Power Adapter
D-Link Green Technology implements special power-saving features that detect cable length and link
status and adjust power usage accordingly. Green Technology saves energy in two specific ways:
1. If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned off) the
port(s) will enter a “sleep mode” which will drastically reduce the amount of power used.
2. D-Link Green Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power
usage accordingly without affecting performance. This way, a port connected to a 20m or under
cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, which is only needed for
100m cables.
This product is IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficiency Ethernet compliant. The IEEE 802.3az EEE standard defines
mechanisms and protocols intended to reduce the energy consumption of network links during
periods of low utilization, by transitioning interfaces into a low-power state without interrupting the
network connection. Both connected devices must support 802.3az EEE for power saving support. If the
connected device does not support 802.3az EEE, the switch will default to D-Link’s Green Technology of
power saving.

Power Indicator
- This green indicator light is on when the Switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off.
Link/Act -
This LED indicator light is green when the port is successfully connected to a 100Mbps
device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.
This LED indicator light is amber when the port is successfully connected to a 10Mbps device and will
blink as data is transmitted or received.

Connecting the Switch
Step 1
Plug the supplied power adapter into the Switch and the other end into a power outlet, power strip,
or surge protector (recommended). Verify the Power indicator is lit on the Switch.
Step 2
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the device you want to connect to the Switch, and the other
end to one of the Ethernet ports on the Switch. Check the Link lights (LEDs) on both the Switch and
the device to verify that the cable is good and that there is a working connection
Note:
A Category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cable must be used for 100Mbps or higher operation.
