Cat.5e cables. To fully enjoy Gigabit Ethernet speed 1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps / 1 Gbps), you must use at least 4-pair UTP Cat.5e cables, or ideally Cat.6/Cat.6a for optimal performance. All straight-through cables work thanks to auto-MDI/MDIX on each RJ-45 port.
Q6: What is the switching capacity and how many devices can I connect simultaneously?
This Ethernet switch has a switching capacity of 48 Gbps and can handle up to 35.71 million packets per second (Mpps). With its 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, you can connect up to 24 network devices simultaneously (computers, servers, network printers, IP cameras, WiFi access points, NAS). Its MAC address table of 8000 entries and 512 KB buffer ensure smooth performance even during large file transfers or heavy network traffic in your LAN infrastructure.
Q7: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power my IP cameras or VoIP phones?
No, the DGS-1024D model does not have Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) functionality. If you need to power devices via the network cable (IP cameras, VoIP phones, WiFi access points), you will need to either use external PoE injectors or choose a D-Link switch with built-in PoE support. This model is designed for pure Gigabit Ethernet switching with low power consumption and excellent value for money.
