D-Link’s Latest Web Smart Gigabit Switch Includes Green Technology and Power over Ethernet
Announcement posted by D-Link Australia 11 Aug 2009
“With its easy-to-use, robust feature set, the DGS-1224TP makes a great solution for any growing business,” said Maurice Famularo, Marketing Director for D-Link Australia and New Zealand. “With Power over Ethernet and D-Link Green technology, it is ideal for installing wireless access points, network cameras, VoIP phones and other network equipment.”
Inbuilt D-Link Green technology results in reduced power consumption and heat dissipation. If a port does not have a cable link or the connected device is powered down, the port goes to “sleep mode”, reducing power consumption and saving energy. With Power over Ethernet, the DGS-1224TP simplifies installation of attached devices and reduces deployment costs. Total PoE power budget on up to 24 10/100/1000 ports is 180 watts.
The DGS-1224TP also complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives restricting the use of specific hazardous materials during the manufacture of electrical and electronic goods and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives for proper disposal and recyclable packaging to help reduce wastage.
The DGS-1224TP provides a robust set of security features normally found only in fully managed switching solutions. It is equipped with the D-Link Safeguard Engine™ to protect the CPU from malicious attacks. When frames enter the switch, the D-Link Safeguard Engine detects and blocks broadcast, multicast, and unicast flooding, which can overload a CPU and bring network traffic to a halt.
The DGS-1224TP is housed in a new style 19” rackmount case with an easy-to-view front panel and diagnostic LEDs. User-friendly, Web-based management is supported for easy configuration and flexibility for different network requirements.
In addition to the Web-based Management Interface, the DGS-1224TP ships with the D-Link SmartConsole Utility. This utility provides a valuable tool in managing, planning, and troubleshooting network configurations. With full colour graphics, diagrams, and easy-to-understand navigation menus, the SmartConsole Utility means setting up a Web Smart switch takes only minutes.
The switch supports SNMP v1, a useful tool in managing and
controlling SNMP-supported network devices. SNMP enables the switches to
provide valuable information about the switch’s status and send traps on
abnormal events, saving time and money. Users can manage DGS-1224TP switches
from a remote station using the Trusted Host function. Management can be from
up to three designated management stations through a Web browser or telnet
session.
The DGS-1224TP is designed with a cable diagnostic feature
that detects transmission errors and the condition of cables attached to the
switch’s Gigabit copper ports. Cable diagnostics make it easier to troubleshoot
cabling issues through a Web-based interface and keep all connections up and
running.
The D-Link DGS-1224TP also provides support for a range of other advanced features including four Gigabit uplink Combo SFP Ports, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging, Asymmetric VLANs, 802.1p Priority Tagging or DSCP-based Quality of Service (QoS), Static Link Aggregation, Jumbo Frame support, IGMP Snooping and 802.1D Spanning Tree.
