SFP Port

Designed to install the SFP module. The Switch features some SFP transceiver

slots that are shared with the associated RJ45 ports. The associated two ports are

referred as a “Combo” port, which means they cannot be used simultaneously,

otherwise only SFP port works.

Console Port

Designed to connect with the serial port of a computer or terminal for monitoring

and configuring the Switch.

Note: When using the SFP port with a 100Mbps module or a gigabit module, you

need log on to the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the Switch and configure its

corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on Switching→Port→Port Cong page. For

100Mbps module, please select 100MFD while select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By

default, the Speed and Duplex mode of SFP port is 1000MFD.

The Switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground

the Switch through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable.

For detailed information, please refer to Chapter 3 Lightning Protection.

Power Socket

Connect the female connector of the power cord here, and the male connector to

the AC power outlet. Please make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the

requirement of the input voltage (100-240V~ 50/60Hz).

Caution: Please use the provided power cord.

To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please 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 the vent hole is well ventilated and unblocked.

■

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.

Site Requirements

■

To ensure normal operation and long service life of the device, please install it in an

environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsection.

Temperature/Humidity

Installation

L2 Managed Switch

Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low

humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes

and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials

and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature

and humidity of the device, please check the following table.

Environment Temperature Humidity

Operating 0℃~ 40℃10% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing

Storage -40℃~ 70℃5% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing

Clearness

L2 Managed Switch

TL-SL3428

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

L2 Managed Switch

TL-SL3428

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, strong-current devices, such as radio

■

transmitting station.

Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

■

Lightening Protection

L2 Managed Switch

TL-SL3428

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
