Installation Guide
JetStream 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch
Connection
AC Power Cord
DC Power Adapter
Note:
1. Port 8 is a PD (Powered Device) port that supports being powered by a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) which complies with LPS or PS2 standard and
802.3af/at standard.
2. The DC power input takes precedence over the PD port. If the DC input fails, the PoE input on the PD port will supply power instead.
Configuration
The switch supports two configuration methods:
Standalone Mode: Configure and manage the switch singly.
Controller Mode: Configure and manage the network devices centrally. It is recommended in the large-scale network, which consists of mass devices such as
access points, switches, and gateways.
Note: When the switch is changed from Standalone Mode to Controller Mode, configurations of the switch will be lost. For details, refer to the related documents on
the download center of our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/.
Method 1: Standalone Mode
In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the switch.

1. To access the management page of the switch, open a browser and type
the switch's IP address in the address field, then press the Enter key.
If the switch obtains IP address from the DHCP server (typically a router), find
the switch's IP address on the DHCP server.
If not, use the default IP address 192.168.0.1 to launch the switch's
management page.
Note: Make sure the switch and computer are in the same subnet.
2. Enter admin for both the username and password in the lower case letters
to log in. The first time you log in, change the password to better protect
your network and devices.
3. After a successful login, the main page will appear. You can click the menus
on the top side and left side to configure the corresponding functions.
