Installation Guidelines
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, attach the included rubber feet to the bottom at each corner of the device's base. Ensure adequate ventilation space between the device and surrounding objects.

Installing the Switch in a Standard 19" Rack
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19" (1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets. Fasten the mounting brackets to the sides of the switch using the screws provided. Then, fasten the brackets in any available open space in the rack.

Installing Transceivers into the Transceiver Ports
The switch is equipped with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) and SFP+ ports, which support connecting SFP, WDM SFP, and SFP+ transceivers.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows a transceiver being inserted into an SFP+ port on the front panel of the D-Link DGS-3620-28PC switch. A magnified view highlights the port and the transceiver connection.
Connecting to Power
Power On (AC Power)
Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power socket of the switch and the other end into a local power source outlet.
Power Failure (AC Power)
In the event of a power failure, unplug the power cord from the switch as a precaution. After power is restored, plug the power cord back into the switch's power socket.
Connecting to a Redundant Power Supply
The DPS-700 is connected to the Master Switch using a 22-pin DC power cable. A standard, three-pronged AC power cable connects the redundant power supply to the main power source.
Connection Steps:
- Disconnect the switch from the main AC power source.
- Insert one end of the 22-pin DC power cable into the switch's port and the other end into the RPS.
- Using a standard AC power cord, connect the RPS to the main AC power source. A green LED on the front panel of the RPS will illuminate to indicate a successful connection.
- Reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power port of the switch. The RPS LED indicator on the front panel of the switch will show that an RPS is present and operational.
No software configuration is needed for this installation.
[CAUTION]: Do not connect the DPS-700 to the switch using the 14-pin DC power cable, as this may cause damage. Only use the 22-pin DC power cable.
[CAUTION]: Do not connect the RPS to AC power before the DC power cable is connected, as this might damage the internal power supply.
Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the connection of the DPS-700 Redundant Power Supply. It shows the RPS unit with its AC input and DC output ports, and the switch with its DC input port. Arrows indicate the connection path using the 22-pin DC cable and a standard AC power cable to the wall outlet.
Switch Connections
Switch to End Node
An end node is a generic term for edge networking devices like Personal Computers (PCs), Notebooks, Access Points, Print Servers, VoIP Phones, and more. An end node connects to the switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of the 1000Base-T ports of the switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each Ethernet port turn green or orange when the link is active. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.
[NOTE]: All high-performance N-Way Ethernet ports support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows various end devices (PC, laptop, access point, VoIP phone) connected to the D-Link DGS-3620-28PC switch via Ethernet cables to the front panel ports.
Switch to Switch
Connections can be made flexibly using appropriate cabling:
- 10Base-T switch ports connect to the switch using Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP cables.
- 100Base-TX switch ports connect to the switch using Category 5 UTP/STP cables.
- 1000Base-T switch ports connect to the switch using Category 5e UTP/STP cables.
- SFP ports connect to the switch using SFP, WDM SFP, SFP+ transceivers, and fiber-optic cables.
Diagram Description: An illustration depicts multiple D-Link DGS-3620-28PC switches interconnected. It shows connections using Ethernet cables between switches and also connections to an optical network or server via SFP ports.
Connect to a Network Backbone or Server
The 1000Base-T SFP ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone, server, or server farm.

Management Options
Web-based Management Interface
After installation, the switch can be configured, its LED panel monitored, and statistics displayed graphically using a web browser such as Firefox (version 3.0 and higher) or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and higher).
SNMP-based Management
The switch can be managed using any SNMP-compatible console program. The switch supports SNMP versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
A computer can be connected to the serial console port to access the switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all switch management features. Alternatively, the switch can be managed in-band using a Telnet connection.
Connecting the Console Port
To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:
- A terminal or a computer with an RS-232 serial port capable of emulating a terminal.
- A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This cable should be included with the switch.
Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:
- Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
- Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
- Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
- Set flow control to none.
In the Properties settings, select VT100 for Emulation mode. For Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys, select Terminal keys. Ensure that Windows keys are not selected. After correctly setting up the terminal, plug the power cord into the power receptacle on the back of the switch. The boot sequence will appear in the terminal. Upon completion of the boot sequence, the console login screen will display.
Connecting to the Switch for the First Time
Upon initial connection to the switch, the login screen appears.
Diagram Description: A screenshot shows the command-line interface login prompt for the DGS-3620-28PC Gigabit Ethernet Switch, displaying firmware version and copyright information.
Default Login:
Leave the Username and Password fields blank and press Enter. This will grant access to enter commands after the prompt: DGS-3620-28PC:admin#
[NOTE]: The first user automatically receives Administrator-level privileges. It is recommended to create at least one Administrator-level user account for the switch.
Connecting to the Management Port
The management port (MGMT) on the front panel is used to connect to a computer via a standard Ethernet cable. This port provides access to the switch via Telnet or a web browser. The default IP address for the MGMT port is 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Ensure that the computer used for management has a non-conflicting IP address within the 192.168.0.x subnet.
The IP settings or enabled status of the MGMT port can be changed through the console port. Use the following command to configure the MGMT port:
config out_band_ipif {ipaddress <network_address> | state [enable | disable] | gateway <ipaddr>}
Use the following command to view the status or IP settings of the MGMT port:
show out_band_ipif
To change settings for the out-of-band Management port in the web interface, navigate to: Management > Out of Band Management Settings.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To access the Web User Interface, open a standard web browser and enter the switch's IP address in the address bar. To access the Web UI from normal LAN ports, an IP address must first be configured for this interface. The PC must have an IP address in the same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch's IP address is 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0-254 and z is a number between 1-254) and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Enter the default IP address (10.90.90.90) in the browser's address bar and press Enter.
Diagram Description: A Windows Security dialog box appears, requesting a username and password for the server connection, with a warning about sending credentials insecurely.
