The D-Link DGS-1210 Series Smart Managed Switches are the latest generation of switches to provide increased Power over Ethernet (PoE) output, a range of physical interface types, multiple management interfaces and advanced Layer 2 features. Support for IPv6 management and configurations ensures your network remains protected after the upgrade from IPv4 to IPv6. By offering multiple management options, the Gigabit Smart Managed Switches allows quick deployment, infrastructure expansion, and seamless function upgrades. Built for small and medium-sized businesses, the DGS-1210 Series provide functionality, security, and manageability for a fraction of the standard cost of ownership. The DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart Managed Switches includes a range of affordable PoEenable switches for businesses looking to power VoIP phones, wireless access points or network cameras. The DGS-1210-08P is a 8-port Smart Managed PoE Switch that provides 8 PoE-enabled ports that can supply power of up to 30 W each. Whereas the DGS-1210-24P is a 24-port Smart Managed PoE Switch that provides 24 PoE-enabled ports that can support up to 30 W of power output following IEEE 802.3at standard. The design allows more flexibility in power allocation for a variety of powered devices with affordable installation costs. The DGS-1210 Series is designed for easy management. All configurations can be made through a Web interface regardless of the host PC’s operating system. Furthermore, the web UI contains ten language options to make operations more straightforward. During the first installation, the D-Link Network Assistant will automatically discover all D-Link Gigabit Smart Managed Switches in the network, allowing administrators to assign IP addresses and the subnet mask quickly. It also allows simultaneous firmware upgrades to multiple switches, saving a great deal of time. The D-Link Network Assistant’s important management commands, such as downloading firmware or a configuration file, offer a sophisticated method of batch operations for multiple switches.
