With 12 SFP slots, the DGS-3612G provides a full fibre environment for long distance Ethernet infrastructure. It is particularly suitable for ISPs in their Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) deployments. In addition, four 1000Base-T copper ports acting as combo with 4 of the SFP slots are included for flexibility.

With D-Link Single IP Management (SIM) technology, up to 32 switch units -regardless of the model- may be combined in a virtual stack. Multiple switches can be configured, monitored and maintained from any workstation running a web browser via a single IP address. The stack is managed as a single object, as all stacked units are identified by this single IP address. A simple yet powerful web-based interface allows the administrator to perform most management and configuration tasks.

The DGS-3612G includes advanced routing features, such as OSPF v2, Passive Interface, Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA), Equal Cost Route and RIP. Multicast services such as IP-TV and Video on Demand (VoD) are supported with the inclusion of protocols such as IGMP, MLD and PIM. With Double VLAN (802.1Q-in-Q) support, ISPs can create Layer2 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and transparent LANs for their customers.

A complete set of security features is provided for connectivity and access control. These include Access Control Lists (ACLs) based on MAC address, switch port, IP address and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. 802.1X Authentication and MAC address control functionality is furthermore featured. The switch also provides central management for administration access via TACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS. In addition, when implemented in conjunction with a D-Link NetDefend firewall, this switch is able to automatically quarantine any host displaying abnormal behaviour. This mechanism, D-Link's ZoneDefense, provides proactive network security by preventing viruses from spreading through the network and thwarting harmful network attacks.

The DGS-3612G switch provides VLAN support including GARP/GVRP, 802.1Q and Guest VLAN to enhance network security and performance. The Guest VLAN feature assigns the user to a "Guest VLAN" dynamically if the user does not login on the RADIUS server. If authentication is successful the user will be assigned to the VLAN that is associated with the login information. The switch implements a robust set of multi-layer (L2, L3, L4) QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services like VoIP, ERP, Intranet and video conference are prioritized. Bandwidth control allows administrators to set traffic limits on each port, ensuring a committed level of service for end users. For advanced applications, per-flow bandwidth control allows easy fine-tuning of service types based on specific IP addresses or protocols.

In addition, a unique feature, D-Link Safeguard Engine, allows administrators to configure thresholds that limit the impact of packet flooding to the switches CPU typically caused by virus/worm outbreaks. This increases the switch's reliability, serviceability and availability.

The JVC DLA-HD1 is a full HD front projector with a native contrast ratio of 15, 000: 1, a level that ensures outstanding black reproduction without sacrificing picture brightness since there is no iris mechanism.

The high native contrast ratio is achieved through the combined use of a new 0.7-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) D-ILA device and a new optical engine. Like all D-ILA-based JVC front projectors and rear projection televisions, the DLA-HD1 uses three D-ILA devices - one each for red, green and blue color reproduction.

It offers a 2x zoom lens, a lens shift mechanism, and front fan intake and exhaust for placement flexibility, so its use is not limited to a dedicated home theater room. In addition, the ultra high pressure mercury lamp is easily accessible from a side panel.

The range and image quality makes this the lens professionals and advanced enthusiasts will use most with Nikon DX Format digital SLR cameras for shooting portraits and close-ups, as well as nature studies. It also complements the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED lens in Nikon's expanding DX Nikkor lens lineup.

Nikon established yet stricter evaluation standards for the new lens, and it achieves greater picture resolution as a result. The newly developed optical system employed includes three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that minimize chromatic aberration and three aspherical lenses that minimize distortion.

Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast, quiet autofocus. And the nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening provides a rich, natural look to out-of-focus elements.

With its useful wide range and high quality performance, this compact, lightweight lens will help win a warm place for the Nikon DX format in the hearts of Digital SLR users.
