Chapter 1 Introduction of the Product
This chapter describes the features of the TL-SL1210 / TL-SL1117 / TL-SL1226 /
TL-SL1351 Gigabit Switch. TL-SL1210, TL-SL1117, TL-SL1226 and TL-SL1351
just differ in the number of LED indicators and ports, and all figures in this user
guide are of TL-SL1351.
1.1 Overview of the product
The TL-SL1210/TL-SL1117/TL-SL1226/TL-SL1351 Gigabit Switch provides you
with a high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use, seamless and standard upgrade
to boost your old network to 1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server
and backbone connections, make Gigabit connection to a server or uplink a
network necessarily.
The TP-LINK TL-SL1210/TL-SL1117/TL-SL1226/TL-SL1351 features a non-
blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed
for maximum throughput. MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging, IEEE802.3x
flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for Half Duplex mode. It is
compatible with all 10,100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is
standard-based.
The TL-SL1210/TL-SL1117/TL-SL1226/TL-SL1351 is plug-and-play and no
configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDIX cable detection on all ports eliminate the
need for crossover cable or Uplink port. Each port can be used as general ports or

2
Uplink ports, 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, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the
network.
1.2 Features
¾Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab, IEEE802.3z (for TL-
SL1351 only) standards
¾8/16/24/48 10/100Mbps Auto-Sense RJ45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX
¾2/1/2/2 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Sense RJ45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX
¾1 SFP(Small Form Pluggable) module interface (For TL-SL1351 only)
¾Supports Auto MDI / MDIX cable detection on all ports eliminate the need for
crossover cable or Uplink port
¾Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full
wire -speed for maximum throughput
¾Supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging
¾Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex model and backpressure for
half-duplex transfer model
¾LED indicators for monitoring power, link, activity, speed
¾Internal power supply
Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk
Before place the Switch on a desk, attach four rubber footpads to the flutes on the
Switch bottom, then lay the Switch on the desktop, where can be have as much as
5kg placed on top.
Note:
Make sure there is a grounded AC outlet within 1.5 meters, and working well.
Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air. Make sure not to place
anything too heavy on top of the switch.

2.2 Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The dimension of TL-SL1210/TL-SL1117/TL-SL1226/TL-SL1351 is designed
according to the standard 19'' rack- mountable steel case of Electronic Industries
Association.
Turn off all the equipment connected to the Switch before mounting it in the rack,
then rivet the two “L” brackets onto each side of the Switch, fasten it with screws in
the rack.
Note:
For TL-SL1210, the “L” brackets will differ in size.
Figure 2-1 Rivet the ‘L’brackets onto the Switch
Figure 2-2 Fasten the Switch in the rack

2.3 Mounting the SFP Module (for TL-SL1351 Only)
The front panel of the TL-SL1351 consists of a SFP module, which support The
Hot Plug- And- Draw. Should fixed the SFP into SFP pluggable when use the SFP
module. The switch could identify and configure the SFP module automatically.
2.4 Power on
TL-SL1210/TL-SL1117/TL-SL1226/TL-SL1351 Gigabit Switch is powered by AC
power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED
indicators should respond as follows:
1) All of the LED indicators will flash momentarily for one second, which
represents a resetting of the system.
2) The power LED indicator will remain ON.
Chapter 3 Identifying External Components
This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the
Switch (here takes TL-SL1351 for example).
3.1 Front Panel
The front panel of TL-SL1351 consists of switch LED indicators, 48 10/100Mbps
RJ-45 ports, 2 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports and 1 SFP module.
Note:
The SFP module is only for TL-SL3151.
Figure 3-1 TL-SL1351 Switch Front Panel sketch
The LED indicators include Power, Link/Act, 1000Mbps and 100Mbps LED
indicators, which are used for monitoring and pre-troubleshooting of the Switch.
The following section explains the status of LED indicators for the Switch along
with an explanation of each indicator.
¾Power LED: This indicator will light solid red when the Switch powers up. If
the LED is not lit, please check the power supply and connection.

5
¾1000M LED: The corresponding gigabit port LED indicator will light solid
green when the gigabit port connected to a 1000Mbps device. It flashes green
when data is being transmitted or received on the working connection.
¾100M LED: The corresponding 100M port LED indicator will light solid green
when the 10/100M port connected to a 100Mbps device. It flashes green
when data is being transmitted or received on the working connection.
¾Link/Act LED: This indicator will light solid green when the corresponding
port is connected correctly. It flashes green when data is being transmitted or
received on the working connection.
3.2 Rear Panel
The rear panel of the TL-SL1351 features a power receptacle, which is an AC
power receptacle. Connect the female of the power cord head here, and the male
head to the AC power outlet.
