The DST can be set according to unique start and end dates for a particular year or as a recurring period for any year. For a specific setting in a particular year, complete the fields in the Daylight Savings area; for a recurring setting, complete the fields in the Recurring area.

Daylight Savings:

USA — The device switches to DST at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April, and reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.

European — The device switches to DST at 1:00 am on the last Sunday in March and reverts to standard time at 1:00 am on the last Sunday in October. The European option applies to EU members, and other European countries using the EU standard.

Other — The DST definitions are user-defined based on the device locality. If Other is selected, the From and To fields must be defined.

Time Set Offset (1-1440)— Used for non-USA and European countries to set the amount of time for DST (in minutes). The default time is 60 minutes.

From — Indicates the time that DST begins in countries other than the USA and Europe, in the format Day/Month/Year in one field and HH:MM in another. For example, if DST begins on October 25, 2007 at 5:00 am, the two fields should be set to 25/Oct/07 and 05:00. The possible field values are:

Date — The date on which DST begins. The possible field range is 1-31.

Month — The month of the year in which DST begins. The possible field range is Jan-Dec.

Year — The year in which the configured DST begins.

Time — The time at which DST begins. The field format is HH:MM. For example: 05:30.

To — Indicates the time that DST ends in countries other than the USA and Europe, in the format Day/Month/Year in one field and HH:MM in another. For example, if DST ends on March 23, 2008 at midnight, the two fields should be 23/ Mar/08 and 00:00. The possible field values are:

Date — The date on which DST ends. The possible field range is 1-31.

Month — The month of the year in which DST ends. The possible field range is Jan-Dec.

Year— The year in which the configured DST ends.

Time — The time at which DST starts. The field format is HH:MM. For example: 05:30.

Recurring:

Recurring — Enables user-defined DST for countries in which DST is constant from year to year, other than the USA and Europe.

From — The time that DST begins each year. In the example, DST begins locally every first Sunday in April at midnight. The possible field values are:

Day — The day of the week from which DST begins every year. The possible field range is Sunday-Saturday.

Week — The week within the month from which DST begins every year. The possible field range is 1-5.

Month — The month of the year in which DST begins every year. The possible field range is Jan-Dec.

Time — The time at which DST begins every year. The field format is Hour:Minute. For example: 02:10.

To — The time that DST ends each year. In the example, DST ends locally every first Sunday in October at midnight. The possible field values are:

Day — The day of the week at which DST ends every year. The possible field range is Sunday-Saturday.

Week — The week within the month at which DST ends every year. The possible field range is 1-5.

Month — The month of the year in which DST ends every year. The possible field range is Jan-Dec.

Time — The time at which DST ends every year. The field format is HH:MM. For example: 05:30.

2.Define the Date, Local Time and Time Zone Offset fields.

3.To configure the device to automatically switch to DST, select Daylight Savings and select either USA, Euro-pean, or Other. If you select Other, you must define its From and To fields. To configure DST parameters that will recur every year, select Recurring and define its From and To fields.

TL-SG3109, TL-SL3428, TL-SL3452 specifications

The TP-Link TL-SL3428 is a feature-rich Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized business environments. It is part of TP-Link’s JetStream series, which emphasizes reliability, performance, and robust management capabilities. Built with 28 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the TL-SL3428 provides sufficient bandwidth to support a wide range of network applications.

One of the standout features of the TL-SL3428 is its support for Layer 2 management protocols. This allows for more granular control and optimized performance across network segments. The switch supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segmentation, which enhances network security and efficiency by isolating various types of traffic. This feature is particularly useful in larger organizations where different departments or teams may require separate network environments.

The TL-SL3428 also includes advanced QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. This functionality prioritizes traffic based on predefined rules, which ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth to function optimally. With QoS implementation, users can experience minimized latency, leading to better performance in VoIP and video conferencing applications.

In terms of redundancy and reliability, the switch also supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), enabling multiple connections to be combined for increased bandwidth and failover support. This feature significantly enhances network resilience, ensuring minimal downtime during failures.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another important characteristic of the TL-SL3428. With PoE capabilities, this switch can deliver electrical power along with data over the same Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional wiring. This is especially advantageous for IP devices like cameras, access points, and VoIP phones.

Security features are abundant in the TL-SL3428 as well. It implements port security, storm control, and DHCP snooping, all of which contribute to a secure network infrastructure. The switch’s management capabilities can be accessed through a user-friendly web interface, making it easier for IT administrators to configure and monitor network activities.

Overall, the TP-Link TL-SL3428 is an exemplary choice for businesses looking to enhance their network performance with advanced management features, security protocols, and reliability. Its combination of speed, flexibility, and manageability make it a valuable tool for any growing organization.
