Chapter 1. Introduction of the Product

Thank you for choosing the TL-SF1008P 8-Port 10/100Mbps
Desktop PoE Switch.

1.1 Overview of the Product

The TL-SF1008P 8-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop PoE Switch
provides the seamless network connection, which integrates
100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network
capabilities.
This PoE Switch is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*).
Four of the eight Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports (port-1~port-4) on
the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which
can automatically detect and supply power with those IEEE

802.3af-complaint powered devices (PDs*).

1

*PSE: a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE

setup.

*PoE: This technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along

with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an
Ethernet network.

*PD: a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples

include powering IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, network
cameras, network hubs, embedded computers etc.

1.2 Convention

The Switch or TL-SF1008P mentioned in this User Guide stands
for TL-SF1008P 8-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop PoE Switch
without any explanation.

1.3 Features

¾ Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3af

standards

¾ 8 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports with 4-port PoE

function (port-1~port-4), all of them support Auto-MDI/MDIX

¾ Supports PoE power up to 15.4W for each PoE port

¾ Supports PoE power up to 53W for PoE ports

¾ Supports PoE IEEE802.3af compliant PDs

¾ Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for Full-duplex Mode and

backpressure for Half-duplex Mode

¾ 1K entry MAC address table of the TL-SF1008P with auto-

learning and auto-aging

2

¾ LED indicators for monitoring power, link, activity and speed

¾ External power adapter supply

Chapter 2. Installation

During the installation procedure, please only use the

accessories equipped with the switch.

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 insert the power adapter carefully to the power

socket of the switch, and then connect it properly to a power

source through the cable of the switch.

3) Ensure adequate ventilation space around the switch for

dissipating heat and air.

Note

1) Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the switch.

2) Make sure the power is off before unplugging the power

adapter.

3

2.2 Power On

The TL-SF1008P Switch can be used with DC power supply.

Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED

indicators will respond as follows:

1) All the LED indicators except PoE ports LED will light syn-

chronously at first, then all of them included Link/Act LED

(green), 100Mbps LED (green) and PoE MAX LED (red), will

light off at once, 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.

Chapter 3. Identifying External Components

This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indi-

cators of the Switch.

There is a PoE PD connected to
the port, which supply power
successfully.

The PoE power circuit may be in
short, or the power current may
be over that of the PD’s
classification.

No PD connected to the
corresponding port，or no power
is supplied according to the
power limits of the port.

The power of all the connected
PoE ports is >=53w.

The power of all the connected
PoE ports is >=43w. No power
may be supplied if additional PDs
are connected.

The power of all the connected
PoE ports is <43w, or there is No
PD connected to the
corresponding port.

Note

If all PoE PDs power consumption is >= 53w, a priority* will be

arranged among the PoE ports like port-1 > port-2 > port-3 >

port-4, then the system will cut off the power of the

lowest-priority port.

There is a 100Mbps device
connected to the corresponding
port.

There is a 10Mbps device
connected to the corresponding
port, or there is no device
connected to the corresponding
port.

*Priority: This function will help protect the system when the system power is

overloaded. For example, Port 1, 2 and 4 is using 15.4w (maximum
power for per port is 15.4W), the system power is 46.2w in total. If
there is an additional PD inserted to Port 3 with 10w, then the system
will cut off the power of Port 4 because of the overloaded power, this
means Port 1, 2 will use 15.4w, and Port3 will use 10w ,no power
will be supplied to Port 4.

3.2 Rear Panel

The following parts are located on the rear panel:

¾ Power (48V): 48V indicates the input voltage of the power

adapter provided with this TL-SF1008P Switch. The Power

socket is where you will connect the power adapter.

¾ PoE Ports (1-4): These ports support PoE function which

integrates power and data onto one the same cable. Once the

device you connect to the switch is identified, the switch will

supply power through the PoE port, and then you can use it

as a 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 Ethernet port. The

working status can be indicated by the corresponding LEDs

on the front panel.

¾ Ethernet Ports (1-8): Besides the 4 PoE ports, the

TL-SF1008P Switch is also equipped with the other four

10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports without PoE

function. Once the network devices are connected to these 8

ports through the network cable, the switch will make them

plug and play according to the Auto-MDI/MDIX detection. The

working status can be indicated by the corresponding LEDs

on the front panel.

Note

Make sure the PDs you connected to the switch are complaint

with IEEE 802.3af.
