D-Link¿s DSS-5+ is a 5-port 10/100Mbps desktop switch that is an ideal choice for small workgroups. The DSS-5+ allows users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network for compatibility, convenience, and faster connection. Each port on the DSS-5+ supports automatic MDI/MDIX detection providing true 'plug and play' capability without the need for confusing crossover cables or crossover ports. With the media auto-sensing feature, plug in the network cable to the DSS-5+ directly without the need to worry if the end node is a NIC (Network Interface Card) or switch/hub. The DSS-5+ also supports flow control and auto-negotiation of half or full duplex transfer modes for each port. The DSS-5+ provides dynamic memory allocation for data flow control to guarantee against possible packet loss. The DSS-5+ uses fast store-and-forward switching to ensure low data latency and prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. The D-Link DSS-5+ is a powerful desktop Dual Speed 5-port 10/100Mb Ethernet/Fast Ethernet NWay auto-negotiating switch. It functionally eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves data congestion by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each of the five ports. An individual port can connect to either an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device. NWay auto-negotiation automatically determines the transmission speed of the attached device on each port. The DSS-5+ provides dynamic buffer allocation that employs network-load balancing for faster data handling. The uplink interface connection enables easy expansion. The DSS-5+ uses fast store-and-forward architecture to ensure low latency and high data integrity. It supports stacking through the MDI II uplink RJ-45 connection, which is shared with port 1 for flexible media connection and expansion capabilities.
