Chapter 4 Connection

4.1 Ethernet Port

Connect the Ethernet ports of the switch to the network devices by RJ45 cable as the
following figure shows.

4.2 SFP Port

Connect the SFP port to a SFP module. For TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424/TL-SG3424P, if an
SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the
port, the associated RJ45 port will be disabled and cannot be used.
Note: For TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424/TL-SG3424P, when using the SFP port with a
100M module or a gigabit module, you need to log on to the GUI (Graphical User
Interface) of the switch and configure its corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on
Switching→Port→Port Config page. For 100M module, please select 100MFD while
select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed and Duplex mode of SFP port
is 1000MFD. TL-SG3210 supports 1000M SFP module connection only.
