Connection

Configuration

The switch is plug-and-play. To configure the switch, you can use the Web- based GUI or the configuration utility.
The utility is only supported on Windows now.
Using the Web-based GUI

1. Find out the IP address of the switch.
   By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (typically a router with a DHCP function enabled) in your network. You can find out this IP address on the DHCP server.
   If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

2. Configure the IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in the same subnet.
   If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
   If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, configure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

3. Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar, and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name and password.

Now you can configure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further information, refer to the User Guide.
Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search for the model number of your switch, and you can find this guide on the product Support web page.
Note:

1. For certain devices, you may need to change the password the first time you log in, which will better protect your network and devices.

2. If the switch gets a new IP address from the DHCP server, your connection to the switch will be lost. Enter the new IP address in your browser to access the switch again.

3. Double-click the icon on the desktop, and the utility Home page will display a list of TP-Link switches on the local network.

4. Click to find out the IP parameters of the switch.
   If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
   If the switch uses 192.168.0.1 as the IP address, configure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

5. Double-click the switch that you want to configure. Log in with admin as both user name and password.

Now you can configure the switch using the configuration utility. For further information, refer to the Easy Smart Configuration Utility User Guide.
Go to https://www.tp-link.com/support , search for the model number of your switch, and you can find this guide on the product Support web page.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Why is the Power LED not lit?****

– The Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the Power LED is not lit, please try the following:
– A1: Make sure the power adapter is connected to the switch with the power source properly.
– A2: Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the input voltage of the switch.
– A3: Make sure the power source is ON.
– A4: On the LED On/Off configuration page, check whether the LED status is on. By default, the LED status is on.

Q2. Why is the Link/Act LED not lit while a device is connected to the corresponding port?****

– Please try the following:
– A1: Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device.
– A2: Make sure the connected device is turned on and works normally.
– A3: The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet). If Extend Mode is enabled, it should be less than 250 meters (820 feet).
– A4: On the LED On/Off configuration page, check whether the LED status is on. By default, the LED status is on.

Q3. Why is PoE/PoE+ Port not supplying power for PoE devices?****

When the total power consumption of connected PoE devices exceeds the maximum, the PoE port with a smaller port number has a higher priority. The system will cut off power to the ports with larger port numbers to ensure supply to other ports. Take TL-SG108PE as an example. Port 1, 2, and 4 are consuming 15.4 W respectively. If an additional PoE device with 18 W is inserted into port 3, the system will cut off the power of port 4 to compensate for the overload
