Chapter 1  Product Introduction 
This chapter describes the features of the TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D 
Switch. 
1.1  Product Overview 
The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch provides you with a high- 
performance, low-cost, easy-to-use, seamless and standard upgrade to boost your 
old network to 1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server and 
backbone connections make Gigabit a reality. Power users in the home, office, 
workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth- 
intensive  files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other 
applications that have to move large files across the network almost instantly. 
The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch features a non-blocking 
switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for 
maximum throughput, MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging, IEEE802.3x 
flow control for full-duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode. It is 
compatible with all 10,100 and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is 
standard-based. It protects your existing network investments while providing you 
with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds. 
The TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1024D Switch is plug-and-play and no 
configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminate the 
need for 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.
