solutions for a variable scale of networks. ACL, 802.1x and Dynamic ARP Inspection

provide robust security strategies. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and

video application. Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing

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

abundant management policies. TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed 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.

Introduction

L2 Managed Switch

Note: The port 25–28 of the switch are “Combo”ports. A “Combo”port consists of a

RJ45 port and an SFP port, and the two ports share the same LED.

10/100Mbps Port

Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10Mbps or 100Mbps. Each

has a corresponding 10/100M LED.

10/100/1000Mbps Port

Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or

1000Mbps. Each has a corresponding 1000M LED.

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.

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

ȭ

ȭ

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

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.

■

Lightening 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
