Introduction of the Product

This chapter describes the features of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch.

1.1

Overview of the Product

The Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides you with a high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use, seamless and standard upgrade to boost your old network to 1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality. Power users in the home, office, workgroup or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications that have to move large files across the network almost instantly. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch features a non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. It is compatible with all 10,100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is standard-based, it protects your existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch is plug-and-play and no configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cable or Uplink port. Each port can be used as general ports or Uplink ports, and any port can be simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable or crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.

Installation

Mounting the Switch on a Desk

Before placing the Switch on a desk, attach four rubber footpads to the flutes on the Switch bottom, then lay the Switch on the desktop, where can be able to withstand 5kg of weight. TL-SG1008, TL-SG1016, TL-SG1024 and TL-SG1048 are different in the number of LED indicators and RJ45 ports. All figures are of TL-SG1008 in this user's guide.

Note Make sure there is a grounded AC outlet within 1.5 meters, and working well. Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air. Make sure not too place anything to heavy on top of the switch.

2.2

Mounting the Switch in a Rack

The dimension of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch is designed according to the standard 19 rack-mountable steel case of Electronic Industries Association. Turn off all the equipment connected to the Switch before mounting it in the rack, then rivet the two L brackets onto each side of the Switch, fasten it with screws in the rack.

Power On

The Gigabit Ethernet Switch is powered by AC power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED indicators should respond as follows: 1) All of the 10/100Mbps Link/Act and 1000Mbps Link/Act LED indicators of the TL-SG1008 will flash momentarily at first, flash sequence later and flash momentarily lastly, which represent a resetting of the system. All of the 10/100Mbps Link/Act and 1000Mbps Link/Act LED indicators of the
