Gigabit Unmanaged Switch
01Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Gigabit Unmanaged Switch provides you with a high-performance, low-cost, easy-
to-use, seamless and standard upgrade to boost your old network to 1000Mbps. By
increasing the speed of your network server and backbone connections, the Gigabit
Unmanaged Switch makes Gigabit a reality. Power users in the home, office, workgroup,
or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files
faster. Graphics, CGI, CAD, multimedia files and other large files moved by some
applications can be transferred across the network almost instantly.
The Gigabit Unmanaged Switch features a non-blocking switching architecture that
forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. The switch
supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging. It is compatible with all 10Mbps,
100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is standard-based. It protects
your existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration
path to faster Gigabit speed.
The Gigabit Unmanaged Switch is plug-and-play and no configuration is required.
Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cable
or Uplink port. Each port can be used as general port or Uplink port, and any port can
be simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable or
crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allow you to
quickly detect and correct problems on the network.
TL-SG1008MP is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). The 8 Auto-Negotiation RJ45
ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can automatically detect and
supply power with those IEEE802.3af/IEEE802.3at-compliant powered devices (PDs*).
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 etc.

10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port and PoE Port
TL-SG1008MP switch is equipped with 8 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45
ports and all of them support PoE function.
The 8 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports are designed to connect to the device with
a bandwidth of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. 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 Link/Act LEDs and 1000Mbps LEDs on the front panel.

Gigabit Unmanaged Switch
06 Introduction
The 8 ports also 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 use it as a
10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 Ethernet port. The working status can be
indicated by the PoE MAX LED and PoE Status LEDs on the front panel.
Note:
■Make sure the PDs you connected to the switch are compliant with
IEEE802.3af/IEEE802.3at standard.
■If all PoE PDs power consumption is ≥126W, a priority* will be arranged among
the PoE ports like port 1 > port 2 > port 3 > port 4 > port 5 > port 6 > port 7 >
port 8, then the system will cut off the power of the lowest-priority port.
■*Priority is to protect the system when the system power is overloaded. For
example, Port 1, 2, 4 and 7 is using 30; the system power is 120W in total. If
there is an additional PD inserted to Port 3 with 25W, and then the system will
cut off the power of Port 7 because of the overloaded power, this means Port 1,
2 and 4 will use 30W, and Port 3 will use 25W, no power will be supplied to Port 7.
