Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The 16/24-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch is an ideal upgrade from an unmanaged
switch, designed for Small and Medium Business networks that require simple network
management. Network administrators can effectively monitor traffic via Port Mirroring,
Loop Prevention and Cable Test features. To optimize traffic on your business network,
they offer both port and tag based QoS to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving
smoothly and jitter-free. Additionally, port-based, tag-based and MTU VLAN can
improve security and meet more network segmentation requirements. Moreover, with
the innovative energy-efficient technology, they are eco-friendly solution for your
business network.
TL-SG1016PE 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.
