Chapter 1. Introduction of the Product
Thank you for choosing the TL-SF1008P 8-Port 10/100Mbps
Desktop PoE Switch.
1.1 Overview of the Product
The TL-SF1008P 8-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop PoE Switch
provides the seamless network connection, which integrates
100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network
capabilities.
This PoE Switch is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*).
Four of the eight Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports (port-1~port-4) on
the Switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which
can automatically detect and supply power with those IEEE
802.3af-complaint powered devices (PDs*).
*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 network.
*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.

Chapter 2. Installation
During the installation procedure, please only use the
accessories equipped with the Switch.
2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk
To install the Switch, please follow the steps:
1) Place the Switch on a flat desk.
2) Remove the adhesive backing papers from the rubber
cushions.
3) Turnover the Switch and attach the supplied four rubber
cushions to the recessed areas on the bottom at each
corner of the Switch.
Note
1) Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the Switch.
2) Make sure the power is off before unplugging the power
adapter.

2.2 Power On
The TL-SF1008P Switch can be used with DC power supply.
Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED
indicators will respond as follows:
1) Firstly, the Power LED indicator will light up.
2) Then, the 100Mbps and Link/Act LED indicators will flash
momentarily for one second, which represents a resetting of
the system.
Note
If the LED indicators don’t respond as described above, please
check the power supply and its connection.
Chapter 3. Identifying External Components
This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indi-
cators of the Switch.

Note
If all PoE PDs power consumption is >= 53W, a priority* will be
arranged among the PoE ports like port-1 = port-2 = port-3 >
port-4, then the system will cut off the power of the
lowest-priority port.

The following parts are located on the rear panel:
¾Power (48V): 48V indicates the input voltage of the power
adapter provided with this TL-SF1008P Switch. The Power
socket is where you will connect the power adapter.
¾PoE Ports (1-4): These ports support PoE function which
integrates power and data onto one Ethernet cable. Once
the device you connect to the Switch is identified, the Switch
will supply power through the PoE port, and then you can
*Priority: This function will help protect the system when the system
power is overloaded. For example, Port 1, 2 and 4 is using
15.4W (maximum power for per port is 15.4W); the system
power is 46.2W in total. If there is an additional PD inserted
to Port 3 with 10W, and then the system will cut off the
power of Port 4 because of the overloaded power, this means
Port 1, 2 will use 15.4W, and Port3 will use 10W, no power
will be supplied to Port 4.

use it as a 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 Ethernet
port. The working status can be indicated by the
corresponding LEDs on the front panel.
¾Ethernet Ports (1-8): Besides the 4 PoE ports, the
TL-SF1008P Switch is also equipped with the other four
10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports without PoE
function. Once the network devices are connected to these
8 ports through the network cable, the Switch will make
them plug and play according to the Auto-MDI/MDIX
detection. The working status can be indicated by the
corresponding LEDs on the front panel.
Note
Make sure the PDs you connected to the Switch are complaint
with IEEE 802.3af.
