Unmanaged/Easy Smart Rackmountable Switches
Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Unmanaged/Easy Smart Switch provides you with a low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance,
seamless, and standard upgrade to improve your network to 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
DS1018GMP is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). The 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports 1–16 on
DS1018GMP support the Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can automatically detect and
supply power to those powered devices (PDs*) complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.
Note:
■*PSE is a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE setup.
■*PoE is a technology that describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to
remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network.
■*PD is 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, and so on.

LED Indication
Power
PWR
On: The switch is powered on.
Off: The switch is powered off or power supply is abnormal.
Flashing: Power supply is abnormal/Loop Prevention function is enabled.
Note: PWR for DS1018GMP; Power for other models.
1000Mbps
On: Running at 1000 Mbps.
Off: Running at 10/100 Mbps or no device is linked to the corresponding port.
Note: Except for DS1018GMP.
Link/Act
On: A device is linked to the corresponding port and running properly.
Flashing: Transmitting or receiving data.
Off: No device is linked to the corresponding port.
Note: Except for DS1018GMP.
Green On: Running at 1000 Mbps but no activity.
Green Flashing: Running at 1000 Mbps and transmitting or receiving data.
Yellow on: Running at 100/10 Mbps but no activity.
Yellow Flashing: Running at 100/10 Mbps and transmitting or receiving data.
Off: No device is linked to the corresponding port.
Note: Only for ports 1–18 of DS1018GMP. Ports 17F–18F of DS1018GMP only support
1000M SFP module connection, and they just have Green On/Green Flashing/Off LED
indications.
PoE Status
On: The port is connecting and supplying power to a PD.
Flashing: The PoE power circuit may be in short or the power current may be overloaded
or non-standard PD is connected or the amount of power of the port has exceeded the
power limit.
Off: No PD is connected to the corresponding port or no power is supplied according to
the power limits of the port.
Note: Only for DS1018GMP.
FAN
Green: The fan works properly.
Yellow: The fan doesn’t work properly.
Note: Only for DS1018GMP.

Introduction
Switch Explanation
Switch Indication
Priority
(For DS1018GMP)
Off: All the ports transmit data with the same priority.
On: The specific ports transmit data with a higher priority than other ports.
Isolation
(For DS1016G/
DS1024G/DS1018GMP)
Off: Ports can transmit data with each other.
On: Specific ports cannot transmit data with other downlink ports. They can transmit
data only with the uplink ports.
Extend
(For DS1018GMP)
Off: Ports run at 10/100/1000 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 100 m away.
On: Ports run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250 m away.
Recovery
(For DS1018GMP)
Off: The PoE Auto Recovery function is disabled.
On: The switch will constantly detect the working status of a PoE powered device (PD).
When the switch finds that the PD works abnormally, the switch will reboot it.
Loop Prevention
(For DS1016G/
DS1024G)
Off: (default) The switch will not try to monitor or address loop-related issues.
On: The switch will monitor and address loop-related issues within the network
structure to prevent disruptions caused by redundant pathing.
Note:
The numbers in the brackets indicate the ports where the feature takes eect. For example,
when Extend(1-4) is toggled to On, the Extend mode will be enabled for ports 1-4.
Reset
Press this button for ve seconds or above to reset the switch back to factory default settings.
Note:
Only DS1016GE/DS1024GE has a Reset button.
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port
Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. For
DS1018GMP, port 1–16 can provide power for PDs.
SFP Port
Designed to install the SFP module. DS1018GMP has 2 SFP ports which support 1000 Mbps SFP
module connection. An SFP Port (port 17F/port 18F) and the associated 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45
Port (port 17/port 18) are called a “Combo” port, which means they cannnot be used simultaneously.

Grounding Terminal
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground the switch through
the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable. For detailed information, refer to the
Lightning Protection Guide from the Related Documents of our website:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/conguration-guides/lightning_protection_guide.
Power Socket
Plug the female connector of the power cord directly into the power socket and plug the male connector
into an AC outlet. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input
voltage (100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz).
Caution:
You should use the provided power cord.
