1.0 Introduction

TPE-80WS Web Smart PoE Switch is a high performance web-smart switch that provides up to 8
10/100/1000Mbps copper Ethernet ports, this device provides a great flexibility for nowadays
variety of network application but at lower cost. User doesn't have to learn many sophisticated
management function which are usually shown in SNMP switch but just to learn some simple or
common control or setting function through either out-of-band RS232 port or Ethernet port,
however, some new, advanced and important function such as Tag-VLAN, Trunking, RSTP and
IGMP are also supported same as SNMP switch, this means, user doesn't have to pay high cost
as tradition layer 2 SNMP switch does while he still can get advanced or common function to
meet requirement of general network application. This makes it very suitable for small or
medium size company to build up simple network at beginning phase with lower cost. Besides, a
optional long-ear accessory also makes it possible to operate in the rack mount environment.
Non-blocking and maximum wire speed performance are designed on all switched ports, it not
only supports auto-negotiation but also AUTO-MDIX function on all switched 8 10/100/1000M
RJ-45 Gigabit copper ports no matter running with half or full duplex mode, these function make
user easy to use and reduce the matching effort between straight and cross-over line issues.
TPE-80WS Web Smart PoE Switch supports both port-based and 802.1Q (tag-based) VLAN to
catch-up the application needed in incoming VLAN age. To increase bandwidth application, it
supports up to 4 trunk groups with maximum 8 ports on one Trunk, moreover, these trunk ports
are with fair-over function to provide redundant back-up when one or some of trunk ports
malfunction. Moreover, to reduced convergent time of STP protocol, Rapid STP (RSTP ) is
supported, to support multicast application IGMP is also supported. ,
Fully LED status display ease user's installation, a reset button is also provided to make user
easy to go back to default setting.
