Unmanaged/Easy Smart Rackmountable Switches

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1Product Overview

The Unmanaged/Easy Smart Switch provides you with a low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance, seamless, and standard upgrade to improve your network to 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.

TL-SG1008MP/TL-SG1016PE/TL-SG1218MP/TL-SG1218MPE/TL-SG1428PE is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). The RJ45 port 1–8 on TL-SG1008MP and TL-SG1016PE, 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port 1–16 on TL-SG1218MP and TL-SG1218MPE, and 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port 1–24 on TL-SG1428PE support the Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can automatically detect and supply power to those powered devices (PDs*) complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.

Note:

■■ *PSE is a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE setup.

■■

■■

*PoE is a technology that describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network.

*PD is 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, and so on.
