24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet + 4 10/100/1000Base-T Ports and
2 Combo SFP PoE Web-Smart Switch. This device integrates
1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps
Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Since Ports
1~24 of this Switch are Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, it will
automatically detect the presence of IEEE 802.3af compliant devices
and will provide power through these PoE ports. The Switch provides
up to 15.4Watts per port and can be connected to WLAN access
points, IP phones, video cameras, and other PD devices. The Switch
will automatically detect the network appliance's requirements, and
the Switch will supply the required power current to each appliance.

This guide will show you how to install and use the configuration
functions of the DES-1228P Web-Smart Switch step-by-step.
Terms/Usage
