Chapter 1 Product Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D
Switch.
1.1 Product Overview
The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D 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, of
fi
ce,
workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-
intensive
fi
les faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia
fi
les and other
applications that have to move large
fi
les across the network almost instantly.
The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch 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
fl
ow 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 TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch 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.
