Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Overview of the product The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D 5/8-port Gigabit Ethernet 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, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality. Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications that have to move large files across the network almost instantly. The TP-LINK TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D 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, it protects your existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds. The TP-LINK TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D is plug-and-play and no configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cable or Uplink port. Each port can be used as general ports or 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 Ø Fully Complies with IEEE802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards Ø 5/8 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports supporting Auto- MDI/MDIX Ø Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for Half Duplex mode Ø Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput Ø Supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging Ø LED indicators for monitoring power, link, activity Ø Plastic case, desktop or wall-mounting design Ø External power adapter supply Chapter 2: Installation 2.1 Installation To install the Switch, please follow these steps: 1. You can place the Switch on a flat table or a vertical wall if you wish to hang it. 2. Please inspect the Power Adapter carefully and make sure that it is properly connected to a power source. 3. Be sure to leave enough space for heat dissipation and good ventilation in the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. 2.2 Power on After the Switch powers up, it will be automatically initialized and the LED indicators should respond as follows: 1) All of the Link/Act LED indicators will flash momentarily, which represent a resetting of the system. 2) The Power LED indicator will light up. Chapter 3: Identifying External Components This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch. The sketches of the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators are very similar to the TL-SG1005D and TL-SG1008D models. The following sketches are for TLSG1008D. 3.1 Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of several LED indicators.
