Quick Installation Guide
Omada Gigabit Smart PoE++ in and PoE+ out Switch

LED Explanation

System
On/Off: System running abnormally
Flashing: System running normally
PoE MAX
On: The remaining PoE power is ≤ 7 W
Flashing: The remaining PoE power keeps ≤ 7 W for more than 2 minutes
Off: The remaining PoE power is > 7 W
Link/Act
On (Green): Connected to a 1000 Mbps device
On (Yellow): Connected to a 10/100 Mbps device
Flashing: Transmitting/receiving data
Off: No device is connected to the corresponding port.

PoE Status
For Port 1-4
On: Providing PoE power
Flashing: Current-overload/Short-circuit/Connected to a non-standard PD/Power exceeded the user-defined value
Off: Not providing PoE Power
For Port 5
On (Green): Powered by 802.3bt
On (Yellow): Powered by 802.3af/at
Off: Power off
The LED will be on after port 5 is connected to a PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) for 2-3 seconds.

Connection

Note:

SG2005P-PD does not support DC or AC power input. A PSE device needs to be connected to the PoE IN port to provide power for SG2005P-PD.
The PoE OUT ports can also be connected to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.
Maximum PoE power is 30 W for each PoE port, and 6 W/ 19 W/ 44 W/ 64 W PoE power budget for all PoE ports when powered by 802.3af (type 1)/ 802.3at (type 2)/ 802.3bt (type 3, 60 W)/ 802.3bt (type 4, 90 W) respectively.
PoE budget calculations are based on laboratory testing. Actual PoE power budget is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of client limitations and environmental factors.

Mounting

Note: The switch can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted. Follow the steps below for the appropriate installation and make sure the switch is installed with its ports facing down.

Method 1: Pole Mounting

Lead the end of the pole mounting strap through the back of the mounting bracket.
Fix the mounting bracket on the pole and fasten the strap, then secure the switch into the mounting bracket as shown below.

Method 2: Wall Mounting

Place the mounting bracket in the right position. and mark four positions for the screw holes. Drill four 6 mm holes at the marked positions, insert the anchors into the holes, align the bracket to the anchors and drive the self- tapping screws into the anchors through the bracket.
Align the mounting bracket and the switch, and secure the switch into the mounting bracket as shown below.

Configuration

The switch supports two configuration methods:

Standalone Mode: Configure and manage the switch singly.
Controller Mode: Configure and manage the network devices centrally. It is recommended in the large-scale network, which consists of mass devices such as access points, switches, and gateways.
Note: When the switch is changed from Standalone Mode to Controller Mode, configurations of the switch will be lost. For details, refer to the related documents on the download center of our official website:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/.

Method 1: Standalone Mode
In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the switch.

To access the management page of the switch, open a browser and type the switch’s IP address in the address field, then press the Enter key.
If the switch obtains IP address from the DHCP server (typically a router), find the switch’s IP address on the DHCP
If not, use the default IP address168.0.1 to launch the switch’s management page.
Note: Make sure the switch and computer are in the same subnet.
Enter admin for both the username and password in the lower case letters to log in. The first time you log in, change the password to better protect your network and devices.
After a successful login, the main page will You can click the menus on the top side and left side to configure the corresponding functions.

For the detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide and CLI Guide. The guides can be found on the download center of our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/.

Method 2: Controller Mode
Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:

Type 1: Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)
Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you have no spare PC to keep running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to be purchased additionally. For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of OC200/OC300.

Note:

Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the router, switch, and EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.

Type 2: Omada Software Controller
On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada Software Controller from https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software-controller/.
Then run the file and follow the wizard to install and launch the Omada Software Controller. To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep running on your computer.

Choose from the following two types of Management Interface:
Type 1: Via Web Browser

Open the Omada Controller’s web page.

For Omada Software Controller Launch the Omada Software Controller on your PC. After the initiation process, the controller automatically opens its web page. If not, click Launch a Browser to Manage the Network.
For Omada Hardware Controller As Omada Hardware Controller gets its IP address from the DHCP server of the router, we don’t know its IP address explicitly. However, we can find it out on the router’s DHCP client list.
a. You need first find the IP address of the router. Open the command line on your PC and enter In the result list, find the Default Gateway, which is also the IP address of the router.
b. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the router. Log into the router’s web page, and both the username and password are admin by Then go to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the IP address of your controller according to its MAC address.
c. Enter the IP address of your controller in address bar to open its web page.
1. On the Omada Controller’s page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.
2. After quick setup, login page appears. Enter the username and password you have created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
3. (For Remote Management) You can remotely access and manage your controller via Omada Cloud Service.
  Note: Before you start, make sure that both your controller and your PC can access the internet.
  * For Omada Software Controller, refer to its User Guide
For Omada Hardware Controller

b. Launch a web browser and enter https://omada.tplinkcloud.com in the address bar. Enter your TP-Link ID and password to log in. Click + Add Controller and choose Hardware Controller to add your controller. •

Type 2: Via Omada App

Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from App Store or Google Play:
https://www.tp-link.com/common/app/omada/qrcode.php
Launch your Omada App and configure the controller at a local site or remote site.
• Local Management

For Omada Software Controller
a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller and your controller has been bound with your TP-Link ID.
b. Launch Omada App and log in with your TP-Link ID. Then go to Cloud Access. A list of controllers that have been bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Then you can further configure the controller.
For Omada Hardware Controller
a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller. By default, Cloud Access is enabled. Make sure that the Cloud LED is flashing slowly.
