BOUT UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the D-Link DSS-5+. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in one high-performance, easy-to-use solution. Purpose This manual will familiarize you with the DSS-5+ and guide you through the installation process.
LAN. If an Ethernet network begins to display 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.

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. As a result, the switch reduces considerably, the likelihood of traffic congestion.
The DSS-5+ is scalable, allowing two or more DSS-5+s 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.

Auto-MDI/MDI-X function supports automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, giving true ‘plug and play’ capability—Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cables can be plugged into any port. Nway Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps), providing an automatic and flexible solution for the network.
Setup The setup of the DSS-5+ can be performed using the following steps: The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.
This green indicator light is on when the DSS-5+ is receiving power; otherwise, it is off. Collision : As collision occur on any port of the Switch it will blink. Collisions are normal in an Ethernet network. 100Mbps Link/Activity, 10Mbps Link/Activity Indicator...
DSS-5+ 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet Switch Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports: All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The AutoMDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch—just plug either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port. DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external DC power adapter.
DSS-5+. DSS-5+ to other devices The DSS-5+ 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.
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.
The DSS-5+ can also be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose. Please make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the illustration below: A.) Mounting on a cement wall...
