  • Page 9: About This Guide

    This section defines the scope of this guide and gives a summary of the contents of each chapter. It describes the features of the D-Link DES-3216 10/100 Auto Negotiation Switch. Information about the DES-3216 other D-Link products is available on our web site at www.dlink.com.

  • Page 10: Introduction

    The chapter is divided into the following sections. Each section briefly describes the features of the DES-3216. Most of the topics discussed will be explained in greater detail later in the manual.

  • Page 11: Front Panel

    All 16 MDI-X ports on the DES-3216 can be used for network connections. Figure 1: DES-3216 Front Panel All LEDs are located on the front panel of the DES-3216. Their purpose is to allow you to monitor the operation and performance of the DES-3216 at a glance.

  • Page 12: Management Methods

    3216 in this mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the DES-3216. Telnet Management Telnet is done over the network. Once the DES-3216 is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.

  • Page 13: Installing The Des-3216

    This chapter covers the following: Unpacking the DES-3216 Installation options and instructions Powering on the DES-3216 Open the box and carefully unpack the DES-3216. You should have all the items on the following checklist: DES-3216 10/100 Auto Negotiation Switch RS-232 DCE serial cable...

  • Page 14: Power On

    The power plug is located at the rear of the DES-3216. Plug the cable into the wall socket and plug the other end into the DES-3216. There is a power on/ off switch located at the rear of the DES-3216. Move the switch to the on position to power the DES-3216 on. The Power LED will light and all ports will auto negotiate the proper speed and duplex mode when the DES-3216 is powered on.

  • Page 15: Connecting The Des-3216 To The Network

    Connecting the DES-3216 to another DES-3216 Connecting the DES-3216 to other switches and hubs This section deals with making cables and connecting the DES-3216 to other devices. It is extremely important that cables have the correct pin arrangement and that the proper cables be used when connecting to servers, switches, hubs, workstations and other devices.
  • Page 16 10/100 Auto Negotiation Switch User’s Guide must use the correct pin arrangement in order for the DES-3216 to work properly. See Figure 3 for an example of straight through and crossover cable. Figure 3: Cable Diagram Connecting the DES-3216 to the Network...

  • Page 17: Ports

    The advantage of an MDI-X port is that you can connect a device with an MDI-II port without using a crossover cable. The steps for connecting the DES-3216 to 10 Mbps devices or 100 Mbps devices are the same. All the ports will auto negotiate the proper speed and duplex mode.

  • Page 18: Leds

    10/100 Auto Negotiation Switch User’s Guide The LED panel of the DES-3216, displayed in Figure 4, is designed to allow you to manage the DES-3216 at a glance. The LEDs indicate the following: Power Speed Link Activity Duplex mode All of the LEDs are described in detail. Use the tables to determine the meaning of each LED.

  • Page 19: Des-3216 Led Panel

    DES-3216 LED Panel The LED panel allows you to manage the DES-3216 at a glance. The first group of LEDs is numbered 1-8 and the second is numbered 9-16. The numbers on the LEDs corresponds to the numbers on the ports. See Table 3: DES-3216 LEDs for an explanation of the LEDs.

  • Page 21: Managing The Des-3216

    DES-3216 cannot be reached by any other means. Use Local Console Management to log into the DES-3216 for the first time. You do not need to know the IP address to log into the DES-3216 using Local Console Management. You can change all the settings and configure the DES-3216, set the IP address and perform other management functions.

  • Page 22: Telnet

    5. Press Enter to reach the Main menu. Telnet You can manage the DES-3216 via Telnet session. However, first you must assign a unique IP address to the DES-3216. Use Local Console Management to log into the DES-3216 for the first time so that you can assign an IP address. Once you have assigned an IP address to the DES-3216, you can use the management method of your choice.

  • Page 23: Log In

    The Log In panel, displayed in Figure 5, is the first panel you see when connecting to the DES-3216. All management methods require you to log into the DES-3216 with your user name and password before beginning a management session. For security, you should change the default User Name and Password.

    DES-3216. There are two options: Store & Forward and Cut-Through. Figure 13: System Rate Control The DES-3216 can be set for Store and Forward or Cut-Through. This is a global setting that affects all the ports except the RS-232 port.
  • Page 35 Advantages of Cut-Through Cut-Through is faster because the packet is sent as soon as the first 128 bytes are received. Cut-Through requires less memory since the DES-3216 only reads the address but does not store the entire message. Disadvantages of Cut-Through Bad packets are perpetuated, taking up bandwidth.
