                        extension of the 10BaseT Ethernet standard, designed to raise the data  transmission capacity of 10BaseT from 10Mbits/sec to 100Mbits/sec. An  important technology incorporated by 100BaseT is its use of the Carrier  Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol -  which is the same protocol that 10BaseT uses - because of its ability to  work with several different types of cable, including basic twisted-pair  wiring. Both of these features play an important role in network  c

                        For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating  the problem of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch  can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains,  making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the  205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches  supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet  are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new  1

                         1000BASE-T Twisted Pair Ports (Port 25~26)    The DES-1026G is equipped with two Gigabit twisted pair ports  that are auto negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and also support auto  MDI/MDIX crossover detection. These two ports can operate in  half- and full- duplex modes.      Rear Panel       AC Power Connector  This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord.  Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this  connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input

                         Install the DES-1026G on a sturdy, level surface that can  support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack.     When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber  feet to the bottom of each device.  The rubber feet cushion the  hub and protects the hub case from scratching.    Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom    Rack Mounting  The DES-1026G can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack,  which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment

                          Connecting Network Cable  The DES-1026G supports 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. It runs  full/half duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer  mode for 1000Mbps. Each port on the DES-1026G supports Auto- MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X is a feature that eliminates the need for  worrying about using either a standard or crossover cable—you can use  either one—and allows any port to be an uplink port.    AC Power  The DES-1026G can be used with AC power supply 100~240V AC,  50~60
