If the worst should happen to your network you
need the very best support and fast. Downtime
costs your business money. D-Link Assist
maximises your uptime by solving technical
problems quickly and effectively. Our highly-
trained technicians are on standby around the
clock, ensuring that award-winning support is
only a phone call away.
With a choice of three affordable service offerings
covering all D-Link business products, you can
select the package that suits you best:
D-Link Assist Gold - for comprehensive
24-hour support
D-Link Assist Gold is perfect for mission-critical
environments where maximum uptime is a high
priority. It guarantees four hour around-the-clock
response. Cover applies 24/7 for every day of the
year including holidays.
D-Link Assist Silver - for prompt same-day
assistance
D-Link Assist Silver is designed for ‘high
availability’ businesses that require rapid response
within regular working hours. It provides a four
hour response service Monday to Friday from 8am
to 5pm, excluding holidays.
D-Link Assist Bronze - for guaranteed response
on the next business day
D-Link Assist Bronze is a highly cost-effective
support solution for less critical environments.
Response is guaranteed within eight business
hours Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm,
excluding holidays.
D-Link Assist can be purchased together with
any D-Link business product. So whether you’re
buying switching, wireless, storage, security or IP
Surveillance equipment from D-Link, your peace
of mind is guaranteed. D-Link Assist also offers
installation and configuration services to get your
new hardware working quickly and correctly.
Rapid Response Support
As a result, these voice and video packets
take precedence over other packets. In
addition, with Bandwidth Control, network
administrators can reserve bandwidth for
important functions that require more
bandwidth or might require high priority.
Secure your Network
D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine protects
the switches against traffic flooding caused
by virus attacks. The switches also support
802.1X port-based authentication, allowing
the network to be authenticated through
external RADIUS servers. In addition, the Access
Control List (ACL) feature enhances network
security and helps to protect the internal IT
network by screening traffic based on MAC
or IP addresses. The DGS-1500 Series includes
ARP Spoofing Prevention, which protects from
attacks on the Ethernet network that may allow
an intruder to sniff data frames, modify traffic,
or bring traffic to a halt altogether by sending
fake ARP messages to the network. To prevent
ARP Spoofing attacks, the switch uses Packet
Control ACLs to block invalid packets that
contain fake ARP messages. For added security,
the DHCP Server Screening feature screens
rogue DHCP server packets from user ports to
prevent unauthorised IP assignment.
Versatile Management
The DGS-1500 Series provides a SmartConsole
utility and a web-based management interface
that enables administrators to remotely
control their network down to the port level.
The SmartConsole easily allows customers to
discover multiple D-Link Web Smart Switches
within the same L2 network segment. With
this utility, users do not need to change the
IP address of their PC. It also simplifies the
initial setup of the Smart Switches. Switches
within the same L2 network segment that
are connected to the user’s PC are displayed
on screen for instant access. This allows
extensive switch configuration and basic setup
of discovered devices including password
changes and firmware upgrades. The DGS-1500
Series also supports D-View 6.0 and Compact
Command Line Interface (CLI) through Telnet.
D-View 6.0 is a Network Management System
that allows for the central management
of critical network characteristics such as
availability, reliability, resilience, and security.
CLI management of the switches is possible
via Telnet. This makes it possible to adjust basic
settings, passwords, configuration files, and
firmware with ease.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing
innovative and power-saving technology that
does not sacrifice operational performance or
functionality. The DGS-1500 Series implements
D-Link Green Technology, which includes a
power saving mode, smart fan, reduced heat
dissipation, and cable length detection. The
power-saving features include being able to
schedule when to turn off LEDs and ports when
not in use, and when to make the switch enter
hibernation mode. The switches can also detect
the length of connected cables to automatically
adjust power usage by saving energy on
shorter cable connections of up to 20 metres.
The switches can also support power-saving
by link status, which drastically reduces power
consumption by automatically toggling
ports without a link to sleep mode.
The DGS-1500-28P
1
and DGS-1500-52 both
feature built-in smart fans. Using a thermal
sensor that can detect temperature change, the
fans can react accordingly by utilising different
fan speeds for different temperatures. The
Smart Fan feature enables the built-in fans to
automatically turn on at a certain temperature,
providing continuous, reliable and eco-friendly
operation of the switch.
