3.3 Note
The surface on which the switch is placed should be adequately secured
to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded.
Ensure that the power cable, extension cable, and/or plug is not damaged.
Ensure that the switch is not exposed to water.
Ensure that the switch is not exposed to radiators and/or heat sources.
Do not push foreign objects into the switch, as it may cause a fire or
electric shock.
Allow the switch to cool before removing covers or touching internal

Chapter 4: Function Description
This section presents the network concepts referred in switch function
description.
4.1 System Setting
System setting contains the following topics: displaying and configuring the
switch information, upgrading rmware, backuping and loading conguration,
rebooting and soft-resetting, conguring username and password.
4.1.1 System Information
The system information contains a hardware version, software version, system
description, system name, system location, contact information and run time.
4.1.2 File Transfer
The TL-SG2216WEB/TL-SG2224WEB Web-Smart Switch Family is equipped
with a configuration backup function, configuration loading and system
upgrading.
The configuration file and executive file are transferred in TFTP protocol.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is dedicated to transferring les between
two network stations. It’s based on UDP protocol.
4.1.3 Reboot & Reset
The “Reset” indicates “Soft-reset” here. Soft-resetting restores the switch
conguration to default except the switch IP address.

Web Smart Gigabit Switch Family User's Guide
TL-SG2216WEB/TL-SG2224WEB
4.1.4 User
The username and password can be modied in order to exclude illegal users.
4.2 Port Setting
4.2.1 Port Parameter
4.2.1.1 Duplex Mode
Ports have duplex modes, 10M HD, 10M FD, 100M HD, 100M FD and 1000M
FD.
The First part indicates the transmission rate and the second part indicates the
duplex mode.
HD: half-duplex, the port supports transmission between the device and
the client in only one direction at a time.
FD: full-duplex, the port supports transmission between the device and its
link partner in both directions simultaneously.
Switch support auto negotiation, it’s a protocol between two link partners
that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate and duplex mode to its
partner.
4.2.1.2 Flow Control
Flow control enables lower speed devices to communicate with higher speed
devices. This is implemented by the higher speed device refraining from
sending packets.
4.2.1.3 Port Security
If the port security is enabled, it will not learn new MAC address and only



13
Web Smart Gigabit Switch Family User's Guide
TL-SG2216WEB/TL-SG2224WEB
transmit the frames from the MAC address list in the port’s static MAC address
table.
4.2.2 Port Statistic and Port Status
Port Statistic calculates the statistics of each port, such as how many frames,
error frames, broadcast frames it has received, and so on.
Port Status indicates whether the port is linkup, linkdown or disabled, what
speed and duplex mode it is working on, and whether ow control is enabled
or disabled.
4.2.3 Storm Control
Storm control limits the amount of multicast, broadcast and UL (addresses
that have not been learned) frames accepted and forwarded by the device.
When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, broadcast, multicast and UL frames are
ooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. This occupies bandwidth, and loads
all nodes on all ports.
A Storm is a result of an excessive amount of these frames simultaneously
transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses
are heaped onto the network, straining network resources or causing the
network to time out. Storm control is enabled for all ports by defining the
packet type and the rate at which the packets are transmitted. The system
measures the incoming dened frame rates on each port, and discards the
frames when the rate exceeds a user-dened rate.
4.2.4 Port Description
Use a description word to indicate the port.
