High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, significantly shortening the service life of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions for the device, check the Appendix B Specifications.

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, attach much importance to the following items:

• Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
• Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the 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, 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 and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting station.
• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning 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 °C. As this instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken.

• Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed.
• Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
• Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.

• There should be 5 to 10 cm of clearance around the device for ventilation and make sure the air flow is adequate.
• The voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage of the device.
• The power socket, device and rack are well grounded.
• The device is correctly connected to other network devices.

3.5 Power On
Plug the female connector of the provided power cord into the power socket of the device and plug the positive connector into a power outlet as the following figure shows. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage (100-240 V~ 50/60 Hz).
Figure 3-5 Connecting to Power Supply

Note:

1. The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The provided plug, socket and/or module in your region may differ from the figures above.
2. Generally PWR1 takes priority over PWR2.

3.6 Initialization
After the device is powered on, it begins the Power-On Self-Test. A series of tests run automatically to ensure the device functions properly. During this time, its LED indicators will respond in the following order:

1. The PWR LED indicator lights on all the time. The SYS LED and the LED indicators of all the ports keep off.
2. After about one minute, the SYS LED and LED indicators of all the ports will flash momentarily and then turn off.
3. Several seconds later, the SYS LED indicator will flash, which represents a successful initialization.

3.7 Stack Topology
With stackable design, the switches can be stacked into one stack topology for higher reliability, larger bandwidth, and simpler networking. To build the stack topology, you need to prepare 2-4 switches and enough SFP+/SFP28 modules/cables. For more details, see the table below:

There are three stack topology structures for different scenarios, please build the proper topology according to your needs:

1. Chain Topology: Chain topology is relatively simple and does not require cable connection between the first and last unit. It is suitable for long-distance stacking, but its reliability is relatively low.
   Figure 3-6 Chain Topology
   

2. Ring Topology: Ring topology has higher reliability compared with the chain topology. When one of the chains in the ring topology is disconnected, the ring topology becomes a chain topology, but the entire stack system can still work normally. The ring topology requires cable connection between the first and last unit, so it’s not suitable for long-distance stacking.
   Figure 3-7 Ring Topology
   

3. Star Topology: Star topology connects the switches to a central master switch, therefore, it can significantly increase the data forwarding rate between member switches while providing unified management.
   Figure 3-8 Star Topology
   

Note:

• Stack port is not allowed to connect to non-stack port, as it may affect the operation of the device.
• Stack ports with the same group ID are not allowed to connect to stack ports with different group IDs.
• A stack port group is a logical port dedicated to stacking and needs to be bound to a stack port. A stack port group can be bound to one or more stack ports to improve bandwidth and reliability.

Chapter 4 Configuration

4.1 Configuration Overview
The switch supports two configuration options:
■ 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/.

4.2 Standalone Mode
In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the switch using GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (command-line interface).
Figure 4-1 Topology for Standalone Mode

■ Using the GUI

1. To access the management page of the switch, make sure the switch and computer are in the same subnet. 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 server.
   ■ If not, use the default IP address 192.168.0.1 to launch the switch’s management page.

2. 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.

3. After a successful login, the main page will appear. 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/.

■ Using the CLI

• Set up a Telnet or SSH connection to access the switch via CLI.
• Use the console port to access the switch. When using the console port, start the terminal emulation program (such as the Hyper Terminal) on the PC and configure the terminal emulation program as follows:

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/download-center.html

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

4.3 Controller Mode
Controller Mode applies to the large scale network with mass devices. All devices can be centrally configured and monitored via Omada Hardware Controller or Omada Software Controller.
Note: Before the following configurations, make sure the switch can access the internet. When using Omada Software/Hardware Controller, make sure the switch and the controller are in the same subnet. Typically, the switch obtains IP address from the DHCP server. You can check the switch’s IP address on the DHCP server.

■ Via Omada Hardware Controller
Omada Hardware Controller 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. Follow the steps below to configure the Omada Hardware Controller.
Figure 4-2 Manage the network via Omada Hardware Controller

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, or EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.

1. Find the IP address of the router. Open the command line on your PC and enter ipconfig. In the result list, find the Default Gateway, which is also the IP address of the router.
2. 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 default. Then go to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the IP address of your controller according to its MAC address.
3. Enter the IP address of the your controller in the address bar to open its web page.
4. On the Omada Controller’s web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.
5. After the quick setup, the login page appears. Enter the username and password you have created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
6. If you want to manage the devices reomotely, follow the next steps:
   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.
   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. Then you can further configure the controller.

For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of Omada Hardware Controller.

■ Via 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 the Omada Software Controller. Follow the steps below to configure the Controller.
Figure 4-3 Manage the network via Omada Software Controller

1. 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.
2. On the Omada Controller’s web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.
3. After the quick setup, the login page appears. Enter the username and password you have created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
4. If you want to manage the devices reomotely, follow the next steps:
   a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller and your controller has been bound with your TP-Link ID. On the Omada Controller’s web page, go to Settings > Cloud Access to enable Cloud Access and bind your TP- Link ID. If you have set it up in the quick setup, skip this step.
   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. A list of controllers that have been bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Then you can click Launch to further configure the controller.

Note:
■ To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep running on your computer.

* Omada App
With the Omada app, you can also manage your controller at a local site or a remote site via your mobile device.
For the detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide of the controller. The guide can be found on the download center of our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/.

Appendix A Troubleshooting

Q1. What could I do if I forgot the username and password of the switch?

1. Connect the console port of the PC to the console port of the switch and open a terminal emulation program.

2. Power off and restart the switch. Perform the action indicated by the terminal emulation program to reach the bootUtil menu. The action differs from product to product. Possible actions are listed below:
   • Press any key to stop autoboot.
   • Press CTRL-B to reach the bootUtil menu.

3. The bootUtil menu will be shown. Enter the number 6 to select the “Password recovery” option and enter Y to delete all the users and passwords. The default login username and password are both admin. The other configurations in the switch will not be changed.

4. For models without the password recover feature, select the “Reset” option to restore all the configurations to factory defaults. The default login username and password are both admin.

Q2. Why does the PWR LED work abnormally?
The PWR/Power LED should be lit up when the power system works normally. If the PWR/Power LED worked abnormally, take the following steps:

1. Make sure that the power cable is connected properly, and the power contact is normal.
2. Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage of the switch.

Q3. What should I do if I cannot access the web management page?
Try the following:

1. Check every port LED on the switch and make sure the Ethernet cable is connected properly.
2. Try another port on the switch and make sure the Ethernet cable is suitable and works normally.
3. Power off the switch and, after a while, power it on again.
4. Make sure the IP address of your PC is set within the subnet of the switch.
5. If you still cannot access the configuration page, reset the switch to its factory defaults. Then the IP address of your PC should be set as 192.168.0.x (“x” is any number from 2 to 254) and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

Q4. Why is the terminal emulation program not displaying correctly?
Try the following:

1. Make sure the power supply is normal and the console cable is properly connected.
2. Check if the console cable is the right type.
3. Ensure the parameters of the terminal emulation program are correct: configure Bits per second as 38400, Data bits as 8, Parity as None, Stop bits as 1, and Flow control as None.
