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.

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 TL-
SG1008D.
