Chapter 1 Introduction of the Product
This chapter describes the features of the TL-SG1016/
TL-SG1024 16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
1.1 Overview of the Product
The TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
provides you with a high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use,
seamless and standard upgrade to boost your old network to
1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server and
backbone connections make Gigabit a reality. Power users in
the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment
can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer
graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications
that have to move large files across the network almost instantly.
The TP-LINK TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 features a non-blocking
switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full
wire-speed for maximum throughput, MAC address auto-
learning and auto-aging, IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex
mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode. It is compatible
with all 10,100 and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is
standard-based. It protects your existing network investments
while providing you with a straightforward migration path to
faster Gigabit speeds.
The TP-LINK TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 is plug-and-play and no
configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all
ports eliminate the need for crossover cable or Uplink port. Each
port can be used as general ports or Uplink ports, and any port
can be simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or a switch,
using the straight cable or crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs
which display link status and activity, allowing you to quickly
2
detect and correct problems on the network.
1.2 Features
¾Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab
standards
¾16/24 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Sense RJ45 ports supporting
Auto-MDI/MDIX
¾All ports Support Full/Half Duplex transfer mode for
10/100Mbps and Full Duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps
¾Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode and
backpressure for half-duplex transfer mode
¾Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters
packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput
¾Supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging
¾LED indicators for monitoring power, link, speed and activity
¾Rack-mountable steel case
¾Internal power supply
Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk
Before place the Switch on a desk, attach four rubber footpads
to the flutes on the Switch bottom, then lay the Switch on the
desktop, where can be have as much as 5kg placed on top.
Note:
1. The electrical outlet shall be installed near the device and
shall be easily accessible.
2. Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air.
3. Make sure not to place anything too heavy on top of the switch.

2.2 Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The dimension of TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 is designed according
to the standard 19 rack-mountable steel case of Electronic
Industries Association.
Turn off all the equipment connected to the Switch before
mounting it in the rack, then rivet the two "L" brackets onto each
side of the Switch, fasten it with screws in the rack.
Figure 2-1 Rivet the “L” brackets onto the Switch
Figure 2-2 Fasten the Switch in the rack

2.3 Power On
TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is
powered by AC power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will
automatically initialize and its LED indicators should respond as
follows:
1）All of the Link/Act and 1000Mbps LED indicators will flash
momentarily for one second, which represent a resetting of
the system.
2）The Power indicator will light up.
If the LED indicators don't respond as described above, please
check the power supply and connection.
Chapter 3 Identifying External Components
This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED
indicators of the Switch. TL-SG1016 and TL-SG1024 just differ
in the number of LED indicators and ports and all figures in this
guide are of TL-SG1024.
3.1 Front Panel
The front panel of the TL-SG1024 consists of switch LED
indicators, 24 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports.
Figure 3-1 TL-SG1024 Switch Front Panel sketch
3.2 Rear Panel
The rear panel of the TL-SG1024 only features a power
receptacle, which is an AC power receptacle. Connect the
female of the power cord head here, and the male head to the
5
AC power outlet.

3.3 LED Indicators
The LED indicators include Power, Link/Act and 1000Mbps LED
indicators, which are used for monitoring and pre-
troubleshooting of the Switch. The following section shows the
LED indicators for the switch along with an explanation of each
indicator.
Figure 3-3 TL-SG1024 Switch LEDs sketch
¾Power LED: This indicator will light solid red when the
Switch powers up. If the LED is not lit, please check the
power supply and connection.
¾Link/Act LED: This indicator will light solid green when the
corresponding port is connected to another device and will
flash green when data is being transmitted or received on
the working connection.
¾1000Mbps LED: This indicator will light solid green when the
corresponding port is connected to a 1000Mbps device.
