Unmanaged PoE/PoE+ Switch

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

TL-SL1218MP and TL-SL1226P are Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*) which require no configurations. The 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports on the switch 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.

2.2 Safety Precautions

To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, you should 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 that the switch is installed in a well-ventilated environment and its ventilation hole is not blocked.
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.
Place the device with its bottom surface downward.

Unmanaged PoE/PoE+ Switch
Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too little humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes, and corrosion. High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, significantly shortening the service life of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions for the device, check the following table.

5% to 90%RH Non-condensing
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 and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting station.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightning 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 enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken.
Ensure that the rack and device are well earthed.

Note:
The gure is to illustrate the application and principle. The provided plug and the socket in your region may dier from the gures above.
3.5 Initialization
After the device is powered on, it begins the Power-On Self-Test. A series of tests run automatically to ensure the device functions properly. During this time, the LED indicators will respond as follows:
1. The PWR LED indicator will light up and keep on.
2. After the initialization, the Link/Act LED indicator for 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and SFP ports will first turn green, then turn yellow and finally turn off again.
3. After the initialization, the other LED indicators will flash momentarily and then turn of f again.
Finally, all LED indicators will work normally.

Appendix A Troubleshooting

Q1. Why is the PWR LED not lit?
The PWR LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the PWR LED is not lit, check as follows:
A1: Make sure the switch is connected to the power source with the AC power cord 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.
Q2. Why is the Link/Act LED not lit when a device is connected to the corresponding port?
It is recommended that you check the following items:
A1: Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device.
A2: Make sure the connected device is turned on and working well.
Q3. Why are some ports not supplying power for PoE devices?
If total power consumption of connected PoE devices exceeds the maximum PoE power, the system will cut off the power to ports with larger serial numbers to compensate for the overload. Therefore, port 7–16 (TL-SL1218MP) and port 9–24 (TL-SL1226P) may not supply power for connected PoE devices.
For example, on TL-SL1218MP, port 1–5 and port 7 are consuming 30 W respectively. If an additional PoE device with 25 W is inserted to port 6, the system will cut off the power to port 7.
