24-Port Copper Gigabit Smart Switch
With 2 Combo SFP (Mini GBIC)
The DGS-1224T copper Gigabit Smart Switch presents a cost-effective solution for the small and medium business to implement
Gigabit Ethernet packet switching with easy fine-tuning of network performance and security. This switch comes with 24
10/100/1000BASE-T copper Gigabit ports and 2 combo SFP (Mini GBIC) ports for flexible fiber Gigabit connection. Port
trunks are provided for server deployment and network backbone attachment, while functions important for bandwidth-intensive
applications such as Priority Queues and VLANs are supported to enable you to implement Quality of Service (QoS) and
security without having to go through complex network management usually found in other managed switches.
24 Copper Gigabit Ports
2 Combo SFP Slots for Flexible Fiber Connection
Port Trunks for Aggregated Bandwidths
24 Gigabit ports provide an inexpensive alternative solution
to fiber-optic. Using your existing low-cost Cat. 5 copper
twisted-pair wires as the transmission media, these ports
allow you to instantly upgrade your servers to Gigabit
capability without requiring you to install new, expensive
fiber cables. All ports support 10/100/1000Mbps network
speed auto-sensing, full/half duplex auto-negotiation and
auto MDI/MDIX plug-and-play.
2 combo SFP (Mini GBIC) slots are provided for flexible
fiber connection. You can select to install optional
transceiver modules in these slots for short, medium or longdistance
fiber backbone attachment. Use of the SFP will
disable their corresponding built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T
connections.
Ports can be combined together to create multi-link loadsharing
aggregated bandwidths to a server or a network
backbone. To expand the network, you can also make use of
the port trunks to eliminate bottlenecks between the cascaded
switches. The switch allows you to combine between 2 and 4
ports per trunk to create multiple port trunks.
VLANs for Enhanced Security & Performance
The switch support VLANs to let you improve security and
bandwidth utilization by limiting the broadcast domains and
confining intra-group traffic within their segments. To
segment up the network, VLAN-supported workstations and
servers that are connected to the switch can be grouped into
different Virtual LANs (VLANs).
Quality of Service Support
The switch supports Layer 2 802.1p Priority Queue control to
prioritize network packets. Classification of users data
priorities can be based on a data packet Priority Queue. This
QoS function support allows you to run bandwidth-intensive
and delay-sensitive applications and to attach video servers to
the switch for video conference.

Setup The DGS-1224T Gigabit Smart
Switch
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
A. Install the DGS-1224T in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical
Specification for the acceptable operation temperature and humidity
ranges.
B. Install the DGS-1224T in a site free from strong electromagnetic
field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct
exposure to sunlight.
C. Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear
of the hub for ventilation.
D. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter.
E. Install the DGS-1224T on a sturdy, level surface that can support
its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack.
F. 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
protect the hub case from scratching.

Rack Mounting
The DGS-1224T can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack,
which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipments. Attach the
mounting brackets to both sides of the Switch (one at each side), and
secure them with the provided screws.
Use the screws provided. Then, use screws provided with the
equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack.
n 1000BASE-T Twisted Pair Ports (Port 1~24)
The DGS-1224T 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 halfand
full- duplex modes.
n Mini GBIC Ports (Option Port 23~24)
The Switch is equipped with two Mini GBIC ports, supported optional
1000BASE-SX/LX Mini GBIC module.
Note: When the port was set to “Forced Mode”, the Auto
MDI/MDIX will be disabled.
