Product Information

Full details

The D-Link DGS-1026MP is a 26-port Gigabit Max PoE Switch designed for businesses needing to power devices like IP cameras and wireless access points. Its key benefit is providing power and network connectivity through a single cable, simplifying setup. However, it's essential to manage the Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget to avoid overloading the switch. This unmanaged switch offers 24 PoE+ ports with a 370W budget, two Gigabit combo uplink ports, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) for cost savings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is PoE and why is it important?

PoE (Power over Ethernet) allows network devices to receive power through the same Ethernet cable that transmits data, simplifying installation and reducing the need for separate power outlets.

How many devices can I power with this switch?

You can power up to 24 PoE-enabled devices, as the switch has 24 PoE+ ports. However, the total power consumption of all connected devices must not exceed 370W.

Can I use this switch with non-PoE devices?

Yes, you can connect non-PoE devices to the switch. They will receive data connectivity but will not be powered through the Ethernet cable.

What is the function of the combo uplink ports?

The combo uplink ports provide flexibility for connecting the switch to your network core, allowing for either copper (RJ-45) or fiber (SFP) connections to increase network bandwidth.

Does this switch require any configuration?

No, the DGS-1026MP is an unmanaged switch, meaning it is a plug-and-play device. No configuration is needed for basic operation.

What does the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) do?

EEE monitors network traffic and automatically puts unused ports into a low-power mode, reducing energy consumption and saving on operating costs.

What is the warranty period for the D-Link DGS-1026MP?

The D-Link DGS-1026MP typically comes with a standard manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to your product documentation or contact D-Link support for warranty details.

How do I monitor the PoE power usage?

The switch has PoE usage LEDs that indicate the current PoE power consumption. Monitor these LEDs to ensure you don't exceed the total power budget.

Troubleshooting

Devices connected to the switch are not receiving power.

Check if the device is PoE compatible. Verify that the PoE budget is not exceeded. Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected. Check the LED indicators on the switch for PoE status.

Slow network speeds.

Ensure all cables are securely connected. Check the network devices for any bottlenecks. Verify that the switch and connected devices are operating at Gigabit speeds.

The switch is not powering on.

Check the power cord and outlet. Make sure the power switch on the back of the device is turned on.

PoE devices are not functioning correctly.

Check the power draw of each PoE device to ensure it's within the 30W per port limit. Try connecting a different device to test the port. Check the Ethernet cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplified device installation with PoE.
  • High power budget supports numerous PoE devices.
  • Flexible network expansion options.
  • Energy-saving features reduce operating costs.
  • Easy to set up and use.
  • Reliable performance for business networks.

Cons

  • Unmanaged switch lacks advanced configuration options.
  • Limited to 8192 MAC address entries.
  • Requires careful PoE budget management.
  • No support for 10G speeds.
  • Fan-cooled, which may generate noise.
  • Can be complex for users unfamiliar with PoE concepts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Remove the switch from the packaging and verify all components are present (switch, power cord, rack-mount kit).
  2. Connect Devices: Plug your network devices (IP cameras, APs, etc.) into the RJ-45 ports. Ensure the devices support PoE if you intend to power them through the switch.
  3. Connect to Network: Connect the switch to your existing network using one of the Gigabit uplink ports. Use an Ethernet cable for copper connections or an SFP module and fiber optic cable for fiber connections.
  4. Power On: Plug the power cord into the switch and a power outlet. The switch will start up automatically.
  5. Monitor PoE Usage: Observe the PoE usage LEDs to monitor power consumption and ensure you do not exceed the 370W budget.

Compatibility

The D-Link DGS-1026MP is compatible with:

  • Devices supporting IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+).
  • Devices with Gigabit Ethernet ports.
  • Standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better).

Care

  • Keep the switch in a clean, dry environment.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Do not block the fan vents.
  • Clean the switch with a dry cloth.
