The DGS-1210-24P has 24 PoE ports, providing up to 30W. This gives administrators the flexibility to connect 802.3af compatible devices such as network cameras and IP telephones, as well as 802.3at pre-standard devices such as 802.11n access points. For the first time, the PoE functionality is programmable, so that at certain times, consumption can be reduced to save energy.

The DGS-1210 belongs to the third generation of D-Link's Web Smart Switches, which integrate advanced security and management features for performance and application modularity. Featuring an innovative fanless design that ensures quiet operation and long life, the DGS-1210 is a complete and cost-effective solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Product feature highlights:

• Dual image, dual configuration: Test your network's efficiency and protect your network during critical upgrades
• Surveillance mode interface: D-Link's unique surveillance mode interface is easy to use and provides an instant snapshot of the security topology
• Fibre uplink ports: Connect separate areas of the network at Gigabit speeds from fibre, and reach greater distances
• Limited Lifetime Warranty: Register and receive comprehensive coverage and support under a limited lifetime warranty from one of the global leaders in the industry

Equipped with a comprehensive set of L2 features, these switches include IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree protocol and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x flow control function allows servers to connect directly to the switch for fast and reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps in full duplex mode, Gigabit ports provide servers with high-speed data pipes with minimal data transfer losses.

Network management functions include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection detects loops created by a specific port and automatically closes the affected port. Cable diagnostics is designed so that network administrators can quickly examine the quality of copper cables and determine the type of cable fault.
