The communicator model DES-1008D in most cases is used in the implementation of various computer networks of economy class. For such an application, it has sufficient technical parameters and reasonable cost. It is to this network device that this small review will be devoted.
Options and purpose
The delivery list of the D-Link communicator model DES-1008D includes the following basic elements:
- Router
- A brief guide to operating and setting up the system.
- Power Supply.
- Standard warranty card with obligations from the manufacturer.
It is most optimal to use such a device in the implementation of budget class computer networks. Also, in some cases, it can also be used as part of a mid-range LAN. In the latter situation, such an uncontrolled communicator allows you to create a small fragment of a larger computer network. It is for such use that the device in question is intended.
Specification and Customization
The DES-1008D switch is equipped with 8 ports. Each of them can transmit information at speeds up to 100 Mbit / s, but only if twisted pair is used, which belongs to category 5. If this condition is not met, then the speed will automatically decrease to 10 Mbit / s. The maximum possible number of connected PCs to this router does not exceed seven system units. In this case, one of the ports is used for switching with the global web.
The setup procedure for this network device consists of the following steps:
- Unpacking.
- Installation at the place of operation.
- Supply of all communication wires and their connection.
- Turn on the network device.
At the same time, there is no need to implement software settings. In this case, the communicator is supplied as a finished device. That is, at the software level it is configured.
Reviews and cost
In most cases, users and specialists respond very positively to the DES-1008D wired router. It has an extremely high degree of reliability, an acceptable level of functionality and an affordable cost. In addition, PoE technology is supported in this network node. That is, it can be used when switching IP-telephony devices. In addition, the power consumption of such a communicator is at an extremely low level.
Its only conditional minus is the lack of software configuration. But the manufacturer himself attributes this device to a series of non-configurable ones. That is, the potential owner already knows the capabilities of such a router before the purchase, and this is no longer attributable to its shortcomings.
At the moment, you can buy such a communicator for 4,500 - 5,000 rubles. This is a very low cost for a router of this class.
Conclusion
As part of this review, the DES-1008D router was reviewed. It is an affordable and yet reliable device. It is most optimally used for the implementation of entry-level computer networks.
