Convention

The switch or TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D mentioned in this User Guide stands for TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D 5/8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch without any explanation.

Note:
The two devices of TL-SG1005D and TL-SG1008D are sharing this User Guide. For simplicity, we will take TL-SG1008D for example throughout this Guide.

The differences between them are:

• TL-SG1005D switch with 5 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports.
• TL-SG1008D switch with 8 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports.

Introduction of the Product

Overview of the Product

Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet Technology, TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D Gigabit Desktop Switch provides the seamless network connection, which can speed up your old network to 1000Mbps, ensuring the graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications with bandwidth-intensive files transferred across the network almost instantly.

The non-blocking switching architecture adopted in the TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch greatly improves network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between subnets by forwarding and filtering packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput.

The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch is plug-and-play. In addition, the Auto-MDI/MDIX cable detection on all ports eliminates the demand of 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, a switch or a PC, 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.

The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch adopts Green Ethernet technology, supports power saving features. The switch automatically powers down the ports that have no link or are connected to the computers which have been shut down, budgets power output for different Ethernet cable lengths.

• Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for Full-duplex Mode and backpressure for Half-duplex Mode
• Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput
• 4K entry MAC address table of TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D with auto-learning and auto-aging
• Supports for Jumbo frames of up to 9KB
• LED indicators for monitoring power, link, speed and activity
• External power adapter supply

Identifying External Components

Front Panel

See Figure 2-1.

The switch's LEDs are located on the front panel:

• Power LED: This indicator will light up when the switch powers up.
• LEDs (1~8): The LED indicates Link/Active status. The corresponding LED indicator will light solid green when connected to a network device. It flashes green when data is being transmitted or received on the working connection.

Note:
The LEDs' description above explains the device's working status after initialization.

Rear Panel

See Figure 2-2

The following parts are located on the rear panel.

• POWER: The POWER socket is where you will connect the power adapter. Please use the power adapter provided with this TLSG1008D switch.
• Port (1-8): The TL-SG1008D switch is equipped with 8 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Sensing RJ45 ports where you will connect your network devices. The working status can be indicated by the corresponding LEDs on the front panel.

Installation

The switch can be either located on a desktop or mounted on a wall.

Mounting the Unit on a Desk

To locate the switch on a desktop, please follow these steps:

1. Place the switch on a flat desk.
2. Inspect the Power Adapter carefully and make sure that it is properly connected to a power source.
3. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the switch for dissipating heat and air.

Note:
Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the switch.
To ensure the stable cable connection, please keep the switch horizontal on the desktop, with white cover facing up.

Mounting the Unit on a Wall

There are two wall-mounting slots on the bottom panel of the switch. To mount the switch on a wall, please follow the steps below.

1. Drill two holes into the wall. Insert a screw into each hole and leave a part of its head exposed.
2. Place the two wall-mounting slots over the screws and slide the switch down to fasten it.
   

Power On

Power on the switch and it will automatically initialize and its LED indicators will respond as follows:

Note:
If the LED indicators don't respond as described above, please check the power supply and its connection.

Specifications

Troubleshooting

1. The Power LED is not lit

Check to see if the AC power cord is connected to the switch properly, and make sure the power source is ON.

2. The Link/Act LED is not lit when a device is connected to the corresponding port
   Check to see if the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device, and verify the connected device is turned on and working well. Make sure the cable is not longer than 100 meters (328 feet).
