Chapter 1: Introduction of the Product
This chapter describes the features of the TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016/TL-
SG1024 8/16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
1.1 Overview of the product
The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 8/16/24-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-SG1008/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-SG1008/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
detect and correct problems on the network.
