Chapter 1 Introduction of the Product
Thank you for choosing the TL-SG105/TL-SG108 5/8-port Gigabit
Desktop Switch.
1.1 Overview of the Product
Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet technology, TL-SG105/TL-SG108
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-SG105/
TL-SG108 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-SG105/TL-SG108 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-SG105/TL-SG108 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.

LEDs: Each 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Sensing RJ45 port has two
corresponding LEDs.
The LED on the left side of the RJ45 port will light solid green when a
1000Mbps device is connected to the port. It flashes green when data is
being transmitted or received on the working connection.
The LED on the right side will light solid yellow when a 10/100Mbps
device is connected to the port. It flashes yellow when data is being
transmitted or received on the working connection.
Note:
The LEDs’ description above explains the device’s working status after
initialization.
