Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1Product 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.

		Off: No device is linked to the corresponding port.
	Link/Act	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.
		Yellow 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 port is connecting to a PD and supplying power for it.
	PoE Status	Flashing: The PoE power circuit may be in short or the power current may be overloaded.
	PoE Status	Off: No PD is connected to the corresponding port, or no power is supplied according to

		the power limits of the port.
	PoE Max	On: Total power supply ≥ 185W.
	PoE Max	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 support PoE power supply up to 100m away. Extend Mode On (Port1–8): Port 1–8 run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250m away.

On (Port1–16): Port 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.

Priority Mode On: Port 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 RJ45Port (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.
