2.3Mounting the SFP Module (for TL-SL1351 Only)

The front panel of the TL-SL1351 consists of a SFP module, which support The Hot Plug- And- Draw. Should fixed the SFP into SFP pluggable when use the SFP module. The switch could identify and configure the SFP module automatically.

2.4Power on

TL-SL1210/TL-SL1117/TL-SL1226/TL-SL1351 Gigabit Switch is powered by AC power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED indicators should respond as follows:

1)All of the LED indicators will flash momentarily for one second, which represents a resetting of the system.

2)The power LED indicator will remain ON.

Chapter 3 Identifying External Components

This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch (here takes TL-SL1351 for example).

3.1Front Panel

The front panel of TL-SL1351 consists of switch LED indicators, 48 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports, 2 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports and 1 SFP module.

Note:

The SFP module is only for TL-SL3151.
