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.

For Port 17–18/17F –18F:
Green On: Running at 1000Mbps but no activity.
Green Flashing: Running at 1000Mbps and is transmitting or receiving data.
Yel low On : Running at 10/100Mbps but no activity.
Yellow Flashing: Running at 10/100Mbps and is transmitting or receiving data.
Off: No device is linked to the corresponding port.
On: The por t is connecting to a PD and supplying power for it.
Flashing: The PoE power circuit may be in short or the power current may be overloaded.
Off: No PD is connected to the corresponding por t, or no power is supplied according to
the power limits of the port.
On: Total power supply ≥ 185W.
Flashing: Total power supply ≥ 185W and last for more than 2 minutes.
Off: Total power supply ≤ 185W.
Switches
Switch Indication
Off: Port 1–16 run at 10/100 Mbps and suppor t PoE power supply up to 100m away.
Extend Mode
Priority Mode
On (Por t1–8): Port 1–8 run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250m away.
On (Por t1–16): Por t 1–16 run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250m away.
Off: All the ports transmit data in the same priority.
On: Por t 1–8 transmit data in a higher priority than Port 9–18. When congestion occurs,
packets which are transmitted by the ports with higher priority occupy the whole
bandwidth.
10/100Mbps RJ45 Port (Port 1–16)
The ports are designed to connect to devices with a bandwidth of 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The ports can
provide power and transmit data for PDs. The maximum PoE power is 30W for each PoE port and 192W
for all the PoE ports. The ports can also connect to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port (Port 17–18)
The ports are designed to connect to devices with a bandwidth of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps.
SFP Port (Port 17F–18F)
The ports are designed to install the SFP module. An SFP Port (Port 17F–18F) and the associated
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port (Port 17–18) are called a “Combo” port, which means they cannot be used
simultaneously; otherwise, only the SFP port works.
