Product Description

The D-Link DES-1210 Series is the latest generation of Web Smart switches to feature D-Link Green technology.  These switches integrate advanced management and security functions that provide performance and scalability.  The DES-1210-52 is equipped with 48 10/100Mbps ports, 2 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and 2 combo 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP ports.

The DES-1210 Series is the latest generation of D-Link® 10/100 Web Smart Switches featuring D-Link Green 3.0 technology. The switches comply with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard. Support for IPv6 management and configuration features helps ensure your network remains protected after an upgrade from IPv4 to IPv6. By offering multiple management options, these switches allow quick deployment, infrastructure expansion, and seamless upgrades. Targeting small and medium sized businesses, the DES-1210 Web Smart switches provide functionality and manageability for a fraction of the standard cost of ownership.

The DES-1210 Series switches support 24 or 48 10/100BASE-TX ports. In addition, each switch supports 4 Gigabit ports – two are dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps copper (RJ45), while the other two are Gigabit “combo” ports and can be used for either copper (RJ45) or SFP optical.

PoE Support

One model in the DES-1210 series family, the DES-1210-28P, delivers Power-over-Ethernet capabilities, simplifying deployments with IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other powered devices. It supports 802.3at on its first four ports (30W max per port) and supports 802.3af on ports 5 through 24 (15.4W max. per port.) Its total power budget is 193W. Using the product’s management interface, an administrator can control various PoE functions, such as remotely rebooting cameras or access points, from anywhere on the network, including over the Internet. The switches also support time-based PoE – an option that allows administrators to set a time window that determines when each port’s PoE power is turned on and off.

Energy Saving

The DES-1210 Series Switches are capable of conserving power without sacrificing operational performance or functionality by using D-Link Green 3.0 technology. Using the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, the network will automatically decrease the power usage when traffic is low with no setup required. For environments not fully supporting the standard, these switches offer advanced power-saving settings including port shutoff and standby, LED shutoff, and system hibernation based on custom time profiles. The time profiles can also be applied to the PoE switches so that unnecessary power consumption can be saved during off hours. The switches can also detect the length of connected cables to automatically reduce power usage on shorter cable connections.

Easy Management

The D-Link Web Smart Switch series is designed for easy management. All configuration can be made through a Web interface regardless of the host PC’s operating system. Furthermore, the web UI contains ten language options to make operations more straightforward. In the initial installation, the D-Link Network Assistant Utility will automatically discover all D-Link Smart switches in the network, allowing administrators to assign IP addresses and subnet masks quickly. It also allows simultaneous firmware upgrades to multiple switches, saving a great deal of time. Important management commands, such as download firmware or configuration file, can be completed using batch operations for multiple switches.

Auto Surveillance VLAN and Voice VLAN

The D-Link Web Smart series automates the process of setting up IP surveillance and VoIP devices on a network. Auto Surveillance VLAN consolidates data and surveillance video transmission through the network, sparing businesses the expense of maintaining dedicated facilities. ASV also helps protect the quality of real time video by grouping IP surveillance devices on a single high priority VLAN. This helps ensure that surveillance video streams will not be affected when ordinary data traffic is at a high level. Similarly, the Auto Voice VLAN helps provide clear quality and efficient transmission for all voice communication.
