Unmanaged/Easy Smart Rackmountable Switches
Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Unmanaged/Easy Smart Switch provides you with a low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance,
seamless, and standard upgrade to improve your network to 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
TL-SG1008MP/TL-SG1016PE/TL-SG1218MP/TL-SG1218MPE/TL-SG1428PE is also a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE*). The RJ45 port 1–8 on TL-SG1008MP and TL-SG1016PE, 10/100/1000 Mbps
RJ45 port 1–16 on TL-SG1218MP and TL-SG1218MPE, and 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port 1–24 on
TL-SG1428PE support the Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can automatically detect and
supply power to those powered devices (PDs*) complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.
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, and so on.

Introduction
Switch Explanation
Switch Indication
Priority
(For TL-SG1218MP)
Off: All the ports transmit data with the same priority.
On: The specific ports transmit data with a higher priority than other ports.
Isolation
(For TL-SG1218MP/TL-
SG1016/TL-SG1016D/TL-
SG1024/ T L-SG10 24D / TL-
SG1024S)
Off: Ports can transmit data with each other.
On: Specific ports cannot transmit data with other downlink ports. They can transmit
data only with the uplink ports.
Extend
(For TL-SG1008MP/TL-
SG1218MP)
Off: Ports run at 10/100/1000 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 100 m away.
On: Ports run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250 m away.
Recovery
(For TL-SG1008MP/TL-
SG1218MP)

SG1016D/TL-SG1024/TL-
SG1024D/TL-SG1024S)
Off: (default) The switch will not try to monitor or address loop-related issues.
On: The switch will monitor and address loop-related issues within the network
structure to prevent disruptions caused by redundant pathing.
Note: The numbers in brackets indicate the ports where the feature takes effect. For
example, when Extend(1-4) is toggled to On, the Extend mode will be enabled for ports 1-4.
Reset
Press this button for ve seconds or above to reset the switch back to factory default settings.
Note: Only TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1016PE/TL-SG1024DE/TL-SG1218MPE/TL-SG1428PE has a
Reset button.
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port
Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. For
TL-SG1008MP and TL-SG1016PE, port 1–8 can provide power for PDs. For TL-SG1218MP and
TL-SG1218MPE, port 1–16 can provide power for PDs. For TL-SG1428PE, port 1–24 can provide power
for PDs.
10/100Mbps RJ45 Port
Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
SFP Port
Designed to install the SFP module. TL-SG1218MP/TL-SG1218MPE/TL-SG1428PE has 2 SFP ports
which support 1000 Mbps SFP module connection. For TL-SG1218MP and TL-SG1218MPE, an SFP
Port (port 17F/port 18F) and the associated 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Port (port 17/port 18) are called
a “Combo” port, which means they cannnot be used simultaneously.
