Product Usage Instructions

LED Explanation

• Power: On: Power on Off: Power off
• PoE Status: On: PoE power provided Flashing: Current-overload/Short-circuit Off: No PoE power provided
• Link/Act: On: Link present but no activity Flashing: Transmitting/receiving data Off: No link
• PoE MAX: TL-SF1008LP Off: Total power supply < 34 W On: 34 W Total power supply < 41 W Flashing: Total power supply > 41 W (and similar for other models)

Switches Explanation

• Extend: Off: Ports run at 10/100 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 100 m away. On: Ports run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250 m away.
• Recovery: Off: The PoE Auto Recovery function is disabled. On: The switch will constantly detect the working status of a PoE powered device (PD). When the switch finds that the PD works abnormally, the switch will reboot it.
• Priority: Off: All the ports transmit data with the same priority. On: Port 1 and 2 transmit data in a higher priority than other ports.
• Isolation: Off: Ports can transmit data with each other. On: Specific ports cannot transmit data with other downlink ports.

Connection

• Ethernet Ports (1-8)
• DC Power Adapter
• AC Power Cord
• Internet
• PC

Note: PoE ports can also connect to non-PoE devices, but only transmit data.

FAQ

Can PoE ports connect to non-PoE devices?

Yes, PoE ports can connect to non-PoE devices, but they can only transmit data.

Q1. The Power LED is not lit.

The Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the Power LED is not lit, please check as follows:

• A1: Make sure the AC power cord is connected the switch with 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.

Q2. The Link/Act LED is not lit when a device is connected to the corresponding port.

It is recommended that you check the following items:

• 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 working well.
• 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).

Q3. Why are PoE ports 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 supplying to other ports.
Take TL-SF1008P as an example. If port 1, 2 and 4 are consuming 15.4 W respectively, and an additional PoE device with 20 W is inserted to port 3, the system will cut off the power of port 4 to compensate for the overload.

Q4. What should I notice before using the PoE Auto Recovery feature?

• A1: Before upgrading a connected PoE powered device (PD), disable PoE Auto Recovery to avoid the PD’s damage.
• A2: When a PD does not send data packets to the switch for a long period in certain scenarios (e.g. an IPC in sleep mode), disable PoE Auto Recovery to avoid the PD repeatedly rebooting.

PoE Status
On: PoE power provided
Flashing: Current-overload/ Short-circuit Off: No PoE power provided

Link/Act
On: Link present but no activity Flashing: Transmitting/receiving data Off: No link

PoE MAX

• TL-SF1008LP
  Off: Total power supply < 34 W
  On: 34 W ≤ Total power supply < 41 W Flashing: Total power supply ≥ 41 W

• TL-SF1008P
  Off: Total power supply < 59 W
  On: 59 W ≤ Total power supply < 66 W Flashing: Total power supply ≥ 66 W

Switches Explanation

Note: The numbers in brackets indicate the ports where the feature takes effect. For example, when Extend(1-4) is toggled to On, the Extend mode will be enabled for ports 1-4.

• Extend (for TL-SF1008LP/TL-SF1008P/TL-SF1009P/TL-SL1311P/TL-SL1311MP)

  • Off: Ports run at 10/100 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 100 m away.
  • On: Ports run at 10 Mbps and support PoE power supply up to 250 m away.

• Priority (For TL-SF1008LP/TL-SF1008P/TL-SF1009P)

  • Off: All the ports transmit data with the same priority.
  • On: Port 1 and 2 transmit data in a higher priority than other ports. When congestion occurs, packets which are transmitted by the ports with higher priority occupy the whole bandwidth.
    Note: For simplicity, we will take TL-SF1008P for example throughout the Guide.

• Recovery (For TL-SF1008LP/TL-SF1008P/TL-SF1009P/TL-SL1311P/TL-SL1311MP)

  • Off: The PoE Auto Recovery function is disabled.
  • On: The switch will constantly detect the working status of a PoE powered device (PD). When the switch finds that the PD works abnormally, the switch will reboot it.

• Isolation (For TL-SF1009P/TL-SL1311P/TL-SL1311MP)

  • Off: Ports can transmit data with each other.
  • On: Specfic ports cannot transmit data with other downlink ports. They can transmit data only with the uplink ports.
