L2 Managed Switch
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed Switch, designed for workgroups and departments,
provides wire-speed performance and abundant layer 2 management features. It
provides a variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security.
The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible
solutions for a variable scale of networks. ACL, 802.1x and Dynamic ARP Inspection
provide robust security strategies. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and
video application. Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing
the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/CLI/Telnet Log-in bring
abundant management policies. TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed Switch integrates
multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can
fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.
TL-SG3424P Managed PoE Switch is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). All
the Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports on the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE*)
function, which can automatically detect and supply power with those powered devices
(PDs*) complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.
*PSE: a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE setup.
*PoE: This technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data,
to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet.
*PD: a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include
powering IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, network cameras, network hubs,
embedded computers etc.

TL-SG3424P has an LED mode switch button which is for switching the LED
status indication. When the Speed LED is on, the port LED is indicating the data
transmission rate. When the PoE LED is on, the port LED is indicating the power
supply status. By default the Speed LED is on. Pressing the mode switch button, the
Speed LED will turn off and the PoE LED will light up. Then the PoE LED will turn off
after being on for 60 seconds and the Speed LED will light up again.
When the Speed LED is on, the port LED is indicating the data transmission rate.

Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or
1000Mbps. Each has a corresponding 1000Mbps LED.
Console Port
Designed to connect with the serial port of a computer or terminal for monitoring
and configuring the switch.
SFP Port
Designed to install the SFP module. TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424/TL-SG3424P switch
features some SFP transceiver slots that are shared with the associated RJ45 ports.
The associated two ports are referred as a “Combo”port, which means they cannot
be used simultaneously, otherwise only SFP port works. TL-SG3210 features two
individual SFP ports.
Note: For TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424/TL-SG3424P, when using the SFP port with a
100M module or a gigabit module, you need log on to the GUI (Graphical User
Interface) of the switch and congure its corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on
Switching→Port→Port Cong page. For 100M module, please select 100MFD while
select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed and Duplex mode of SFP port
is 1000MFD. TL-SG3210 supports 1000M SFP module connection only.
