INTRODUCTION
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of
desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance
networks. 100BAS E-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a cost-eff ective and high-
performance solution for small workgroups, SMBs (Small to Medium
Businesses), and any network supporting bandwidth-intensive applications.
Fast Ethernet technology operates at 10 times the speed of traditional
Ethernet, offering maximum performance and enhanced capa bility for
existing Ethernet-based networks.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN
committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the
ability to transmit and receive data at 100M bps, while m aintaining the
CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is
compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a
straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of the existing investment in
hardware, software, and personnel training.
Switching Technology
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity
available to users on a LA N. If an Et her net net w ork begins to di spla y
symptoms of congestion, low throughput, slow response times, and high
rates of collision, installing a switch to a network can preserve much or all
of the existing network's cabling and workstation interface card
infrastructure, while still greatly enhancing the throughput for users. A
switch is a viable solu tion even if demanding applicatio ns, such as
multimedia production and video conferencing, are on the horizon. The
most promising techniques, as well as the best return on investment, could
well consist of installing the right mixture of Ethernet switches.
A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a
local area network into different LAN segments. Dividing a LAN into
3
multiple segments is one of the most common ways of increasing available
bandwidth. If segmented correctly, most network traffic will remain within
a single segment, enjoying the fu ll-line speed bandwidth of that segment.
Switches provide full-line speed and dedicated bandwidth for all
connections. This is in contrast to hubs, which use the traditional shared
networking topology, where the connected nodes contend for the same
network bandwidth. When two switching nodes are communicating, they
are connected with a dedicated channel between them, so there is no
contention for network bandwidth with other nodes.
For Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating the
problem of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can
be used to split parts of the network into different collision do mains,
making it possible to expand your Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter
network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting
both 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for
bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and newer 100Mbps
networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous
generation of n et wo rk hu bs an d bridges, whic h were characterized by
higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area
networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required,
make routers relatively i mpractical. Today switches are an ideal solution
to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.
802.1p and QoS
The DES-105/108 Switch supports 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service. The
implementation of QoS (Quality of Service) and benefits of using 802.1p priority queuing are
described here.

Features
The DES-105/108 is a high performance switch designed specifically for
environments where traffic on the network and the number of users
increase continuously.
DES-105/108 implements D-Link’s Green Technology special power-
saving features under speed at 100Mbps that link status and adjust power
usage accordingly. Further, D-Link Green implements the newly ratified
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard for reducing energy
consumption of network links during periods of low utilization by
transitioning interfaces into low-power state without interrupting the
network connection.
DES-105/108 has special front access design for Et hernet ports/LEDs to
help user easier to understand and control network status. Metal case
design is useful for strengthening cooling and suitable for departmental
environment, providing users the best performance. DES-105/108 was
specially designed for small to mid-size workgroups and can be installed
where space is limited.
The DES-105/108 is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed
servers for 10M bps or 100Mbp s shared-ban dwidth workgroups. Wit h the
highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can
provide workstations with a con gest i o n- free data pipe for simultaneous
access to the server.
The DES-105/108 is scalable, allowing two or more DES-105/108 to be
cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of its five
ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex
Fast Ethernet pipe.
The DES-105/108 is the perfect choice for a department or office planning
to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-105/108 can accommodate 10Mbps
or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution for existing (10Mbps)
Ethernet workgroups.
The DES-105/ 10 8 c ombines dynam i c memory all ocat i o n wi th st ore-and-
forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each
port; and it controls the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes
5
to guarantee against possible packet loss.
The DES-105/108 is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that
offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of small Ethernet
workgroups.

CONNECTING THE SWITCH
PC to DES-105/108
A computer can be connected to the DES-105/108 via a two-pair Category
3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A computer
equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps port can be connected to any of the
five DES-105/108 ports.
The LED indicators for the PC connection depend on the capability of the
computer’s Ethernet card. If the LED indicators are not lit after making a
proper connection, check the computer’s Ethernet card, the cable, and the
DES-105/108’s conditions and connections.
Hub to DES-105/108
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connect ed to the DE S- 10 5/ 1 0 8 via a
two-pair Cate g ory 3, 4, or 5 U TP/ STP St rai g ht -Through or C ross o ver
cable. For 100Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must be use d. The
connection is accomplished from any port of the hub to any port of the
DES-105/108.
DES-105/108 to other devices
The DES-105/108 can be connected to another switch or other devices
(routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-
Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be used for
100Mbps operation. The connection can be accomplished from any (MDI-
X) port on the DES-105/108 to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X)
ports on another switch or other devices.
11
Port Speed & Duplex Mode
After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-
negotiation to determine the transmission mode, auto-detecting the
network speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) for any new twisted-pair connection.
If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-
negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to select the
speed and half-duplex mode is selected.
