The manual for the D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPPV2 uses three types of indicators to provide important information:

• NOTE: A note indicates important information that helps you make better use of your device.

• NOTICE: A notice indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem.

• CAUTION: A caution indicates a potential for property damage, personal injury, or death.

The front panel of the D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPPV2 has several LEDs and buttons with specific functions:

Power LED: Lights up when the Switch is connected to a power source.

Port LED Indicator (For PoE Model): A LED select button switches the display mode for all 10/100/1000Mbps ports between Link/Act/Speed Mode and PoE Mode.

Link/Act/Speed LED (Ports 1-26):

• Solid Green: Indicates a secure 1000Mbps connection at the port.

• Blinking Green or Amber: Indicates that there is reception or transmission occurring at the port.

• Solid Amber: Indicates a secure 10/100Mbps connection at the port.

• Light off: No link.

PoE Mode (Ports 1-24):

• Green: A Powered Device (PD) is inserted and power is being fed.

• Amber: A PD is inserted but a failure has occurred (e.g., PSE cannot provide power due to a PD error or insufficient power budget).

• Light off: No PD is inserted.

LED Mode Button: Pressing this button will change the LED behavior from Link mode to PoE mode and vice versa.

Reset Button: Pressing the Reset button until all port LEDs turn amber will revert the Switch to its default configuration, and all changes will be lost.

Note: The LED behavior for ports 1-24 will switch between Link mode and PoE mode when the PoE mode is active. Ports 1-20 have a PoE power budget of 30 watts/port. Ports 21-24 have a PoE power budget of 90 watts/port. The total PoE Power budget for the D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPPV2 is 525 watts.

Follow these steps to install your D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPPV2 switch.

Step 1: Unpacking

Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack its contents. The package should include:

• One D-Link DGS-1100 Series Switch

• AC power cord

• Four rubber feet

• Screws and two mounting brackets

• One accessory kit for a ground screw

• One Getting Started Guide

If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller.

Step 2: Switch Installation

For safe installation, ensure:

• The power cord is fully secured to the AC power connector.

• There is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.

• You do not place heavy objects on the switch.

Desktop or Shelf Installation:

Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and surrounding objects.

Rack Installation:

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) using the provided screws. Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.

Step 3: Plugging in the AC Power Cord

Connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one that is grounded and surge protected).

You must complete this procedure before powering on your D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPPV2. You will need the included ground screw, a ground cable (not included), and a screwdriver (not included).

Step 1: Verify that the system power is off.

Step 2: Use the ground cable to place the #8 terminal lug ring on top of the ground-screw opening.

Step 3: Insert the ground screw into the ground-screw opening.

Step 4: Using a screwdriver, tighten the ground screw to secure the ground cable to the switch.

Step 5: Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding stud or bolt on the rack where the switch is installed.

Step 6: Verify that the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely attached.

To begin the web configuration of your D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPPV2, you need a PC with an RJ-45 Ethernet connection and a standard Ethernet cable.
