The D-Link DES-5224TX is a high performance 24-port 10/100Mb Ethernet/Fast Ethernet NWay auto-negotiation modular Switch with SNMP/RMON web-based management, and optional Gigabit up-link connections and ISDN Router. It is designed to provide maximum departmental network performance that is scaleable 10/100/1000Mb connectivity with 5Gbps total bandwidth. The DES-5224TX is targeted at workgroup, departmental computing environments in medium to large businesses.

Auto-Negotiation

The DES-5224TX provides 24 dedicated NWay auto-negotiation connections. Each connection automatically identifies and determines the correct transmission speed and duplex mode of the attached device on each port. This feature eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves congestion on critical network paths.

Faster Data Handling

The DES-5224TX provides a dynamic buffer allocation that employs network-load balancing for faster data handling. The DES-5224TX allows a choice of either standard store-and-forward or user selectable Cut-through architecture to ensure low latency and high data integrity. In addition to the SNMP support, the DES-5224TX features an embedded RMON agent to support enhanced traffic management and analysis, and a port configurable VLAN support to provide broadcast protection. Web-based management provides the ability to completely manage the awitch from any web browser.

Gigabit: 1000 Mbps Speed

The DES-5224TX can be expanded to Gigabit speeds with the DES-5008 Gigabit Module.
