3. Funzionamento dell'interruttore
Once connected, the TL-SG105-M2 operates automatically. It is an unmanaged switch, meaning it requires no user configuration for basic network functionality. The auto-negotiation feature ensures optimal performance for all connected devices by automatically adjusting link speeds (100Mb/1G/2.5G).
Indicatori LED:
- LED di potenza: Indicates the power status of the switch. On: Power on. Off: Power off.
- Link/Act LEDs (Left LED - Green): On: Running at 2.5 Gbps. Blinking: Transmitting/receiving data.
- Link/Act LEDs (Right LED - Green): On: Running at 1 Gbps. Blinking: Transmitting/receiving data.
- Link/Act LEDs (Right LED - Yellow): On: Running at 100 Mbps. Blinking: Transmitting/receiving data.
The fanless design of the switch ensures silent operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like homes and offices. Its durable metal casing also contributes to good heat dissipation, maintaining stable performance.

4. Manutenzione
The TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 is designed for minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Keep the device in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating, although its fanless design aids in heat dissipation.
- Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation.
- Evitare di posizionare oggetti pesanti sopra l'interruttore.
- Ensure all cable connections are secure and undamaged.
5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
If you encounter issues with your TL-SG105-M2 switch, consider the following:
- Nessun potere: Check if the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional.
- Nessun LED di collegamento/attività: Verify that the Ethernet cables are correctly plugged into both the switch and the connected device. Try using a different Ethernet cable or connecting to a different port on the switch. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Bassa velocità di rete: Confirm that your connected devices and cables support 2.5G speeds. While the switch supports auto-negotiation, older cables (e.g., Cat5) might limit performance. Ensure your router/modem is providing the expected internet speed.
- Connessione intermittente: Controllare che i cavi non siano allentati. Assicurarsi che l'interruttore non sia posizionato vicino a fonti di forti interferenze elettromagnetiche.
