Chapter 1 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.

Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 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
¾Make sure there is a grounded AC outlet within 1.5 meters, and working
well.
¾Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air.
¾Make 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.

2.3 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
