Product Overview
The TL-SG105E/TL-SG108E/TL-SG116E Unmanaged Pro Switch is an ideal upgrade from
an unmanaged switch, designed for Small Office and Home Office networks. The switch
supports the following features:
Traffic monitoring: Port mirroring, loop prevention and cable test enable the
administrator to monitor traffic of the network effectively.
VLAN: MTU VLAN, Port based VLAN and 802.1Q VLAN can restrict broadcast domain,
enhance network security and help manage devices easily.
QoS: Port based QoS, 802.1P based QoS and DSCP based QoS optimize traffic on
your business network, and keep latency-sensitive traffic moving smoothly. Bandwidth
control helps distribute and utilize network bandwidth reasonably. Storm control helps
avoid network broadcast storm.

Logging Into the Switch
To configure your switch through a web browser on your PC, follow these steps:
1) Connect your switch to the network and connect your PC to the switch.
2) Find out the IP address of the switch.
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can find 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.
3) Configure 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 the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, configure your PC’s
IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as
255.255.255.0.
4) Launch a web browser on your PC. The supported web browsers include, but are not
limited to, the following types:
IE 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0
Firefox 26.0, 27.0
Chrome 32.0, 33.0
5) In the address bar of the web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. Here we
suppose the switch uses the static IP address 192.168.0.1.
Figure 3-1 Entering the IP Addresss of the Switch in the Browser
6) Enter the username and password in the pop-up login window. Enter admin for both
username and password in lower case letters.
