Unmanaged PoE+ Switch
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
TL-SL1218P, 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.

Introduction
Extend Mode switch 1–8 and 9–16 can control the rate and power supply distance of
corresponding ports.
Off: The corresponding ports (1–8/9–16) run at 10/100 Mbps and support PoE power
supply up to 100 m away.
On: The corresponding ports (1–8/9 –16) run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up
to 250 m away.
Off: All the ports transmit data with the same priority.
On: Por t 1–8 transmit data with a higher priority than Port 9–18. When congestion occurs,
packets which are transmitted by the ports with a higher priority occupy the whole
bandwidth.
Off: Port 1–16 can transmit data with every port.
On: Port 1–16 cannot transmit data with each other. They can transmit data only with port
17–18 .
