Tp-Link T1600G-18TS V1 [5/32] Chapter 1 introduction

JetStream Gigabit Smart Switch

Introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

TP-Link Gigabit Smart Switch, designed for workgroups and departments, provides

wire-speed performance and abundant L2 and L2+ management features. It provides a

variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security.

The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible

solutions for a variable scale of networks. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize

voice and video application. Link aggregation increases aggregated bandwidth,

optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB and CLI Log-in

bring abundant management policies. TP-Link Gigabit Smart Switch integrates multiple

functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can fully meet

the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.

T1600G-28PS/T1600G-52PS is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). All the

Ethernet RJ45 ports on the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function,

which can automatically detect and supply power with those powered devices (PDs*)

complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.

Note:

■

*PSE is a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE

setup.

■

*PoE is a technology that describes a system to transmit electrical power, along

with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet

network.

■

*PD is a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include

powering IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, network cameras, network

hubs, embedded computers etc.
