Thank you for choosing the TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch. 1.1 Overview of the Product Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet Technology, the TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch provides the seamless network connection, which can speed up your old network to 1000Mbps. The increased speed and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality, which ensures 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-SG1008D 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-SG1008D switch is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices, which can protect your existing network investments while provide you a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speed. The TL-SG1008D switch is very easy to manage since it is plug-and-play and no configuration is needed. In addition, the auto MDI/MDI-X 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 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. 1.2 Convention The Switch or TL-SG1008D mentioned in this User Guide stands for TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch without any explanation. 1.3 Features ¾ Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab standards ¾ Eight 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negociation RJ45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX ¾ Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for Full-duplex Mode and backpressure for Half-duplex Mode ¾ Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput

¾ Support for Jumbo frames of up to 9728 Bytes ¾ LED indicators for monitoring power, link, speed and activity ¾ External power adapter supply Chapter 2. Installation 2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk To install the Switch, please follow the steps: 1) You can place the Switch on a flat desk. 2) Please 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. 2.2 Power On TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch can be used with AC power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED indicators will respond as follows: 1) All the 10/100Mbps and 1000Mbps Link/Act LED indicators will light simultaneously at first, then light in turn and the 10/100Mbps Link/Act LED indicators will light simultaneously again for the last time, which indicates the system initialized well. 2) The Power indicator will light all the time. ) Note: If the LED indicators don’t respond as described above, please check the power supply and its connection.
