The manual for the D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPV2 uses three types of indicators to which you should pay special attention:

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-1100-26MPV2 provides the following indicators and functions:

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

Port LED Indicator (For PoE Model): A LED select button to switch two modes in turn for all 10/100/1000Mbps ports: Link/Act/Speed Mode and PoE Mode.

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

• Solid Green: When there is a secure 1000Mbps connection at the port.

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

• Solid Amber: When there is a secure 10/100Mbps connection at the port.

• Light off: No link.

PoE Mode (Ports 1-24):

• Green: PD device insert and power feeding.

• Amber: PD device insert but failure occurs. (PSE can’t provide power to PD due to PD error or power budget is not enough.)

• Light off: No PD device insert.

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

Reset: By pressing the Reset button until all port LEDs turn amber, the Switch will change back to the 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. Port 1 ~ Port 24 PoE power budget is 30 watts/port. Total PoE Power budget is 370 watts.

When you unpack your D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPV2, please ensure all the following items are present:

• 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 found missing or damaged, please contact the local reseller for replacement.

When installing the D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPV2 on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be attached on the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.

For safe switch installation and operation, it is recommended that you:

• Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector.

• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.

• Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

The D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPV2 can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack. Follow these steps:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.

2. Use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.

Please be aware of the following safety instructions when installing:

A) Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D) Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E) Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

You must complete this procedure before powering your D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPV2. You will need ground screws (included), a ground cable (not included), and a screwdriver (not included).

Step 1: Verify if 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 if the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely attached.

To access the Web User Interface, you will need a PC with an RJ-45 Ethernet connection and a standard Ethernet cable.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the D-LINK DGS-1100-26MPV2 and to the Ethernet port on the PC.

2. Open a standard web browser on the management PC.

3. Enter the switch’s default IP address into the address bar of the browser and press the Enter key. The default IP address is 10.90.90.90, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

4. This will open the user authentication window. By default, the username is “admin” and the password is also “admin”. Click the Login button.

After successfully connecting to the Web User Interface for the first time, the Smart Wizard will launch. This wizard guides you through basic configuration.
