Because you need all the features of a high end switch, but not the complexity,
we made smart switches smarter.
D-Link’s Smart III Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switching range (DES-1210 & DGS-1210) provides all the features typically found in higher-end switches, but without the added complexity or extra cost. We understand that getting the right switch for an SMB environment is about combining a suitably rich feature set with genuine ease of use – which is precisely what the D-Link Smart III series delivers.
With plug & play configuration, setting up the switch is simple and intuitive. Ongoing management of the switch, for example adding new users and optimizing applications and services such as voice, is automated in many ways, while essential maintenance such as firmware upgrades should be a simple point and click exercise.
So make the smart choice with Smart III.
