ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of the D-Link DES-1008PA, an 8-
Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with 4-Port PoE. This Switch
integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network
capabilities in a highly flexible package. Port-1 to Port-4 on the switch
support Power over Ethernet (PoE), meaning it will automatically
detect the presence of an IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered device (PD)
and provide power through the port. The switch provides up to 15.4 W
per PoE port and can be used to power WLAN access points, IP
phones, video cameras, and other PD devices. The Switch will
automatically detect the network appliance’s requirements, and will
supply the required power to each appliance accordingly.
