Chapter 1. Introduction of the Product
Thank you for choosing the TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch.
1.1 Overview of the Product
Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet Technology, the TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch provides the seamless network connection, which can speed up your old network to 1000Mbps. The increased speed and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality, which ensures the graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications with bandwidth-intensive files transferred across the network almost instantly. The non-blocking switching architecture adopted in the TL-SG1008D greatly improves network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between subnets by forwarding and filtering packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. The TL-SG1008D switch is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices, which can protect your existing network investments while provide you a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speed. The TL-SG1008D switch is very easy to manage since it is plug-and-play and no configuration is needed. In addition, the auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminates the demand of 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.
