Chapter 1 Introduction of the Product
Thank you for choosing the TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D 5/8-port
Gigabit Desktop Switch.
1.1 Overview of the Product
Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet Technology, TL-SG1005D/
TL-SG1008D Gigabit Desktop Switch provides the seamless
network connection, which can speed up your old network to
1000Mbps. The increased speed and backbone connections
make Gigabit a reality, which ensures the graphics, CGI, CAD,
or multimedia files and other applications with bandwidth-
intensive files transferred across the network almost instantly.
The non-blocking switching architecture adopted in the TL-
SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch greatly improves network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic
between subnets by forwarding and filtering packets at full wire-
speed for maximum throughput.
The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch is compatible with all
10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices, which can
protect your existing network investments while provide you a
straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speed.
The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch is very easy to manage
since it is plug-and-play and no configuration is needed. In
addition, the Auto-MDI/MDIX cable detection on all ports
eliminates the demand of 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, a switch or
a PC, 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.
The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch adopts Green Ethernet
technology, supports power saving features to help make your
network environmentally friendly without compromising
performance. The switch automatically powers down the ports
that are idle, budgets power output for different Ethernet cable
lengths.
1.2 Features
¾Supports Green Ethernet technology to implement power
saving features
¾Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab
standards
¾5/8 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Sensing RJ45 ports supporting
Auto-MDI/MDIX
¾Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for Full-duplex Mode and
backpressure for Half-duplex Mode
¾Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters
packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput
¾8K entry MAC address table of TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D
with auto-learning and auto-aging
¾Supports for Jumbo frames of up to 15KB
¾LED indicators for monitoring power, link and activity
