2.2.11 Managed Network Software for DFG48000-Series
DFG48000-Series’s come with licensed Firmware (Rel 3.2), which allows to configure the DFG48000 as a
Managed Switch and other Software enabled features. For additional information see the DFG48000 -
Series Software User guide in PDF format, a separate document normally accessed via your web-browser

2.3 Features and Benefits
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs
DFG48000 Switches provide non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at once) performance with
standard Managed Networks Software included. They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 16 to
24 100Mb ports and one or 2 Gigabit ports for backbone connections, where managed network services
are desired.
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization
The DFG48000 switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing priority to priority tagged
packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For portand application-specific priorities, the QoS
software may be configured by the user.
Features Fiber-Built-In
DFG48000 Managed Fiber Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports, and support mixes of
multi-mode and single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and half-duplex; classic Small Form
Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port
types.
Modular design for port flexibility, in a 1U space-saving rack-mount package
The 1U DFG48000 chassis has 4 slots for port configurations. Family of 4, 6 or 8 port modules allows the
user to select the desired mix of port types & speeds. The port modules are normally factory installed
and tested, but may be changed in the field.
Rack-mounting may be standard or “reverse”, 19 inch or ETSI or 23” Telco
The standard rack mounting provides Ethernet ports and status LEDs in front, service connections (power
input and management console) in the rear. “Reverse” rack mounting provides status LEDs in front and
all cabling connections in the rear. Standard 19’ rack mount brackets are included, with ETSI and 23”
Telco optional.
Standard AC power input 100-240VAC
Standard AC power input is IEC plug, 100-240VAC auto-ranging for worldwide use.
Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation
Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Dante Security DFG48000 design provides for
this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature can be up to 55°C.
NEBS and ETSI tested and certified
The DFG48000 has been tested and certified for NEBS and ETSI. Request test reports.
DFG48000
licensed Network Management Software included, S-Ring optional
Release 2.3 (summer ’03) includes SNMP Switch Management with secure access control, RMON, CLI,
Port Security; Port Mirroring; Port Settings Control; Telnet, TFTP, FTP support, Spanning Tree Protocol,
RSTP, Web-based, multi-level QoS, Port- and tag-based VLANs, GVRP, IGMP Snooping, SNMPc GUI
support; Event Log; SNTP client for time-of-day; BootP and DHCP client for IP configuring, and password

RJ-45 ports are MDI/MDIX supported
The RJ-45 modules are equipped with MDI/MDIX capability to eliminate the use of cross-over cable. The
Auto-MDIX capability, allow the Dante Security DFG48000 to cascade any Hub, switches or media
converters with normal straight cable.
