4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The DGS-1024D is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring user configuration. Once powered on and connected to your network devices, it will begin forwarding data.
4.1 Indikaturi LED
L-LEDs tal-pannell ta' quddiem jipprovdu status viżwali tal-operazzjoni tas-swiċċ:
- LED tal-qawwa:
- Aħdar Solidu: Is-swiċċ huwa mixgħul.
- Mitfi: Is-swiċċ mhux qed jirċievi l-enerġija.
- LEDs tal-Link/Act (għal kull port):
- Aħdar Solidu: A valid network link is established at 1000 Mbps.
- Ambra solida: A valid network link is established at 10/100 Mbps.
- Teptip: Id-dejta qed tiġi trażmessa jew riċevuta fuq dak il-port.
- Mitfi: No network device is connected, or there is a link issue.

4.2 Green Ethernet Features
The DGS-1024D incorporates D-Link Green Ethernet technology to optimize power consumption:
- Link Status Detection: Automatically reduces power to ports that are idle or not connected to a device.
- Cable Length Detection: Adjusts power usage based on the length of the connected Ethernet cable, consuming less power for shorter cables.
- Ethernet Effiċjenti fl-Enerġija (EEE): Dynamically reduces power consumption during periods of low data activity.
5. Manutenzjoni
The DGS-1024D switch is designed for minimal maintenance.
- Tindif: Uża drapp artab u niexef biex tnaddaf il-barra tas-swiċċ. Tużax prodotti tat-tindif likwidi jew aerosol.
- Ventilazzjoni: Ensure that the ventilation openings on the sides of the switch are not blocked to prevent overheating. The fanless design relies on natural convection for cooling.
- Aġġornamenti tal-Firmware: As an unmanaged switch, the DGS-1024D typically does not require user-initiated firmware updates. Any updates would generally be handled by D-Link and are not user-serviceable.
