C-2D-LINK GREEN
D-Link is the fi rst company to create green switching technology.
From that point, we have focused our efforts to expand the use
of green technology throughout all of our product lines. D-Link
Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce
energy consumption.
Green Technology
Power Savings by Cable Length Detection
D-Link Green verifi ed switches have the ability to analyze the length of any Ethernet cable connected to them for adjustment
of power usage accordingly. Shorter lengths require less power.
Power Savings by Link Status
When a computer or network equipment is shut down, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable
amounts of power. D-Link Green Technology allows switches to automatically detect link status and reduce power usage of
ports that are idle.
Time-Based Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Time-based PoE optimization turns PoE on or off based on a schedule to save power. When PoE devices are not in use (that
is during the night, or on the weekend), PoE can be disabled until needed.
Wi-Fi Scheduler
Scheduled Wireless allows administrators to confi gure specifi c hours when the wireless network will be powered off to save
energy and enhance security.
SharePort
SharePort technology saves power by eliminating the need to connect a printer or storage device to a dedicated PC or
print server.
LCD Standby
Devices with LCDs such as photo frames and storage routers include a feature to automatically disable the screen/backlight
when no motion or activity is detected.
Power Saving by Hard Drives Hibernation
In conventional network attached storage (NAS) systems, hard drives are constantly spinning even when they are not
actively being accessed. With green hard drive power management, the hard drive is automatically powered down during
periods of inactivity, saving power, reducing heat and prolonging the life of the equipment.
Smart FAN
Conventionally, fans in network equipment run constantly regardless of whether they are needed or not. D-Link Green
makes use of Smart Fan technology to automatically turn off or lower the speed of the fan to reduce noise and power
consumption whenever system temperatures are low.
Fanless
Switch designs usually require a fan to cool the device down. By adopting advanced design, the device is kept cool without
the need of a fan.
PLC (Power Line Communication) Power Saving
Energy powers down when no Ethernet activity is detected by the device.
Digital Photo Frame Power Saving (Motion Detection Sensor)
Rather than constantly powering a device, the motion detection sensor detects if people are within the vicinity. When users
are not present, the device automatically turns off to minimize energy consumption.
Wireless On/Off Button
Even when wireless connection is not needed it is still active. This feature allows users to simply turn off the function, which
saves energy.
Power On/Off Button
The Power On/Off button allows users to turn off their router/gateway when not in use. This feature allows users to simply
switch off their device rather than physically unplugging the power cord.
Wireless Output Power Management
Tri-level Wi-Fi transmit power setting provides the fl exibility to control the Wi-Fi Transmit power to optimize the wireless
range. Wi-Fi power consumption for a router or gateway could be reduced by up to 75% of its peak power consumption for
serving a small to medium size home, while boosted to maximum power for large homes and businesses.
Wake on LAN
Allows the device to be turned on or woken up by a network message.
