Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
TP-LINK Gigabit Smart Switch, designed for workgroups and departments, provides
wire-speed performance and abundant L2 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. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize
voice and video application. Link aggregation increases aggregated bandwidth,
optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB and CLI Log-in
bring abundant management policies. TP-LINK Gigabit Smart 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.
T1700G-28TQ also supports stacking of up to 6 units, thus providing flexible scalability
and protective redundancy for your networks.

■Site Requirements
Temperature/Humidity

ȭ
ȭ
Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low
humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes
and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials
and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature
and humidity of the device, please check the following table.
Environment Temperature Humidity
Operating 0℃~ 40℃10% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing
Storage -40℃~ 70℃5% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing
Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result
in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the
device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly
damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of
static electricity on the operation of the switch, please attach much importance to the
following items:
■Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected
by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling,
inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, please
make sure to take the following measures:
■Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
■Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio
transmitting station.
■Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
