Surveillance VLAN & Bandwidth Control The DGS-1100 Series supports Surveillance VLAN, which is best suited for video surveillance deployment. Surveillance VLAN is a new, industry-leading technology that consolidates data & surveillance video transmission through a single DGS-1100 switch, thus sparing businesses the expense of dedicated hardware & facilities. Surveillance VLAN also ensures the quality of real-time video for monitoring & control without compromising the transmission of conventional network data. In addition, with Bandwidth Control, network administrators can reserve bandwidth for important functions that require more bandwidth or might have high priority. Easy to deploy The DGS-1100 Easy Smart Switches support an intuitive Smart Console utility & a web-based management interface that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The Smart Console allows customers to discover multiple D-Link Smart & Easy Smart Switches within the same L2 network segment. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC, & this also makes initial setup of the Smart Switches quick & easy. Switches within the same L2 network segment that are connected to the user′s PC are displayed on-screen for instant access. This allows for extensive switch configuration & basic setup of discovered devices, including password changes & firmware upgrades.
