Wall Mount Kit

Power Adapter

D-Link Green Technology implements special power-saving features that detect cable length and link

status and adjust power usage accordingly. Green Technology saves energy in two specic ways:

1. If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned o ) the

port(s) will enter a “sleep mode” which will drastically reduce the amount of power used.

2. D-Link Green Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power

usage accordingly without aecting performance. This way, a port connected to a 20m or under

cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, which is only needed for

100m cables.

This product is IEEE 802.3az Energy Eciency Ethernet compliant. The IEEE 802.3az EEE standard denes

mechanisms and protocols intended to reduce the energy consumption of network links during

periods of low utilization, by transitioning interfaces into a low-power state without interrupting the

network connection. Both connected devices must support 802.3az EEE for power saving support. If the

connected device does not support 802.3az EEE, the switch will default to D-Link’s Green Technology of

power saving.

Power Indicator - This green indicator light is on when the Switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is o.

Link/Act - This LED indicator light is green when the port is successfully connected to an 1000Mbps

device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.

This LED indicator light is amber when the port is successfully connected to an 100Mbps or 10Mbps

device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.

LEDs

Connecting the Switch

Step 1

Plug the supplied power adapter into the Switch and the other end into a power outlet, power strip,

or surge protector (recommended). Verify the Power indicator is lit on the Switch.

Step 2

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable in the device you want to connect to the Switch and the other

end into one of the Ethernet ports on the Switch. Check the Link lights (LEDs) on both the Switch and

the device to verify that the cable is good and that there is a valid connection.

Note: A Category 5e (or higher) Ethernet cable must be used for 1000Mbps operation.

DGS-1008G

• You may mount the Switch on a wall with the included mounting kit. Two mounting slots are

provided on the bottom of the Switch for this purpose.
