Chapter 1 Product Introduction This chapter describes the features of the TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch. 1.1 Product Overview The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch provides you with a highperformance, 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 a reality. Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidthintensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications that have to move large files across the network almost instantly. The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch 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 TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch 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 ¾ Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab standards ¾ 8/16/24 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Sense RJ45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX ¾ All ports Support Full/Half Duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and Full Duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps ¾ Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex transfer mode ¾ Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput ¾ Supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging ¾ LED indicators for monitoring power, link, speed and activity ¾ Desktop and rack-mountable steel case ¾ Internal power supply 2
