Congratulations on your purchase of the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch. This
device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network
capabilities in a highly flexible desktop package.
Purpose
This manual discusses how to install your DES-1004/DES-1008 10/100 Fast
Ethernet Switch.
Terms/Usage
For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first letter upper
case) to refer to the DES- 1004/DES-1008 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch, and
“switch” (first letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches, including
the DES-1004/ DES-1008.
For simplicity and brevity, this manual discusses two 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Switch models. The DES-1004 is a four port model, and the DES-1008 is an
eight port model. These models are similar in every respect except for the
number of ports. Therefore, all information provided in this manual is
applicable to both, and at particular points, the differentiating elements
between them will be mentioned.
