Configuració

Follow these steps to set up your TL-SG2008P switch:

1. Desempaquetar el dispositiu: Carefully remove the switch, power adapter, installation guide, and rubber feet from the packaging.
2. Fixeu els peus de goma: For desktop placement, attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent slipping and protect surfaces.
3. Connectar l'alimentació: Connect the power adapter to the switch's power input and then plug it into a power outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.
4. Connectar dispositius de xarxa: Use Ethernet cables to connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, IP cameras, wireless access points) to the RJ45 ports on the switch. For PoE-powered devices, connect them to ports 1-4.
5. Verifica la connectivitat: Check the Link/Act LEDs for each connected port. A solid green or yellow light indicates a successful connection.

For initial management, you can access the switch via its web-based interface. Refer to the included Installation Guide for default IP address and login credentials.

En funcionament

The TL-SG2008P switch offers various features for efficient network operation:

• PoE+ Functionality: Ports 1-4 support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), allowing them to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the Ethernet cable. This simplifies deployment by eliminating the need for separate power outlets for these devices.
• Integració amb Omada SDN: The switch can be integrated into the TP-Link Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform. This enables centralized management of your network devices, including switches, access points, and gateways, from a single interface. Management options include Omada Hardware Controller, Omada Software Controller, or standalone mode.
• PoE Recovery: This feature automatically detects and reboots unresponsive PoE-powered devices, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing manual intervention.

• Característiques avançades del programari: The switch supports L2/L3/L4 QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize traffic, ensuring high quality for video and voice data transmission. Other features include IGMP Snooping for efficient multicast traffic management, Link Aggregation for increased bandwidth, and Flow Control to prevent data loss during congestion.
• Seguretat de la xarxa: Enhance your network security with features like 802.1Q VLAN, IP-MAC-Port binding, Access Control List (ACL), Port Security, DoS defend, Storm control, DHCP Snooping, and 802.1X RADIUS authentication.

Manteniment

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your TL-SG2008P switch, consider the following maintenance practices:

• Col·locació: Place the switch in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in enclosed spaces.
• Neteja: Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure the ventilation holes are free from dust and obstructions.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Reviseu periòdicament el TP-Link weblloc web per a actualitzacions de firmware. Mantenir el firmware actualitzat pot millorar el rendiment, afegir noves funcions i solucionar vulnerabilitats de seguretat.
• Gestió de cables: Ensure all Ethernet cables are securely connected and properly routed to avoid accidental disconnections or damage.

Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues with your TL-SG2008P switch, refer to these common troubleshooting tips:

• Sense energia: If the Power LED is off, ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet if necessary.
• Sense enllaç/activitat: If a Link/Act LED is off for a connected device, check the Ethernet cable connection at both ends. Try a different cable or port. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• El dispositiu PoE no s'encén: For PoE-powered devices, ensure they are connected to ports 1-4. Verify that the device is PoE compatible and that the total power budget of 62W is not exceeded. The PoE Status LED should be solid green when power is delivered. If it's flashing green, there might be a PoE fault.
• Problemes de rendiment de la xarxa: If experiencing slow speeds, check for excessive network traffic or potential loops. Utilize QoS settings to prioritize critical traffic. Ensure all connected devices are operating at their optimal speed (Gigabit connections should show green Link/Act LEDs).
• Accés a la interfície de gestió: Si no podeu accedir a web management interface, ensure your computer is on the same network segment as the switch and that you are using the correct IP address and credentials. Refer to the installation guide for default settings.
