L2 Managed Switch CCCCCCCCCCCInstallation 2222 Package Contents Make sure that the package contains the following items. If any of the listed items is damaged or missing, please contact your distributor. One Power Cord, One Console Cable and one Ground Cable One Switch This Installation Guide TL-SG5428 Two mounting brackets and the fittings One Resource CD TL-SG5428 2222Safety Precautions To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please observe the following rules.
L2 Managed Switch Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature and humidity of the device, please check the following table.
L2 Managed Switch protection measures should be taken. ■■ Ensure the rack and device are well earthed. ■■ Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground. ■■ Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning. ■■ Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor. Note: For detailed lightning protection measures, please refer to Chapter 3 Lightning Protection.
L2 Managed Switch 333 Turnover the device and attach the supplied rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom at each corner of the device. Feet Bottom of the Device Notch TL-SG 5428 FFFFFFFFFFFFDesktop Installation ■■ Rack Installation To install the device in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, follow the instructions described below: 111 Check the grounding and stability of the rack.
L2 Managed Switch CCCCCCCCCCCLightning Protection 3333 Cabling Reasonably In the actual network environment, you may need cable outdoors and indoors, and the requirements for cabling outdoors and indoors are different. A reasonable cabling system can decrease the damage of induced lightning to devices. Note: It’s not recommended using Ethernet cables outdoors. When cabling outdoors, please use a signal lightning arrester.

L2 Managed Switch 3333Connect to Ground Connecting the device to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and over-current of the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body from electric shock. In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following will instruct you to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to the grounding bar or connecting to the ground via the power cord.
L2 Managed Switch Note: ■■ ■■ The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The power cord you get from the package and the socket in your situation will comply with the regulation in your country, so they may differ from the figure above. If you intend to connect the device to the ground via the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC power cord, please make sure the PE (Protecting Earth) cable in the electrical outlet is well grounded in advance.
L2 Managed Switch 3333Use Lightning Arrester Power lightning arrester and signal lightning arrester are used for lighting protection. Power lightning arrester is used for limiting the voltage surge due to a lightning. If an outdoor AC power cord should be directly connected to the device, please use a power lightning arrester. Note: Power lightning arrester is not provided with our product. If needed, please self purchase it.
L2 Managed Switch CCCCCCCCCCCConnection 4444 Ethernet Port Connect the Ethernet ports of the Switch to the network devices by RJ45 cable as the following figure shown. RJ45 Port RJ45 Cable TL-SG54 28 FFFFFFFFFFFFConnecting the RJ45 Port 4444SFP Port Connect the SFP port to a SFP module. For the switch, if an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ45 port will be disabled and cannot be used.
L2 Managed Switch Optical fiber Optical fiber can be used as a medium for telecommunication and computer networking. It is especially advantageous for long-distance communications, because light propagates through the fiber with much less attenuation compared to electrical cables. For short distance applications, such as a network in an office building, optical fiber permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication.
L2 Managed Switch 4444Console Port CLI (Command Line Interface) enables you to manage the Switch, thus you can load the CLI after connecting the PCs or Terminals to the console port on the Switch via the provided cable. Connect the console port of the device with your computer by the console cable as the following figure shown. TL-SG5428 FFFFFFFFFFFFConnecting the Console Port You can also manage the device through the console port, for details please refer to the CLI Reference Guide on the resource CD.
