Conguration

The switch is plug and play. To congure the switch, you can use the Web-based GUI or the conguration utility.

The utility is only supported on Windows now.

Using the Web-based GUI

1. Find out the IP address of the switch.

By default, the switch receives an IP addess from a DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) in your network. You can nd out this IP address on the DHCP server.

If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the

static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

2. Congure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in the

same subnet.

If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.

If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, congure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as

255.255.255.0.

Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in the

3. address bar and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name and password.

Now you can congure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further information, refer to the User Guide.

Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch, and you can nd this guide on the product Support web page.

Note:

For certain devices, you may need to change the password the rst time you log in, which will better protect your network and devices.

If the switch gets a new IP address from the DHCP server, your

2. connection to the switch will be lost. Enter the new IP address in your browser to access the switch again

Ethernet Ports (1-8)

Internet

Router

LAN Port

1. TL-SG1210MPE has two uplink ports, which typically connect to uplink devices like routers.

Uplink 1 is an SFP port and works with a 1000 Mbps SFP module. Uplink 2 is an RJ45 port.

2. PoE ports can also connect to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.

3. For TL-SG105PE, maximum PoE power is 30 W for each PoE port and 65 W for all PoE ports in total. For TL-SG108PE, maximum PoE power is 30 W for each PoE port and 64 W for all PoE ports in total. For TL-SG1210MPE, maximum PoE power is 30 W for each PoE port and 123 W for all PoE ports in total.

WAN Port

Using the Conguration Utility

1. Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support and search the model number of your switch. Download the Easy Smart Conguration Utility from the product Support web page on your PC.

2. Decompress the downloaded le, run the

installation wizard and follow the prompts to install the Easy Smart Conguration Utility.

Double click the icon on the desktop, and the

utility Home page will display a list of TP-Link

switches on the local network.

Click to nd out IP parameters of the switch.

If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a

DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.

If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, congure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as

255.255.255.0.

Double click the switch that you want to congure. Log in with admin as both

5. user name and password.

Now you can congure the switch using the conguration utility. For further information, refer to the Easy Smart Conguration Utility User Guide.

Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your switch, and you can nd this guide on the product Support web page.

Q1. Why is the Power LED not lit?

The Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the Power

LED is not lit, please try the following:

A1: Make sure the power adapter is connected to the switch with power source

properly.

A2: Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the input

voltage of the switch.

A3: Make sure the power source is ON.

A4: On the LED On/O conguration page, check whether the LED status is on. By

default, the LED status is on.

Q2. Why is the Link/Act LED not lit while a device is connected to the corresponding port?

Please try the following:

A1: Make sure that the cable connectors are rmly plugged into the switch and the

device.

A2: Make sure the connected device is turned on and works normally.

A3: The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet). If Extend Mode is

enabled, it should be less than 250 meters (820 feet).

A4: On the LED On/O conguration page, check whether the LED status is on. By

default, the LED status is on.

Q3. Why is PoE/PoE+ Port not supplying power for PoE devices?

When the total power consumption of connected PoE devices exceeds the

maximum, the PoE port with a smaller port number has higher priority. The system will

cut o power to the ports with larger port numbers to ensure supplying to other ports.

Take TL-SG108PE as an example. Port 1, 2 and 4 are consuming 15.4 W respectively.

If an additional PoE device with 18 W is inserted to port 3, the system will cut o the

power of port 4 to compensate for the overload.
