Note:

■■ SFP module supports hot-plugging, plug the SFP module into the SFP port and the switch can identify it automatically.

■■ The SFP port supports 100/1000Base-FX SFP module at full-duplex mode. When using a SFP module, you need to log on to the GUI of the switch and configure the corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on Switching→Port→Port Config page. For 100M module, please select 100MFD while select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed and Duplex mode of SFP mode is 1000MFD. For TL-SL2210/TL-SL2452, the SFP port can only be used with a gigabit module.
