TP-LINK Gigabit Smart Switch, designed for workgroups and departments, provides

wire-speed performance and abundant layer 2 management features. It provides a

variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security.

The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible

solutions for a variable scale of networks. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize

voice and video application. Link aggregation(LACP) increase aggregated bandwidth,

optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/CLI/Telnet Log-

in bring abundant management policies. TP-LINK Gigabit Smart Switch integrates

multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can

fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.

Grounding Terminal

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 (Alternating Current) power outlet. Please make sure the voltage of the

power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage.

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



Temperature/Humidity

ȭ

ȭ

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

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

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.



Installation

Gigabit Smart Switch

Lightning Protection

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 protection measures

should be taken.

Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.



Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.



Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.



Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.



Note: For detailed lightning protection measures, please refer to Chapter 3

Lightning Protection.

Installation Site

S

When installing the device on a rack or a flat workbench, please note the following

items:

The rack or workbench is flat and stable, and sturdy enough to support the weight



of 5.5kg at least.

The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment room is well



ventilated.

The rack is well grounded. Keep the power socket less than 1.5 meters away from



the device.
