[. . . ] The good of the TRUNK is that you can use many lower speed devices as a higher speed device. Using the TRUNK, you can only add the adapters in the server machine connected to the switch to solve the traffic between the switch and the server. You also can use the switch to solve the traffic between the switch and the server. TL-SL2109's TRUNK function supports one TRUNK, which is made up of the seventh and the eighth port, the TRUNK port's bandwidth can get to 400Mbps. 2. 2 Virtual Local Area Network The Virtual Local Area Network can be out of the constraints of the physical connections. You can move the workstations among the workgroup and the subnet without changing the physical connection. The work stations build up the logical workgroup or the virtual subnet to improve the performance of the system. Poise the flux in the network and utilize the source of the device reasonedly. In the same time, the VLAN decompresses the management and maintenance of the network. Virtual Group: The members of the groups' communication with each other will be greatly improved. Safety: Because only the legal user can forward the information, the safety of the network will be improved. Economize cost: You can use VLAN in the network without adding the router or re-distributing the cable. The TL-SL2109P supplies nine Port-based VLAN. 2. 3 Priority The TL-SL2109 supplies the port-based priority. The frames with high level priority can be solved firstly. -3- TL-SL2109 8+1G Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch User Guide 2. 4 Main features Complies with IEEE 802. 3IEEE 802. 3ab 8 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX 1 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX Supports IEEE802. 3x flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode Supports port-based VLAN with 9 entries Supports TRUNK Supports Port Enable/Disable Supports Static Port Priority with 2-level priority queuing 1 console port supporting configured software setting Desktop or rack-mountable steel case Internal power supply -4- TL-SL2109 8+1G Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch User Guide Chapter 3: Installation 3. 1 Installation Firstly, please place the switch following the steps: The surface must support at least 5kg; The power source must be within 1. 5m; Check the power cable carefully to make sure the connection to AC power; Leave enough space for the ventilation. 3. 1. 1 Installation on the desktop 1. Place the Switch on a desk which has enough space; Take off the four pads' adhesive tape and adhere to the four circle grooves on the bottom of the switch respectively; Turn off the switch again, place on the desktop. 3. 1. 2 Rack Installation The TL-SL2109 can be mounting in an EIA Standard size 19 inches rack. Attach the mounting brackets to each side of the TL-SL2109 with the screwes; 2. Use the screwes to secure the switch to the rack. .

Drill two holes with a 6mm diameter on the wall, the distance between the holes is 160mm. Press the plastic tube in the hole entirely, then put screws in the plastic tubes, screw them with a few body stuck out the wall; 3. Place the switch to the two screws by the holes in the switch. 3. 1. 4 Power on The TL-SL2109 can be used with the power source in the range of 110 to 260 VAC, 50-60Hz. Caution: As a precaution in the event of a power failure, unplug the switch, when the power resumed, plug the switch back in. 3. 1. 5 Initialization Turn on the power, the switch will automatically initialize and the LEDs, will be light as follows: 1. As the time you turn on the power, the LEDs will turn on for a second, which indicates system resetting. The power LED is always light. -6- TL-SL2109 8+1G Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch User Guide 3. 2 Explanation of switch appearance and the method of connecting switch The part gives you more details about front panel, rear panel, LEDs and extension port of the switch. 3. 2. 1 Front Panel There are 8 10/100Mbps ports and LED indicators, 1 10/100/1000Mbps port and LED indicator, 1 serial port on the front panel of the TL-SL2109. 1 Link Act 100Mbps 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10M 100M 1000M GIGA 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 GIGA Console Power Act Fig 3. 2 Front Panel of the TL-SL2109 3. 2. 2 Rear Panel There is a power connector on the rear panel. [. . . ] Select the VLAN Setting menu or click the VLAN Setting button. 2. Fig 4. 19 Select VLAN Setting Then move the cursor to a VLAN group, click the port(s) you want to put in, such as P2, P3, P4, P5. - 20 - TL-SL2109 8+1G Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch User Guide Fig 20 VLAN groups Caution: VLANs can have the same port(s), and a VLAN can have only one port, the port can not transmit data with the others. The Port(s) you selected is(are) in the same VLAN, you can delete or add the port(s) from the VLAN, just click the port(s) once again. Caution: When a workstation moves from a VLAN to another VLAN the administrator should reassign the member of the VLAN. When the TRUNK is enabled, the switch requires all the ports, for the TRUNK are in the same VLAN. - 21 - TL-SL2109 8+1G Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch User Guide Fig 4. 21 VLAN group's member changing 4. 7 Priority over ToS and VLAN Tag 1. Select the Priority Setting or click the Priority over ToS and VLAN. 2. Fig 4. 22 Select Priority Setting The Priority is divided to three categories: Port-based priority, VLAN Tag based priority and ToS tag based priority. [. . . ]
