Chapter 1 Introduction of the Product
Thank you for choosing the TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D 5/8-port
Gigabit Desktop Switch.
1.1 Overview of the Product

Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet Technology, TL-SG1005D/
TL-SG1008D Gigabit Desktop Switch provides the seamless
network connection, which can speed up your old network to
1000Mbps, ensuring 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-
SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch 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-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch is plug-and-play. In
addition, the Auto-MDI/MDIX 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, a switch or
a PC, 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.
The TL-SG1005D/TL-SG1008D switch adopts Green Ethernet
technology, supports power saving features. The switch
automatically powers down the ports that have no link or are
connected to the computers which have been shut down,
budgets power output for different Ethernet cable lengths.

Chapter 3 Installation
The switch can be either located on a desktop or mounted on a wall.
3.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk

To locate the switch on a desktop, please follow these steps:
1) Place the switch on a flat desk.
2) Inspect the Power Adapter carefully and make sure that it
is properly connected to a power source.
3) Ensure adequate ventilation space around the switch for
dissipating heat and air.
Note:
Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the switch.
To ensure the stable cable connection, please keep the switch
horizontal on the desktop, with white cover facing up.
3.2 Mounting the Switch on a Wall

There are two wall-mounting slots on the bottom panel of the
switch. To mount the switch on a wall, please follow the steps
below.
1) Drill two holes into the wall. Insert a screw into each hole
and leave a part of its head exposed.
2) Place the two wall-mounting slots over the screws and
slide the switch down to fasten it.

1. The Power LED is not lit
Check to see if the AC power cord is connected to the
switch properly, and make sure the power source is ON.
2. The Link/Act LED is not lit when a device is connected
to the corresponding port
Check to see if the cable connectors are firmly plugged into
the switch and the device, and verify the connected device
is turned on and working well. Make sure the cable is not
longer than 100 meters (328 feet).
