Gigabit L2 Managed Switch
Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
TP-Link JetStream Gigabit 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
and CLI Log-in bring abundant management policies. TP-Link JetStream Gigabit 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.
T2500G-10MPS L2 Managed PoE+ Switch is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*).
All the 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 provides power through an Ethernet
cable.
*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 network cameras, wireless LAN access points, IP telephones, network
hubs, embedded computers etc.

LEDs
T250 0 G -10 M PS 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 status. 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
status.
