2.6 Device Hardware Interfaces
2.6.1 RJ-45 Base-T Fast Ethernet Ports
RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port,


11
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 or 100 or 1000
Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports
support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin
RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto
Uplink. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables. When inserting a cable into the switch’s
RJ-45 port, the switch automatically:
Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal”
connection (such as when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink”
connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink
technology compensates for setting uplink connections, while eliminating
concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when
attaching devices.
2.6.2 SFP Port
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as
the TL-SM311LM or TL-SM311LS from TP-LINK, allowing ber connections
on the network.
The SFP GBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module. Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Optical Transceivers are integrated duplex data
links for bi-directional communication over multimode optical ber, designed
for high-speed Fibre Channel data links. The SFP port is designated as
1000Base-FX.

Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
2.6.3 RS-232 DB-9 Console Port
The DB-9 port is an asynchronous serial console port supporting the RS-232
electrical specification. The port is used to connect the device to a console
managing the device. This interface conguration is as follows:
Eight data bits.
One stop bit.
No parity.
Baud rate is 38400 (default). Possible values of baud rate are 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400.
2.7 Cable, Port, and Pinout Information
This section describes the devices physical interfaces and provides
information about cable connections. Stations are connected to the device
ports through the physical interface ports on the front panel. For each station,
the appropriate mode (Half/Full Duplex, Auto) is set.
2.7.1 Pin Explain For RJ-45 Connector
The switching port can connect to stations wired in standard RJ-45 Ethernet
station mode using straight cables. Transmission devices connected to each
other use crossed cables. The following gure illustrates the pin allocation:
