Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ is TP-Link’s JetStream Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch, supporting
up to 4 SFP+ slots. T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ is ideal for large businesses, campuses or SMB
networks requiring an outstanding, reliable and affordable 10 Gigabit solution.
T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ supports stacking of up to 8 units, thus providing flexible scalability
and protective redundancy for your networks. Moreover, aiming to better protect your network,
T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ’s main power is removable. With the help of TP-Link’s RPS,
administrators can easily change its main power if it encounters some problems without shutting
down the switch, thus enabling your network to really enjoy the benefit of uninterrupted operation.
Supporting advanced features such as OSPF, VRRP, IGMP and PIM DM/SM, T3700G-28TQ can fully
implement resilient scalable networks, and T2700G-28TQ can be upgraded with the addition of a
layer 3 license to provide these layer 3 routing features as well.
Note:
Obtain the T2700G-28TQ Layer 3 License T2700G-28TQ-L1000 via the following steps
■
Buy a license key from a TP-Link authorized distributor.
■
Go to T2700G-28TQ page on TP-Link website, use the license key together with the switch S/N
and the MAC address for authentication to download the license T2700G-28TQ-L1000.

SFP Port
Port 21F-24F, designed to install the SFP transceiver. These four SFP transceiver slots are shared
with the associated RJ45 ports. The associated two ports are referred as a “Combo” port, which
means they cannot be used simultaneously, otherwise only RJ45 port works. The SFP ports
support 1000M SFP module connection only.
SFP+ Port
Port 25-26, designed to install the 10Gbps SFP+ transceiver or SFP+ cables. T3700G-28TQ also
provides an interface card slot on the rear panel to install the expansion card (TX432 of TP-Link
for example). If TX432 is installed, you get another two 10Gbps SFP+ ports.
Unit ID LED
Designed to display the stack Unit ID of the switch. For the switch that does not join any stack
system, it displays its default Unit ID. To modify the default unit number, please logon to the GUI
of the switch and go to Stack→Stack Management→Switch Renumber page.

Designed to extend the interfaces. You can select a TP-Link Interface Card (TX432 for example)
for your switch if needed. For how to install an Interface Card, please refer to 3.4 Installing &
Removing the Interface Card.
Grounding Terminal
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground the switch
through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable. For detailed information,
please refer to Chapter 4 Lightning Protection.
RPS Input Connector
Designed to connect the RPS (Redundant Power Supply). You can selected an RPS of TP-Link
(RPS150 for example) for your switch if needed. For how to install an RPS, please refer to 5.6

Power Supply Module
The AC Power Supply Module PSM150-AC is installled in the switch. The malfunctioned PSM150AC can be replaced with a TP-Link power supply module of the same model. Its input voltage is
100-240V~ 50/60Hz.
The AC Power Supply Module is fully hot swappable, helping to ensure no system interruption
during installation or replacement. For how to install/remove the Power Supply Module, please
refer to 3.3 Installing & Removing the Power Supply Module.
Caution:
Please use the provided power cord.
With all the protective covers removed and the Interface Card (TX432 for example) inserted, the rear

2.2 Safety Precautions
To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please observe the following
rules.
■
Safety Precautions
■
Keep the power off during the installation.
■
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good skin contact and
is well grounded.
■
Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
■
Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rear panel of the
switch.
■
Ensure the vent hole is well ventilated and unblocked.
■
Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.
■
Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish cloth, and never
use any other liquid cleaning method.

JetStream Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch
Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low humidity may
lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes and corrosions. Too high
temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials and can thus significantly shorten
the ser vice life of the device. For normal temperature and humidity of the device, please check the
following table.

Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact
of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity,
but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal
circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the Switch, please attach
much importance to the following items:
■
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■
Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by
external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, please make sure to take the following
measures:
■
Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
■
Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio transmitting station.
■
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the
electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000℃. As this instant current is strong
07Installation
JetStream Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch
enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be
taken.
■
Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.
■
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
■
Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
■
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
Note:
For detailed lightning protection measures, please refer to Chapter 3 Lightning Protection.
Installation Site
When installing the device on a rack or a flat workbench, please note the following items:
■
The rack or workbench is flat and stable, and sturdy enough to support the weight of 5.5kg at least.
■
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment room is well ventilated.
■
The rack is well grounded. Keep the power socket less than 1.5 meters away from the device.
2.3 Installation Tools

Cables
Note:
These tools are not provided with our product. If needed, please self purchase them.
2.4 Installation & Connection Flow
The switch provides two interfaces to install the swappable Power Supply Module and Interface
Card, and one interface to connect to Redundant Power Supply. The switch has already been
installed with a Power Supply Module PSM150-AC, and you can also self-purchase the Interface
Card/Redundant Power Supply if needed.
