Safety Instructions
The DGS-3420 Series Hardware Installation Guide contains information for set up and management of the Switch. This
manual is intended for network managers familiar with network management concepts and terminology. For all practical
reasons all the switches in this series will be simply refered to as the Switch throughout this manual. All example
screenshots are taken from the DGS-3420-28SC Switch. In some examples, where we refer to the Power over Ethernet
examples, we’ll use the DGS-3420-28PC Switch.
