Chapter 1  Introduction
1.1  Product Overview
Designed for workgroups and departments, TP-Link JetStream Smart Switch provides wire-speed 
performance and abundant 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 Login 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.
T1500-28PCT/T1500G-10PS/T1500G-10MPS/T1600G-28PS (TL-SG2424P)/T1600G-52PS (TL-
SG2452P) is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). Some of the 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.
*PSE: a device (switch or hub for instance) that provides power through an Ethernet cable.
*PoE: a technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote 
devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet.
*PD: a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include powering network 
cameras, wireless LAN access points, IP telephones, network hubs, embedded computers etc.
