3. Connect the power cable to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet.

4. Connect devices to the switch using Ethernet cables.

   • All 24 ports support 1Gbps speeds for high-performance networking.

5. Use the web-based management interface for configuration (VLAN, QoS, port mirroring, etc.).

6. Ensure proper connectivity: LED indicators on the switch will show power and data transmission status.

2. Type of Services/License/Plans Available

The TL-SG1024DE is an Easy Smart Switch, meaning it has basic management capabilities but does not require a subscription or license. It offers:

• Unmanaged Mode – Plug-and-play operation with default settings.

• Smart Management Mode – Allows configuration of VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, and port mirroring via the web interface.

3. Main Differences Between Service/License/Plan

• Unmanaged Switches (e.g., TL-SG1024) – No configuration options, plug-and-play only.

• Easy Smart Switches (e.g., TL-SG1024DE) – Basic configuration options like VLAN and QoS but no advanced Layer 3 features.

• Fully Managed Switches – Advanced features such as SNMP, Layer 3 routing, and remote management.
