01Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
Designed for workgroups and departments, TP-Link JetStream L2/L2+ Managed Switch provides
wire-speed performance and abundant L2 management features. It provides a variety of service
features and multiple powerful functions with high security.
The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible solutions
for a variable scale of networks. ACL, 802.1x and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide robust security
strategies. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video application. Link aggregation
(LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP,
RMON, WEB and CLI Log-in bring abundant management policies. TP-Link JetStream L2/L2+
Managed Switch integrates multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage,
which can fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.
TL-SX3206HPP/TL-SG3210XHP-M2/TL-SG3428MP/TL-SG3428XMP/TL-SG3452P/TL-SG3452XP
is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). All the RJ45 ports on the switch support 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.
*PSE: a device (switch or hub for instance) that provides power through an Ethernet cable.
*PoE: This technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote
devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet.
*PD: a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include powering network
cameras, wireless LAN access points, IP telephones, network hubs, embedded computers etc.

Grounding Terminal
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground the switch through
the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable. For detailed lightning protection
measures, go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch and go to
the product Support web page, refer to the Lightning Protection Guide from the Related Documents:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/conguration-guides/lightning_protection_guide/.
Power Socket
Connect the female connector of the power cord here, and the male connector to the AC power outlet.
Make sure that the voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage (100–240 V~
50/60 Hz).
Caution:
Please use the provided power cord.

2.2 Safety Precautions
To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, you should observe the
following rules.
■Safety Precautions
■Keep the power off during the installation.
■Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good skin contact and is
well grounded.
■Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
■Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rear panel of the
switch.
■Ensure that the switch is installed in a well-ventilated environment and its ventilation hole is not
blocked.
■Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.
■Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish cloth, and never
use any other liquid cleaning method.
■Place the device with its bottom surface downward.
■Site Requirements
Temperature/Humidity

JetStream L2/L2+ Managed Switch
13Installation
Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too
little humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes,
and corrosion. High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, significantly
shortening the service life of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions
for the device, check the Appendix B Specifications.
Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact
of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity,
but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal
circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much
importance to the following items:
■Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by external
interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and
impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:
■Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
■Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting
station.
■Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightning Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the
electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong
enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be
taken.
■Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed.
■Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.

JetStream L2/L2+ Managed Switch
