1.1  Product Overview 
TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed Switch provides both Web and Command 
Line management interface. The Embedded Web Interface supports remote 
configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting. The EIA-standardized 
framework together with smart configuration capacity can provide flexible 
solutions for different scale of networks.   
The TL-SL5428E provides 24 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation RJ45 ports, 4 
10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports, 2 SFP (Small Form-Factor 
Pluggable) module ports (27F, 28F) and 1 Console port. The Port 27F (28F) 
and Port 27T (28T) are referred to as “combo” ports, which means they cannot 
be used simultaneously, otherwise only SFP ports work.
