Features
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+ is a high performance switch designed
specifically for environments where traffic on the network and the
number of users increase continuously.
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+, with its small, compact size, was
specifically designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-
1008D/ DSS-8+ can be installed where space is limited; moreover,
it provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through
a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+ is ideal for deployment with multiple high-
speed servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth
workgroups. With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-
duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-
free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+ is scalable, allowing two or more DES-
1008D/ DSS-8+s to be cascaded together. Since all ports support
200Mbps, any one of its eight ports may be used to cascade to an
additional switch to open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+ is the perfect choice for a department or
office planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-1008D/ DSS-
8+ can accommodate 10Mbps or 100Mbps devices, providing a
flexible solution for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups.
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+ combines dynamic memory allocation
with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is
effectively allocated for each port; and it controls the data flow
between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against
possible packet loss.
The DES-1008D/ DSS-8+ is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast
Ethernet switch that offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth
needs of small Ethernet workgroups.
Other key features include:
 Store-and-forward switching scheme capability. As the result of
