Product Description

D-Link's DES-3226 is a high-performance managed Layer 2 switch that provides an ideal solution for workgroups and departments. The DES-3226 has (24) 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports with support for optional Gigabit and 100FX modules for fast connection speeds and flexibility.Utilizing an 8.8Gbps switch fabric and support for 8, 000 MAC addresses, the DES-3226 is a wire-speed, high performance departmental switch. The DES-3226 supports port trunking with up to 8 trunk groups. Each trunk group can support up to (8) 10/100 links or (2) Gigabit links can be combined together to create a multi-link load-sharing connection. Port trunking enables business users to increase availability and aggregated bandwidth between servers and/or other switches, optimizing the transport of all your business critical data. By widely supporting IEEE approved specifications, the DES-3226 leverages your existing investment in a multi-vendor environment, while maximizing compatibility of mission critical features like, spanning tree (802.1d), QoS (802.1p/DiffServ), VLANs (802.1ac/802.1q) and network management (SNMP/RMON/ BOOTP/Telnet/Web). D-Link's DES-3226 robust support of standards based network management protocols (SNMP/RMON/ BOOTP/Telnet/Web) and port mirroring enables the DES-3226 to be easily integrated into many third-party network management packages. The DES-3226 brings advanced enterprise functions to a more affordable level while supporting advanced features: 802.1p, DiffServ, 802.1x, IGMP, and 802.1q. These features facilitate the deployment of applications across an enterprise such as: VOIP, streaming media, and multicast content delivery (IP video conferencing, software deployment?).

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars D-Link DES 3226 Managed Switch.......2005-12-16

If D-link considers this switch industrial grade they are sadly mistaken. Purchased this unit 1 year ago and it performed flawlessly 24x7 use in my data center. Now the unit burns out a power supply (internal) and is dead taking down our internet connection.

Anyone considering a robust, quality, built to last industrial/commercial grade switch better avoid this one!

D-link quality is terrible, nothing but junk as the are cheaply built in China and/or Taiwan. Avoid D-link.

                    Amazon.com Review

                    Panasonic's RQ-A200 is sized and styled like many little portables, with a sleek aluminum face and a plastic tape door around back. But that face conceals twin speakers that lie behind fine grilles and are ported at the base. The side of the unit offers a headphone jack and a small microphone, with a port for a stereo microphone (not included), volume control knob, and the tuning wheel for the AM/FM radio. Up top are the tape controls: buttons for record/play, stop, fast-forward, and rewind, with levers for pause as well as tape/radio select and normal/city sensitivity. The other side of the unit has a connection for a 3-volt AC adapter (sold separately) and another lever to choose between speakers, headphones, and enhanced headphone playback. A pair of AA batteries pops in behind the door on the bottom.

                    A convenient battery-level indicator--a string of red LEDs that run from F to E like a dashboard gas tank gauge--tells you when power is running low--a particularly useful feature when recording, lest you miss a crucial moment. The removable wrist strap lets you carry the recorder like the transistor radios of yore, and cassette playback can withstand fairly rigorous activity without incident. A pair of surprisingly tough, highly adjustable XBS (Extra Bass System) headphones is also included.

                    Once you accept that these are relatively small speakers designed to fit into a tight form factor, you will likely be surprised by their high output. Playing a professionally recorded tape at full volume, we had no trouble filling a 15-by-20-foot room with music at only minimal distortion. By using the three-position switch, you can opt between the speakers, the headphones, and the XBS mode for the headphones only. The faux bottom end did give the illusion of greater heft to the sound but also introduced a murky, synthetic quality.

                    Recorded voices demonstrated excellent spatiality even through the condenser mike--the results are especially noticeable through the headphones. Part dictating machine and part personal stereo, Panasonic's RQ-A200 is a harmonious fusion of business and pleasure in an easy-to-use unit.

                    4 out of 5 stars Practical but scarce........2002-06-23

                    (After using this little player/recorder on a daily basis, I'm raising my rating to 4 stars. It's light, rugged and, best of all, adequate to the task of accompanying my daily walks without requiring the use of headphones. Since this is no doubt the end of the line for stereo mini-cassette recorder/players by any manufacturer, I'd probably buy another just for back-up.)

                    Walkman-style players are a dime a dozen. So what attracted me to this particular model was its ability to record reasonably high quality live music in stereo. The unit is the same size as the one I'm replacing--an Aiwa--which costs about 40% more.

                    There are a few nice features on the Panasonic--the battery power indicator and built-in speakers that are actually usable--but not enough to atone for the loss of my Aiwa. The silvery face makes it less practical for "stealth" recordings, tuner sensitivity and selectivity are atrocious, it lacks auto reverse and, most significantly, despite the claims of stereo recording, Panasonic neither supplies a mini-stereo microphone nor offers a purchasable one. If you can find the Aiwa, pick it up for the extra 40%. Otherwise, a Sony mini-disc, though considerably more expensive, is probably your best bet.

                    5 out of 5 stars A Must Have Walkman.......2000-11-28

                    I just received the Panasonic RQ-A200 today November 27, 2000. Why do I say this is A Must Have Walkman because it records your voice, plus you can listen to your cassette tapes, the Am/Fm station is o.k. The reason why I say o.k. because it's a turner, not digital but it has Fm reception normal or city, so you can hear clear Fm radio station. But who cares because when you put the head phones on you get excellent sound out of the panasonic. When you switch to the speakers the entire room can hear clear music sounds coming out of this baby. Also it has a pause button so you can pause your cassette tape and come right back to it. Plus a little spot for you to put a stero mic. Head phones are included. One important thing you do have a stop button. So if you go forward or rewind you can stop the tape. To sum it up Panasonic has out done theirselves. You are silly not to have a walkman like this. The rest of the other walkmans are o.k. but will you get something that records your voice, plus listen to the radio, speakers without having your head phones on and excellent sound. So check it out, you can't go wrong with this Panasonic Walkman.
